UH would actually beat this current constructed team as this team actually should be in college still also

They would get ridiculously frustrated with the physicality and defense of UH. and the fact that the rockets stink defensively, they wouldn't last vs this UH team

There hasn't been many examples of an nba team being as young or just as young as a college team. The rockets just happen to be one of them

usually this would be true but not in this case. there's nothing about this rockets team outside of the sheer name that makes it a different level. These are kids who shouldn't even be in the nba and their best prospects should/ can be still in college. Rockets winning by 20 is laughable.

Kelvin Sampson would absolutely have UH ready to compete. and expose the long list of flaws that are common sense

I don't think a NCAA team can win one game in a 82 game season in the NBA

Simple question - the worst team in the NBA (Rockets) vs one of the best teams in college basketball (UH Cougars).

I am going with the Cougars in a close one.

Boban would drop 50 and the Coogs would lose by 20

I'm seriously impressed at the lack of basic understanding of this sport here lol.

50% of the Cougs roster isn't Gleague material.any of these players aren't even going to be playing pro ball at any level after this.

If they played with a 21 foot 3 point line maybe Jabari Smith could hit one.

like i said if you truly followed you would know post play has never killed UH. They get taken out of the game and exposed in actions cause they have trouble defending. He isn't even a perimeter threat which makes it even worse for him. Green's quickness is supposedly winning a game? nah that's not how it works. His inefficiency and being 1 dimensional on one side of the ball isn't enough for UH not to expose

quickness lol. This is like the westbrick is so fast logic when CF's tried to tell everyone he was an upgrade to cp3. Well we know how that turned out.

your projections are based all on what the rockets are hoping to be in a best case scenario. This current rockets team isn't anywhere near that. The rockets are an example of what a college team would look like in the nba, why? because that's exactly what they are. a collection of 19/20 year olds

Do you understand you are seeing these players against their peers. So yes they will look strong. They will look quick. They will look competent. But against their peers many of whom aren't even Gleague level players.

Out of 20 times how many times can UH beat a healthy Bucks squad with Giannis?

That's an upgrade from half the roster not even belonging in the gleague or NBA on a D1 team even one that is top ranked.

Nix would be a top 4 players on the UH squad.

If any college team played the celtics for example, the spread would be what? 50? 60? Rockets would be at least 30ish point favorites

Nobody here would in their right mind think that UH would beat the Bucks or hell, any other competent NBA team, which the Rockets are sadly not. Therefore this is a relevant question, I believe - no doubt about it.

Coogs monster trap vs Rockets turnovers/horrible shooting.

As long as it wouldn't affect draft position, the Rockets, easily.

KPJ and Green are too big for Sasser/Shead
KJ and Tari too physical for Tramon Mark
As for bigs, Walker and Francis might hold their own defensively but Roberts and Chaney would be BBQ chicken for Alpi.

Easy win for the Rockets even with the Silas Tax

Sasser? Is that the son of former college player Sasser?

I cast my vote for the Cougars out of complete disgust in the organization. Putrid, horrible, pathetic, garbage. Fire Silas 2 years ago and now I am completely on the fire Stone train.

Whichever team isn't coached by Silas wins.

The worst NBA team would run the best college team off the floor every single time, no exceptions.

Then how can the Rockets beat them?

It absolutely isn't a relevant question and these takes make me feel so much better and more confident in my opinions here when I feel like I'm being gaslit by so many horrible takes on this board this past few months.
