About Me

I grew up in Durham, North Carolina. I did something when I was 22 that changed the game: I moved to New York City. I live, breathe and bleed DUKE University, namely DUKE basketball. Krzyzewski is an added word to my spell-check dictionary as I use it nearly everyday. I met my Boston-born wife, Ariana, a DUKE grad, in NYC, during grad school, when we both worked at a restaurant together... named Duke's (zero relation). My first name is Sarah - with an "h", my middle name is my Grandmother’s maiden name and my last name (apparently) means Goose of the Forest.

College to Pro… A Comparison Of The Blue (and red and yellow and orange) Bloods of College Basketball As It Translates To The NBA

There are arguably (arguably) 10 teams as of recent that have had significant impact in NCAA men’s basketball as well as have a significant current showing on NBA rosters.  Those teams are (in alphabetical order):
Arizona : 1997 National Champions; 4 Final Four appearances; 2013 AP Preseason Ranking: # 6; 10 players currently on NBA rosters
Connecticut : 1999, 2004, 2011 National Champions; 4 Final Four appearances; 2013 AP Preseason Ranking: # 18; 12 players currently on NBA rosters
DUKE : 1991, 1992, 2001, 2010 National Champions; 15 Final Four appearances; 2013 AP Preseason Ranking: # 4; 15 players currently on NBA rosters
Florida : 2006 and 2007 National Champions; 4 Final Four appearances; 2013 AP Preseason Ranking: # 10; 12 players currently on NBA rosters
Kansas : 1952, 1988, 2008 National Champions; 14 Final Four appearances; 2013 AP Preseason Ranking: # 5; 14 players currently on NBA rosters
Kentucky : 1948, 1949, 1951, 1958, 1978, 1996, 1998, 2012 National Champions; 15 Final Four appearances; 2013 AP Preseason Ranking: # 1; 22 players currently on NBA rosters
Syracuse : 2003 National Champions; 5 Final Four appearances; 2013 AP Preseason Ranking: # 8; 6 players currently on NBA rosters
Texas : 3 Final Four appearances; 2013 AP Preseason Ranking: unranked; 8 players currently on NBA rosters
UCLA : 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1995 National Champions; 17 Final Four appearances; 2013 AP Preseason Ranking: # 22; 12 players currently on NBA rosters
UNC : 1957, 1982, 1993, 2005, 2009 National Champions; 18 Final Four Appearances; 2013 AP Preseason Ranking: # 12; 15 players currently on NBA rosters
A couple of caveats:  
There are a handful of other teams that have had a significant impact in NCAA men’s basketball, particularly as of late… teams like Georgetown, Indiana, Louisville, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State (to name a few).  These teams, however, do not have a strong enough showing on current NBA rosters to warrant being a part of the comparison.  For example, Michigan State.  The Spartans won it all in 1979 and 2000 and have been to 8 Final Fours (6 since 1999).  That’s a serious showing at the college level.  But, total number of players on current NBA rosters that played their college ball at Michigan State?  Only 4 players.  Same thing with Indiana.  They have 5 National Championships and been to 8 Final Fours.  But currently on NBA rosters?  Just 4- and 2 of them are just starting their rookie campaigns (and therefore have no stats yet to compare).  Ohio State- 1 National Title and 10 Final Fours… but NBA players?  Currently just 6.  Louisville- 3 National Titles (including the most recent NCAA Tournament Championship) and 10 Final Fours.  Yet only 5 players on current NBA rosters (2 of whom were drafted just this past summer and therefore have no stats yet to compare).  Michigan?  1989 National Champions, 5 trips to the Final Four.  On current NBA rosters?  6 players- 2 of whom are rookies (and therefore have no stats yet to compare).  And lastly, Georgetown.  They won it all in 1984 and have also been to 5 Final Fours but their showing in the NBA right now isn’t significant enough to compare.  They have 6 players on rosters and 1 of those 6 just entered the league (and therefore has no stats yet to compare).  
For purposes of this study, teams needed to have 8 or more players on NBA rosters (that have played prior to this season) to compare.  I used one team in this study that has less than this number to show what happens when a team with a significantly smaller showing gets thrown into the mix: Syracuse.  Full disclosure, a part of me wanted to include Syracuse in this because of the number of Syracuse people I have in my everyday life that make the argument that they are superior- either at the collegiate level, the NBA level or both.  But also, it came down to more than just this. I could have used one of the other teams just mentioned, like Ohio State since their 6 players on NBA rosters just missed the cut-off.  But, I chose Syracuse.  Why?  In all seriousness: Carmelo Anthony.  While he is only one player, I knew that for what we are comparing here, using his stats would at least allow Syracuse to be in the conversation with the other teams.  Plus, he’s Carmelo Anthony.  What he did at the collegiate level and what he is doing at the NBA level… I think he’s earned it.   (Syracuse will appear in italics in each category just as a reminder that their sample size is too small to actually weigh- they have 6 total NBA players but only 3 that have played prior to this season.)
The other team that I could see causing a stir is Texas.  Texas is a tricky one and initially, I didn’t even give a second thought about having not included them.  They have zero National Championships, they have the least Final Fours of any team on the list, they haven’t done much in the past few years at the collegiate level and they aren’t even ranked in the AP Poll to start this season.  But, somehow, they are always still just… there.  They have only missed the NCAA Tournament twice since they became regulars at the dance in 1989.  Twice.  UNC has missed it more times in that span.  So, I had to give them a second look.  And when I did, I found that what they have put up in college is somewhat less impressive than the other 9 teams (someone does have to be the least impressive, though) but they aren’t lacking in terms of what they are putting on current NBA rosters.  So, they made the list.  Kevin Durant went to Texas… they made the list.  And not for nothing, you may be surprised at how well their 8 players hold up against the teams who have a much more significant showing on rosters.  Significant in terms of quantity, that is.  
Final head’s up: I also included one additional category for comparison.  PLAYERS WHO DID NOT ATTEND COLLEGE.  This is, of course, a collection of every player currently active on an NBA roster that did not go to college but instead went straight to the NBA (USA players only).  They will appear in every comparison at the end, just for the purpose of seeing how they match-up.  They are not filed into where they would fall had I ranked them against the 10 colleges but only as a final thought.   
So, with that, let’s take a look at how it all shakes out.  
First, a recap on the number of players on rosters by team (this includes all players on current rosters, even rookies):
Total Players in NBA:

1. Kentucky (22)
2. DUKE (15)
    UNC (15)
3. Kansas (14)
4. Florida (12)
    UCLA (12)
    UConn (12)
5. Arizona (10)
6. Texas (8)
7. Syracuse (6)*
Players who did not attend college (26)

And now, the averages:
Rankings by: AVERAGES

Average PPG

1. Syracuse (15.8)
2. UConn (10.95)
3. Arizona (10.82)
4. Texas (10.7)
5. DUKE (10.49)
6. UCLA (10.41)
7. UNC (10.4)
8. Florida (10.145)
9. Kentucky (7.905)
10. Kansas (7.75)
Players who did not attend college (13.36)

These are all fairly similar with a significant drop coming after Florida.  Kentucky and Kansas players are not even averaging double figures.  Syracuse, of course, has the highest points per game average but that’s hardly surprising considering that Carmelo is driving that boat with a career average of 25 points per game.  The “true” collegiate points per game leader in the NBA is: UConn.  


Average RPG

1. Florida (5.636)
2. UNC (4.55)
3. UConn (4.39)
4. DUKE (4.36)
5. UCLA (4.26)
6. Texas (4.24)
7. Kentucky (3.98)
8. Syracuse (3.867)
9. Arizona (3.856)
10. Kansas (3.48)
Players who did not attend college (5.75)

Nothing incredibly shocking here in terms of the gap between first and last.  With players like Joakim Noah, David Lee and Udonis Haslem, it’s not surprising to see Florida as the leader in rebounds per game.  Kansas, who comes in last here, may at first glance be surprising considering they have Cole Aldrich and Jeff Withey but Aldrich has averaged just under 8 minutes per game in his NBA career and Withey has yet to accumulate any stats as this is his rookie season. 


Average APG

1. UCLA (3.08)
2.  Syracuse (2.43)
3. Arizona (2.356)
4. UConn (2.04)
5. Kentucky (1.995)
6. DUKE (1.969)
7. UNC (1.878)
8. Florida (1.855)
9. Texas (1.825)
10. Kansas (1.625)
Players who did not attend college (2.256)

Assists per game:  Not at all surprising that the college program that boasts the likes of Darren Collison, Jrue Holiday and Russell Westbrook takes this category.  Not at all.  



Average FG%

1. Florida (.479)
2. UNC (.4667)
3. UConn (.455)
4. UCLA (.4528)
5. Kentucky (.449)
6. Texas (.448)
7. Arizona (.4476)
8. Kansas (.44)
9. DUKE (.4398)
10. Syracuse (.423)
Players who did not attend college (.476)

The difference between first and last here: 0.056 (0.0392 if you remove Syracuse).  No one can really take significant bragging rights here but if I were Florida, I would make it known that my school’s former players are shooting a better average field goal percentage than those who didn’t go to college.  (You’re not going to trump the likes of LeBron, Kobe, Garnett, etc. often so take it where you can get it… no matter how small the difference.)


Average SPG

1. UCLA (.918)
2. Syracuse (.9)
3. UConn (.8167)
4. Arizona (.74)
    Kentucky (.74)
5. UNC (.72)
6. Kansas (.7167)
7. Florida (.7)
8. Texas (.69)
9. DUKE (.685)
Players who did not attend college (.87)

The same caliber of players who accumulate a lot of assists usually put up decent numbers in terms of steals as well.  That said, there’s UCLA again.  


Average BPG

1. UConn (.6)
2. UNC (.557)
3. Florida (.518)
4. Kentucky (.505)
5. DUKE (.49)
6. Texas (.45)
7. Syracuse (.423)
8. Kansas (.408)
9. Arizona (.356)
10. UCLA (.309)
Players who did not attend college (.87)

With players like Andre Drummond, Emeka Okafor, Hasheem Thabeet (UConn) and Brendan Haywood, John Henson, Brandan Wright and Tyler Zeller (UNC), UConn and UNC are #1 and #2 and I think that surprises few.  (UCLA doesn’t have one player with a career bpg average over .5, hence their collective average here).  


Average Salary

1. UConn ($6,294,233)
2. UCLA ($5,738,080)
3. Arizona ($5,669,253)
4. Texas ($5,465,769)
5. Florida ($5,072,786)
6. Syracuse ($4,883,294)
7. DUKE ($4,531,061)
8. UNC ($3,560,064)
9. Kentucky ($3,556,383)
10. Kansas ($3,339,920)
Players who did not attend college ($8,674,469)

And now, what really matters.  Well, at least what matters a LOT.  When 17 year old kids sit down with dozens of schools to choose from, knowing what the NBA salary averages are for each school matters.  Of course, any logical person knows that just because these 20 players make this much money and wore this school’s jersey does not mean it is a given for any future player, still- hearing “players from our school make this much money…” it matters.  So, go to UConn.  The difference between $6 million and $3 million… that’s significant.  Of course, there are a host of issues that get raised with this: look at Kentucky.  They have 22 players in the NBA right now and of these 10 schools, their players are averaging the 9th best.  Why?  Well, rookie contracts for one.  Whereas UConn has five players making $8 million or more, Kentucky has just one (Rajon Rondo).  But, that will change.  Anthony Davis won’t stay making a little over $5 million for too much longer… expect that number to rise.  But, then again, you could make this argument for any team:  Kyrie Irving makes less than $6 million… for now.  Just wait until these last two years on his contract are up.  I would imagine Bradley Beal’s salary will increase in 3 years.  And so on and so forth.  Not at all surprising to see the PLAYERS WHO DID NOT GO TO COLLEGE win out here.
So, those are the averages.  If there is a “winner” here, I’d have to say it is UConn.  They come in no lower than 4th in any given category.  Their players have the highest PPG average (excluding Syracuse’s 3 players), highest APG average, highest BPG average and their players average the most money (by over a half million dollars to the 2nd place team, UCLA).  
If there is a “loser” here (and we have to exclude Syracuse for this as well), it would have to be Kansas.  Kansas does not come in higher than 6th in any given category of averages.  They come in last in average PPG, RPG, APG, and salary. Now, they do have 14 players in the league but I’m not sure if pointing that out is in their defense or not.  I guess they get to the league and then… I’m not sure.  To come in last in points, rebounds, assists and salary… there isn’t much there to stand on.  Scoring, rebounding, assisting and making money… if you aren’t doing those, I’m not sure what you’re doing as an NBA player.  Cheers, Andrew Wiggins. 
Another way to look at this (using the same categories and two additional categories) is by way of totals.  Which fan base gets to say that they are collectively contributing the most to the league per night?  Let’s see:
Rankings by: TOTALS

Total PPG

1. Kentucky (158.1)
2. UNC (145.7)
3. DUKE (136.4)
4. UConn (131.4)
5. UCLA (114.5)
6. Florida (111.6)
7. Arizona (97.4)
8. Kansas (93)
9. Texas (85.6)
10. Syracuse (47.4)
Players who did not attend college (374.4)

Let me just say: this will be a recurring theme.  The PLAYERS WHO DID NOT ATTEND COLLEGE are always going to put up monstrous totals because a) they have 26 players on NBA rosters and b) their players include players like LeBron, Kobe, Garnett, Bynum, Chandler, Howard, Amar’e, etc.  For college teams- Kentucky is always going to be tops because they have 22 players in the league, 20 of whom played prior to this year.  And Syracuse will always come at the bottom… when you can only add 3 players’ numbers together; it isn’t going to beat many teams… even if you do have Carmelo.  But, it’s still worth seeing.  

Total RPG

1. Kentucky (79.6)
2. UNC (63.7)
3. Florida (62)
4. DUKE (56.7)
5. UConn (52.7)
6. UCLA (46.9)
7. Kansas (41.8)
8. Arizona (34.7)
9. Texas (33.9)
10. Syracuse (11.6)
Players who did not attend college (149.5)


Total APG

6. Arizona (21.2)
7. Florida (20.4)
8. Kansas (19.5)
9. Texas (14.6)

4. DUKE (8.9)
5. Kansas (8.6)
6. Florida (7.7)
7. Arizona (6.7)
8. Texas (5.5)
9. Syracuse (2.7)

Total BPG

1. Kentucky (10.1)
2. UNC (7.8)
3. UConn (7.2)
4. DUKE (6.4)
5. Florida (5.7)
6. Kansas (4.9)
7. Texas (3.6)
8. UCLA (3.4)
9. Arizona (3.2)
10. Syracuse (1.4)
Players who did not attend college (22.7)


On any given night, Kentucky fans can rest easy knowing that their former players have collectively added more to the stat sheets across the league than any other team in terms of points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. 

But, there are other totals to consider.  Not many people can rattle off how many points their team’s former players are scoring or how many steals they accumulated.  But, they can tell you how many awards their former players are responsible for.  

Total NBA Championships

1. Florida (8)
2. Kansas (3)
    Kentucky (3)
    UCLA (3)
    UConn (3)
3. DUKE (2)
4. Arizona (1)
    UNC (1)
5. Syracuse (0)
    Texas (0)
Players who did not attend college (14)

Florida is absolutely killing it here.  Florida players have at least 5 more NBA Championships than any of the other 9 teams (and Syracuse and Texas players are yet to get a ring.  But with Carmelo and Durant, I wouldn’t write it off forever.)  Five more than the second place team(s)… that’s a serious gap.  



Total All Star Selections

1. UConn (12)
2. Kansas (10)
    UNC (10)
3. DUKE (7)
4. Syracuse (6)
   Texas (6)
    UCLA (6)
5. Florida (5)
6. Kentucky (4)
7. Arizona (1)
Players who did not attend college (62)

Florida is running away with the NBA Championships but UConn is no slouch either.  While they are in 2nd for the NBA Championships, they have more players that have been selected as an All Star than any other team.  Kansas, after seeing their poor showing in the averages above, somehow comes in 2nd here.  But, then you look and see- the “somehow” is because they all belong to one player: Paul Pierce.  So, Pierce is holding it down… Kansas as a whole- not so much.  



Total Salary

1. Kentucky ($78,240,422)
2. UConn ($75,530,794))
3. UCLA ($68,856,959)
4. DUKE ($67,965,913)
5. Florida ($60,873,433)
6. Arizona ($56,692,528)
7. UNC ($53,400,963)
8. Kansas ($46,758,883)
9. Texas ($43,726,152)
10. Syracuse ($29,299,766)
Players who did not attend college ($225,536,187)

Kentucky has 10 more players on NBA rosters than UConn.  Yet, their total salary take for their 22 players is less than $3 million more than UConn’s 12 players.  Now, we discussed this earlier- rookie contracts and all that but the bottom line is- whether it is averages or numbers as a whole: UConn players get their money.  
Look at that difference between Kentucky’s 22 players and the 26 PLAYERS WHO DID NOT ATTEND COLLEGE.  A difference of $147,295,765.
That.  Is.  Insane.   
So, that’s it… how it all shakes out.  Just something to look at… every fan base can take something from this.  Even Kansas- sure they may have lost out in a lot of the categories but they still have 3 NCAA Championships, 3 NBA Championships and 14 players in the league making just under $50 million collectively.  That’s hardly a “loser” in any contest.  And honestly, if your team is on this study, you sleep well at night.  You know the players are bringing it at the college level and are going on to be studs at the professional level.  Your bases are covered.  
Finally, basketball may be a team sport, but there are still individual awards.  Using the criteria above, we know how the teams as a whole did… but which player from which team is above the rest?
