Re: Any one of the number 1 seeded NCAA teams, vs. Miami Heat current roster...
Wow, that's just terrible. That has to be the worst roster I've ever seen.
I think all the #1 seeds could at least hang with them for a little bit, if not beat them. -
Re: Any one of the number 1 seeded NCAA teams, vs. Miami Heat current roster...
I'd probably go Heat.
Not in an NFL vs CFB type "the NFL team always wins", but I just don't think the college teams this year are NBA good. UCLA, Kansas, and UNC are led by players who won't be NBA stars, and Memphis isn't exactly loaded with stars.
All four teams would be dominated inside, and Ricky Davis is about as good as any of the swing players.
Now, a 99 or 2001 Duke, the mid 90s UNC teams, pretty much any UCONN team until 2006, and a ton of 80s teams could do it. But in this era, you're stuck with the fundamentally sound teams and the great player surrounded by crap teams. Put Beasley on one of those teams, and I'd take them, but as it is, none of these teams have any major future NBA presence, except maybe Memphis.Comment

Have to go with the Heat...Easily
College Stats
Kasib Powell...15 ppg...50% shooting...4.3 asts...6 rebs
Earl Barron.....9 ppg....50% shooting...5 rebs...1 blk
Mark Blount....9 ppg....49% shooting...7 rebs....2.6 blks
Ricky Davis....15 ppg...46.6%.............5 rebs....1 stl
Chris Quinn.....18 ppg...45% 3-pt%.....6.4 asts...4 rebs...1.6 stls
The Heat would pretty much just completely overwhelm the opposition with their size ALONE. Not to mention that these players are much more experienced and have gotten better since they left college.
Plus, no college team in the entire nation has a squad with players that are even going to reach the pros. The Heat are exactly that. A team full of players who came from college and made the pros.
I mean, c'mon...The Heat are bad, but damn. Why you have to go and compare them to college squads man?...

Considering NBA rosters are filled with the best college players, I'd take the Heat (not that the talent differential is that great between a team like Memphis and the Heat, but their starting roster is a lot older, mature, and stronger).
Memphis is probably the only team that would compete with them.Last edited by Chip Douglass; 03-30-2008, 11:35 PM.I write things on the Internet.

And? This isn't football where you need 22 NFL quality starters and 15 quality reserves.
This is basketball. Given that the Heat are playing 4-5 D Leaguers, it's easily possible they'd lose to the best squads of all time. Especially since basketball doesn't have a position where players can't step in and be dominant players like QB or OL. 1 amazing player or two-three very good players are better than this Heat team. A healthy Heat team would destroy any college team, but when half of your salary is injured, of course you'll suck. They have maybe one and a half NBA quality starters between Davis and Blount, but that's it.
You're telling me you'd take the Heat over:
2001 Duke (Williams, Battier, Boozer, Dunleavy, Nate James, Duhan)
2004 UCONN (Ben Gordon, Okafor, Rashard Anderson, Vilinueva)
2005 UCONN (Villanueva, Boone, Anderson, Gay, Marcus Williams)
1999 Duke (Brand, Langdon, Avery, Magette, Battier)
The Perkins/Jordan UNC teams, the Hakeem/Drexler teams, and the other great teams? Come on.
The comments on being the best players from college are just plain wrong.
Of the 8 players the Heat played:
0 were lottery picks
1 was a first round picks (Davis at 21 overall)
2 were second round picks (including Blount at 54 overall)
5 were undrafted
6 were Dleague callups or inactive last year
Combined between all of them, you have 182 NBA starts in 2006-2007. Davis and Blount account for 162 of those on the TWolves and Alexander made 19 for Memphis).
When healthy, not a single player on the Heat right now started.Last edited by Cebby; 03-31-2008, 12:18 AM.Comment

Earl Barron-Undrafted
Chris Quinn-Undrafted
Kasib Powell-Preety sure he's undrafted.
Blount and Davis are proven NBA players.
Those 3 guys are came out of college on a few years ago.
UCLA has 4 guys who are bonafide top 20 picks, 3 of them likely top 10 picks.Comment

Re: Any one of the number 1 seeded NCAA teams, vs. Miami Heat current roster...
Too bad for UCLA the game isn't played with just 4 guys. While the UCLA roster might have 4 or 5 future NBA players, Miami has a roster with all NBA players. It doesn't matter if some of the players on the Heat were former D-Leaguers. That's still farther than most college players will ever make it. Any pro team would beat a college team because they are stronger, more mature, better conditioned, and face much better competition night in and night out. I don't care what type of level a college team plays on it's not close to the level a pro team plays at. Miami lost to Boston by 26 and it wasn't close but, the best college team would get absolutely destroyed by Boston. That college team would wish they would only be losing by 26 to Boston.Comment

LMAO, Paul Pierce is funny (and honest)
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap?gid=2008033002Kevin Garnett offered polite praise of the Miami Heat before Paul Pierce interrupted the postgame news conference and said, “Man, I am going to tell you the truth.” Then he did.
“They got D-Leaguers out there, so I think we just handled our business,” the Boston forward said, listing some of the five Miami players who spent time in the developmental league this season. “We’re supposed to do that. We knew this was a game we were supposed to win, and we just focused from the jump and went out and did it.”
By the way, I think last year's Florida team would take the Heat.
This is one of the worst teams we'll ever get to see- cherish this time, folks.Last edited by Spectre; 03-31-2008, 08:16 AM.
