Only four players on that team recorded NBA minutes.

Haliburton is Godzilla stomping on Tokyo now -- but he was an 18-year old (barely) puppy at the time. I'm not sure you can compare baby Haliburton then to NBA stud Haliburton now fairly.

Horton-Tucker has played 3,430 NBA minutes, but he's never been more than a back-of-the-bench guy in terms of his productivity. He benefited from the perception of "upside" that never materialized and being signed by the agency that LeBron is a shadow investor in (as well as de facto Lakers' GM).

Shayok played in four NBA games for 28 minutes and 11 points.

Wigginton played in 19 NBA games for 199 minutes and 80 points.

Both were (at most) "cup of coffee" guys.

Nick is playing in Europe. Jacobson somehow ended up on a NFL practice squad. Lard is... Lard. Those seven were collectively the rotation that season. I don't know where you'd get six somehow.

That team wasn't somehow overflowing with NBA talent. And the NBA talent that it did took the form of two of the youngest players in college basketball that season. Sixth wasn't great and I'm not saying that I was satisfied with it, but we all collectively got an undeserved ego about ourselves that season.

Prohm as first team was loaded and didn’t finish in the top half. Cause Prohm sucked.

This is what you call moving the goalpost --

The point about the 2018-19 season is refuted. That team had talent but not gobs of it.

"Time to move onto another year! That'll show 'em!"

Wasn't my point. My point was the 2018-19 team wasn't somehow overflowing with talent and destined for greatness. It was a good team that probably could have done more, but not that much more.

Ben Jacobson absolutely embarrassed him last night. It was almost funny watching Prohm have zero answers for anything UNI did. Coaching is hard when you don't walk into great talent like you did the previous two times...

True. One year of tournament results doesn't mean as much as 18 games in league play when evaluating teams to me though
