The Kentucky Wildcats are so loaded that one NBA GM isn’t even sure what to think.
“I’ve never seen anything like this ever,” that GM told Chad Ford of ESPN. “[John] Calipari has done such a great job managing all of these kids. He has them playing so hard. They don’t just beat you. They chew you up and spit you out. UCLA came out and they were afraid. They should be. If Kentucky is hitting 3s, no one can beat them. Even if they’re not, I still think they’re likely to go undefeated.”
Here is an excerpt from ESPN.com:
I spent the game sitting in the stands surrounded by NBA scouts and management. After speaking with a variety of them before, during and after the game, several themes emerged.
First, this is the greatest college basketball team many of them have witnessed. That’s saying something from a veteran crew of former elite college basketball players, former NBA players and veterans of the scouting business who have been watching the sport for several decades.
“I’ve never seen anything like this ever,” said a veteran GM with more than 20 years of experience. “[John] Calipari has done such a great job managing all of these kids. He has them playing so hard. They don’t just beat you. They chew you up and spit you out. UCLA came out and they were afraid. They should be. If Kentucky is hitting 3s, no one can beat them. Even if they’re not, I still think they’re likely to go undefeated.”
