I was surprised by those choices, especially when one considers how Coach K had zero experience coaching guys like LeBron, Durant, and others.
How K was able to sell elite high school wings on coming to Duke is beyond me, particularly when one considers that K only coached Hill, Deng, Maggette, Parker, Winslow, and Tatum at the small forward position. Plus, Duke is only a top 30 academic institution with only a few guys like Reggie Love tied to the highest political machines in the nation.
Can you imagine if K had coached those dream teams and added all of the aforementioned stuff to the Team USA connection? Wow.
Memphis is a lot like Duke when it comes to that whole package, except that Penny actually has a real history of coaching elite talent.
That last point kind of puts Memphis at an advantage over Duke in the comparison, which makes me nervous about landing Wiseman.
