I would mostly agree as far as looking at high level individual talent.  Though I still think the pieces are there for this to be a very good college team.  If a couple key guys play better, and there’s reason to think they can, and the chemistry on both ends really comes together the way it often does - this team could still become very good.

That said, we had a long string of first round picks - and I don’t see one here.  I don’t think there’s anyone at this point that I think is a lock to play in the NBA and there’s only a few guys with a chance.   In our 2009-14 run we had Flynn, Johnson, Waiters, Grant, Melo - super athletic studs.  They were on a different level athletically than our guys now.

* Carey may be the exception, but he’s only a freshman and pretty raw still.  Tyus is a very good college player and a solid athlete who is always in great shape, but those kinds of guys I named above were a notch above athletically IMO.
