1)How many male basketball players would be good enough to be in the top 10 of female

just 10, right?

McGee,

I agree that no college team could handle a pro team. As a Duke fan, however, it is my duty to point out that as revered as that UNLV team was, Duke beat them. And won the title. That's all.

1. Talented local gym rats would dominate the women's game.

2. It's be about a 30pt beatdown on average, with the Bucks probably scoring 90-100 points.

LOL and totally agree with both.

1.

Gym rats at my local gym have included ex-NFL-ers,
ex-NBA-ers, ex-collegiate players, and some old guys
who seemed to be locked in at 3-pt range. The WBNA
all-stars once did a commercial where they went to
a local playground and played the local boys. The
voice-over said "... they didn't win every game,
but they did prove they could play." Uh huh. Sure
they did. The muscle-bound brutes at my local
gym would have a REAL hard time pushing
girls off the block.

2.

Totally agree. The NBA players have already established
themselves in the NBA. The collegiate kids will be
lucky to do so. Remember Alan Morrison and J.J. Reddick ?
Everyone was thinking these guys would come in and do great.
Their averages dropped by better than 50% their first year
in the NBA.

I was more referring to the 1990 UNLV team that destroyed Duke in the national championship 103-73. That team had Hunt, Johnson, etc.

THAT team I think could hang with a bad NBA team for a while. They'd still get beat, probably by double digits but could hang with them for longer than any other team mentioned on this thread.

as sometimes comes up with Q's like this, one wonders how the best college teams would fare if the players were that much more likely to stay all 4 years (and not get drafted out of high-school or at 19 or whatever).

I would think that some of the top teams WITH a Lebron or a Kobe (or Durant or Oden in a couple yrs) as a junior or a senior would have a chance of hanging in there.
The weaker starters and bench would be a huge issue of course. Far more extreme than Kobe trying to lead the rest of the below-average Lakers.
