[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 240258, member: 1045"] FWIW, I think Cal is objectively better at putting kids into the NBA than other coaches are [U]with comparable talent[/U]. 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.).
