Would the best college teams ever beat the Nets?

Hell no, that 09-10 kentucky team will always be a favorite of mine, but there's a reason they lost to West Virginia. They had literally no three point shooters, and Wall had absolutely no jump shot then, not like he does now. And Cousins was just a primary back to the basket type, he wasn't pulling up for jumpers or popping threes back then.

They would be crushed by Brooklyn.

In fairness I think he's talking about the 2012 team with Davis, MKG, etc.

Cima was talking about the 09-10 team.

Edit: I guess I read that wrong, he's talking present day.

Yeah but I also said the '10 team in present day form, not back then. He hadn't clarified what he meant.

Yea, I just caught that. But I've heard people say that before. Alot of people have assumed that Wall and Cousins on that team we're similar to what you've now, and they are completely different players now. Even Bledsoe.

MKG was all hustle, which goes along way against other college talent but exploited against pro teams. He's still trying to translate his college level of talent to the pros.

Davis, was hands down the right choice at #1 but was far from a dominant go to threat on that team. He was unselfish to a fault, picking his spots to exploit smaller competition (he could bc the team was so good). His frame was too small to bang with the likes of BLopez, and his outside shot was just "nice for a center".

Not to mention Teague and Doron lamb were too small and would be taken advantage of on both sides of the ball.
