The Method First off, this exercise only looks at players drafted to the NBA starting from the beginning of the John Calipari era at Kentucky starting with the Draft.
I believe looking at this from a modern standpoint is the most effective way to judge just how true this narrative against Kentucky currently is. Besides, Calipari has been very open on how his primary goal is getting his players ready to succeed at the next level. To truly see how successful Wildcats are in the pros, they need to be compared to other schools. For clarity, Kentucky has had 38! Next, I threw team success at the next level wins, championships out of the equation in favor of advanced metrics.
Put another way, who is the better NBA player? Karl Anthony-Towns or Harrison Barnes? Towns is putting up insane numbers in the pros and is the main reason why his team wins games even with the Timberwolves being a terrible franchise. Barnes has never been anything more than an above-average role player who lucked up and was on the franchise of the decade in the Golden State Warriors. Instead, the better player should be the guy who advanced metrics prove is the most valuable to accumulating team success i.
If these measurements are still hard to understand, here are some examples. Basketball Reference. LeBron James ranks in the top 4 in all three categories. So, yes, these three advanced metrics are pretty darn good at evaluating success in the NBA. I firmly believe going by averages is the most fair way to do this.
Doing so considers every single bust, all-star, and role player each school has provided the NBA. Not only does Kentucky produce better NBA players on average when compared to the other major Blue Bloods of the sport, but there is a considerable gap between the Wildcats and everyone else. Remember, this is the overall average from all players drafted. But that only tells half of the story for both programs which is why averages matter so much in this exercise.
Anyways, I think the most important thing I found is that while UK leads by a very wide margin since , the Blue Devils have been gaining considerable ground.
