Would you rather build an NBA team from Duke or Kentucky players?

Like it or not, star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is the face of Duke basketball in the NBA, representing a contentious NCAA team that can cause fans of other teams at the college level to experience a bit of cognitive dissonance while rooting for a Blue Devil alum.

But if you had to build a team in today’s league, would you pick Duke players to build your team or alumni of the University of Kentucky? With names like Zion Williamson and Kyrie Irving on one side of the equation and players like Anthony Davis, Bam Adebayo, and Tyrese Maxey on the other side of things, the competition is actually pretty steep.

The host of the eponymous “Rich Eisen Show” recently debated this question and it caught our attention here as well.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say about the two programs and players in the league today.
