The ultimate what-if

2019-20: Eight NBA players. One roster.

Jayson Tatum as a senior. Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett as sophomores. Marvin Bagley III as a junior. Wendell Carter Jr. Cam Reddish. Gary Trent Jr. Harry Giles III. Plus the actual roster of Vernon Carey Jr., Tre Jones, and Cassius Stanley. A team that would have been favored against most NBA rosters.
