The current group of NBA players drafted from Duke University might be the strongest from a college program in league history. I know UCLA & UNC both had hall-of-fame groups, but in terms of quality in depth, this Duke crop has them beat.

Duke University

Team A

Kyrie Irving
Kon Knueppel
Jayson Tatum
Cooper Flagg
Paolo Banchero

Team B

Jared McCain
Brandon Ingram
Jalen Johnson
Zion Williamson
Wendell Carter Jr

Team C

Grayson Allen
Luke Kennard
RJ Barrett
Marvin Bagley III
Dereck Lively Jr

Team D

Tre Jones
Sion James
Gary Trent Jr
Kyle Filipowski
Mark Williams

Team E

Tyus Jones
Tyrese Proctor
Wendell Moore
Khaman Maluach
Mason Plumlee

Duke is strong for sure but have a gander at some of the UK players currently playing, not even counting past players, I think it would be a heck of a match up.

Randle
KAT
Booker
Murray
Fox
Monk
Bam
SAG
PJ Washington
Herro
Keldon Johnson
Maxey
Quickley
Isaiah Jackson
Sharpe
Sheppard

Kentucky is better at the top. Don't think it is particularly close.

Guards - Fox, Maxey, Murray, Herro, Wallace, Quickley, Sheppard
Wings - SGA, Booker, Monk, K Johnson, Washington
Bigs - Bam, Towns, Randle, AD, Vanderbilt, Richards, I Jackson

No other school is beating Maxey, Booker, SGA, Bam, and Towns.

Even the Fox, Murray, Monk, Randle, AD 2nd team would be tough (you know in the 3 games AD would be healthy)
2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick

Starters - Luka, JB, Lebron, Wemby, Shaq
Rotation - D. Daniels, Mitchell, G. Wallace, Melo, Noah
Deep Bench - Korver, Turner

That?s crazy. Those two lists comprise about 10% of the league?s regular rosters.

what's crazy is having schools that loaded with NBA caliber talent not winning more NCAA titles.
