I don't think we can assume that he'd be tearing apart the league -- because i don't think he would.
I still don't think Duke is the best team in the country. Duke hasn't looked good to me, so far. Not like the #1 team anyway -- and I find more negatives in that win over VT than positives. Give me the team that, without their starting PG, won a tournament, the Maui Invitational, that consisted of teams like Michigan State, Arizona, Kansas, Maryland, and Gonzaga.

No you judge a player against his current competition. Who cares how good JJ will be in the NBA? Right now he's the best player in college.
Grant Hill - STAR
Correy Magette - STAR
Elton Brand - STAR
Carlos Boozer - STAR
Mike Dunleavy - Contributer
Chris Duhon - Contributer
Luol Deng - Contributer
Just off the top of my head thats pretty good for just recent players. How many player from your college team are stars or even contributers to NBA teams?
