What if kids could not go straight to the pros from high school and the rule was enforced last year. Here's my question: Who would have won the tourney then? How good would Louisville be with Sebastian Telfair, North Carolina with JR Smith, Indiana with Josh Smith, Duke with Shaun Livingston, USC with Robert Swift, and whoever would have ended up with Dorrell Wright and Dwight Howard.
I think UNC would still be the best although Smith may have not got the minutes he deserved since McCants was ahead of him. Louisville would be in the Final game if they had Bassy. He is playing well at the NBA level, I don't think there would be a colliegete guard who could stick with him. Indiana would have definately made the tournament. Josh would have just dunked on everybody. Robert Swift looks so uncoordinated and skinny; I doubt he could have done much of anything to help USC out of the cellar in the Pac-10. Considering Duke already had Ewing at the point, I am sure Livingston would have been placed in the same situation as JR Smith would be in at UNC, but Duke could have really used his depth this season. Whoever got Dwight might have won it all based only on the fact they had Dwight. Howard is a beast at the NBA level, I find it hard to believe anyone could handle him down low. I have never seen Dorrell Wright play, so I don't know if he would have impacted any team that effectively.
