FWIW, I think Cal is objectively better at putting kids into the NBA than other coaches are with comparable talent. Look at the same "one-and-done" caliber 5-star players that have recently gone to Kansas, UNC, UCLA, etc., and I think it is clear that Cal does a better job getting them exposure and drafted after one year than other coaches (with K being the only possible exception). And, to be fair, I am not sure many scouts thought guys like Eric Bledsoe, Devin Booker, James Young and Archie Goodwin were one-and-done caliber players before they went to Kentucky. (or that 5'10'' Tyler Ulis was a two-and-done player; or that juco transfer Josh Harrellson would get drafted after one year under Cal, etc.). That list right there, without even considering the "sure fire" guys, is probably as big as the list of just about any other coach in the country over the same time period, with the exception of K. Add on top of that his only real "bust" at Kentucky has been Skal Labissiere, who was still drafted in the first round after one year.
