After all, there's nowhere for a projected No. 1 pick to go but down. If Wiggins had been selected first overall pick in the most recent draft, he would have become an immediate millionaire, gathering approximately $4.3 million in salary in 2013-14 with raises, qualifying offers and huge extensions guaranteed to come after in following years. Wiggins is a top-tier example of how the “one-and-done” rule is unfair to players who are not only physically ready to compete in the NBA, but who have nothing to gain and everything to lose by undertaking the risk of attending college.

Entering the 2009 NBA draft, Steph was the NCAA(college basketball) scoring leader and the first team All-American.

And every team on the list besides Georgetown won their regular season conference championship, so all of these teams are very similar in overall resumes. Looking at their superficial resumes was not enough to properly compare these teams due to the fact that they all come from such different time periods. The style of play and amount of elite competition played a large role in how much success each of these particular teams had. I pondered whether or not to make this paper about the most dominant team in college basketball history, but then that would be UCLA unanimously because they played against the least amount of elite teams.
