Saw where Stephen A. said Calipari has under achieved, really? That's funny because Coach K and his Duke Blue Devils had...

#1- Giles (2016)
#3- Tatum (2016)
#10- Jackson (2016)
#11- Jeter (2015)
#16- Bolden (2016)
#21- Allen (2014)
#24- Kennard (2015)
#25- Jefferson (2012)
#36- Jones (2013)
#44- DeLavenier (2016)

All on the same team, lost 8 regular season games, finished 5th in the ACC, and lost on the first weekend of the NCAA Tourney. That may be the biggest underachievement of the last 10 years, maybe ever, but you know, Stephen A. isn't going to talk about that....

Stephen A knows basketball as much as my 1 year old nephew.

Also, if you just want to talk about draft pick quality - If I recall correctly, K lost 2 games and missed out on a championship with 5 lottery picks (four that year), including #1, in 1999.

Maybe if they'd had Jay Williams on the roster (#2 pick) like the following year, they'd have gone undefeated.

Point is.. the people who only look at # of top recruits per year and act like K doesn't have just as much talent as Cal per roster because they fail to consider that K keeps his guys on roster.. need to go back to remedial math for second graders.

K has been rolling in talent for as long as I've been alive (and I'm married), and if Cal had that much talent for that long at a top school, he'd be running out of fingers for rings, as well.

The Stephen As and Cowherds follow college basketball one month out of the year and come in with their own ridiculous hot takes just to get people talking. They are best ignored
