Question

Who would win? a really good division I college team or a nbdl team?

Answer 1

good question.

so nbdl team has old middle of the road college players and players who have no shot at the nba.

university of north carolina for instance is loaded by college  standards with psycho t, lawson, ellington, green, etc and has a deep bench..

i think if they played with the college rules on a unc home court or against  kansas at kansas or against duke at duke duke a college team could upset one of the less talanted nbdl teams. but nbdl players are playing as their jobs, not going to classes. so i would go with nbdl team would win 7 out of 10 times

Answer 2

If it was a team like the 2005 NCAA champions Illinois then no. but another regular team yes. Go Illinois,unc sucks!

Answer 3

The NBDL team. Those players all have super talent and are mostly just not ready for the NBA. But they are a step up from even the best college teams.

Answer 4

This is a pretty hard question to answer.  It would depend very much on which College team is playing.  I would say most of the high profile teams and especially the final 4 teams would give the Dleague teams a run for their money and often beat them.  We have to remember that a team like Memphis, UNC, Kansas their best players are going to be in  the NBA not the development league maybe some of the role players on these great college teams will be in the Dleague.  I also think it depends on where they play you give the college team homecourt and they have a huge advantage.  I think that the team chemistry of a college team is much greater than the dleague who are probably a bunch of stars from midmajors who want to prove themselves as opposed to having a common goal and team unity that the college team must have to be great.

Answer 5

Its closer then people really think. A team like the Florida Gators from a few years back with Noah, Horford, Humpfries, Green who all made the nba and only Humpfries isnt in it now could definitly put up a good fight same with the jay hawks of this year I think those teams could beat a nbdl team.

However the NBDL is college stars that wherent good enough to make the nba or needed development in there size strength or they need to work on some of there skills handles, shoot and others. Therefore nearly all nbdl teams could beat college teams but therre are some that are some very few teams that could beat a nbdl team.

Answer 6

it would be close but the only reason i would give the advantsge to the nbdl is because of experience and more knowledge of the game, but the division 1 team could also win because the team will be young and quick a phoenix suns college type team that could possibly tire down the nbdl squad and come out with the win

Answer 7

If its a really good college team they would win.

The EA sports exhimbition team (not sure if they're still around) was made up of guys who would only be able to be in the DL or ABA  and they would play college teams and lose lots of games

Answer 8

Well the college team should have more team chemistry. Depends how good the college team is, & how good the nbdl team is. If they are both good teams it would be close. It would also be interesting to see some of the nbdl players playing against some really good future nba draft picks. I'm sure they'd love to show them up lol.
