226 D1 teams shot better than the Hornets, Nets, and Wizards this year.

NBA’s offensive rating range: 121.88-106.79.

D1’s top 30 team offensive rating range: 125.0-115.4.

Not saying college players are better, that’s silly, but it’s objectively good basketball even when compared to the NBA.

I straight up disagree.

Greater talent does not equal a greater product.

The rules of the college game creates a more interesting product. Teams actually run different systems and utilize different combinations of player archetypes.

The NBA is grossly homogenous comparatively.

That’s so SoCon.
