Would OSU beat a team of current NBA rookies who left last year as freshman?

Wall, Bledsoe, Cousins, Favors, Henry, Orton, Bradley, Whiteside, Stephenson, Warren.

Probably not. That is still basically a college all star team one year removed.

I would defintely take the Bucks starting 7 over the cavs pile of shit. Where the game would hurt the bucks...the depth.

Sessions should not be in the league and neither should Hollins...nor Harris for that matter. 8 out of the top 9 Cav players are gone from last year. You ,lose 36 out of 37 games....then you have a lot of people that do not belong in the NBA.

I don't think the Buckeyes would actually win....but the Florida team of a few years ago would. And so would the Carolina team with Brand, Dunleavy, and Jay Williams. That Tarkanian team from UNLV was better than this Cav team as well.

As if the rest of your post didn't eradicate any credibility you may have had, this assures it.

Actually I really like Sessions, he is putting up some #s. He seems like a nice player to have. He makes Mo Williams expendable now.

As for the other young guys, I'm not sure where I stand. I know a lot of people like Eyenga, but a scout in SI said that he didn't ever envision neither Eyenga or Manny Harris to be guys to build the team around. He thinks the main reason they are playing is so that the team has an excuse for the losing it has been doing.

I have no clue what happened to Hickson, I was thinking he was destined for a breakout year, and he just can't seem to put it together

I must have missed that Carolina team.

Didn't know Elton, Dunleavy, and Jay had brothers who played in Chapel Hill.

And, uh, um, those 3 never played together.....

That was easily the best team Lute Olson ever assembled. The players off the bench could name the score against the Cavs.

I'm pretty sure Gene Keady was coaching that team.

Starting 7? 8 of the top 9? So who out of Mo, Parker, Varejao and Hickson was in the top 9? 18 players suited up for the Cavs last year, 10 of them are not there anymore...Coby Karl, Cedric Jackson and Darnell Jackson just to start...

No college team ever would come close to the Cavs for reasons I already mentioned. Unless you're able to contest my original post, you just need to sit down and be quiet while the grownups talk. If anyone thinks a college team could beat a pro team, they're an idiot.

I hate to say it but sullinger will flop on the NBA. He is a 6"9 center and doesn't have an outside shot. He will get eatin up in the NBA

He's a 6'9 center in college, which isn't all that bad. I doubt he plays center in the NBA. While he doesn't have great athleticism, he uses his body well, and will only continue to get better. I fail to see how you can call a guy a flop before he even plays a full season in college.

Shooting it in practice and in a game are way different. Untill I see sullinger step out and consistently hit jumpers I think he will be a flop in the NBA.

He hit a lot in high school, just because he's not asked to on this team doesn't mean he's incapable. Were he to be in this years draft he would go 1-3...at worst, that would mean drafters know what he's capable of, despite his size issue.

Again highschool and college and even NBA are way different. As a cavs fan I want no part of him. He will be a good role player but never a big star

He's a Carlos Boozer type. Actually I think their games are very similar. He's got a good shot though, he just doesn't have to use it in college.
