This is the best starting 5 in the country no questions asked. How are teams like KU, Tennessee and UK ranked above them?

It literally make no sense.
 
Will go 30-2 in the regular season but fail to make it beyond the sweet 16
 
I wouldn't take that team over Kentucky's if they offered me a straight up trade, that's for damn sure. Wouldn't take them over KU or Duke either
 
That's what playing in the ACC will do for you. #paddingwins

Yeah the ACC is over-hyped every year. Not even a deep talent pool.

Well, it got the wood laid.to it in the tourney.

Yep sure did. Also laid wood to 31 teams throughout the season. ACC regular season and tourney champs. I wonder which one is the aberration.
 
Well lets see. This is KU's starting 5.

PG- Moore 5'11/Dotson 6'2 (12.2ppg, 3.5apg) or (5* recruit)
SG- Grimes 6'5 (5* recruit)
SF- Lawson 6'8 (12.3ppg, 8.1rbs)
PF- D. Lawson 6'9 (19.2ppg, 9.9rbs)
C- Udoka 7' (13ppg, 7rbs)

Pretty damn good and will be even better next year. That doesn't even include the insane depth KU has. Now lets compare that to UVA.

Jerome 6'5 (10.6ppg, 3.9apg)
Guy 6'2 (14.1ppg)
Hunter 6'7 (9.2ppg, 3.5rbs)
Diakite 6'9 (5.4ppg, 3.0rbs)
Salt 6'10 (3.4ppg, 4rbs)

I think its pretty clear why KU is better.

LOL at making an argument using raw numbers

how is Duke ranked above them?
It literally makes no sense

I disagree with that too. Duke actually has 3 superstar recruits though unlike Kentucky so its possible we can compete with UVA just on sheer talent alone.

KU and UK can't say that. They just have run of the mill 5 and 4 star recruits.

DeAndre Hunter changes everything for UVA. They would have made a deep run if they had him last year in the NCAAs. He's a guy who can create his own shot when the UVA system breaks down.

and Hunter can lock down a guy who is going off

So you're relying on a Cal transfer, 2 low 5 star freshmen, a bunch of knucklehead twins who played in a weak conference and a center who gets into foul trouble every game to beat the best team in the ACC last year who's returning all their major players besides Isaiah Wilkins?

Yeah good luck with that.

Devon Hall is a pretty big loss too

as we are told all the time UNPROVEN RECRUITS
UK has a better overall team then Duke has
what happens when Barrett gets in foul trouble, Duke is in trouble when that happens
one thing about it we will see in a few months

KU would absolutely annihilate Virginia next year. I hope it occurs.

That starting 5 is not very athletic.
