Arizona sophomore Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is in Las Vegas for the LeBron James Skills Academy and he fired an indirect shot toward college basketball when talking to ESPN's Jeff Goodman. Hollis-Jefferson told him, "We have the best starting five in the country." Oh? Let's compare: ARIZONA C- Kaleb Tarczewski (Jr.) F- Brandon Ashley (Jr.) F- Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (So.) G- Stanley Johnson (Fr.) G- T.J. McConnell (RS Sr.) A solid five, yes, but... KENTUCKY C- Dakari Johnson/Willie Cauley-Stein/Karl Towns F- Karl Towns/Willie Cauley-Stein/Trey Lyles F- Alex Poythress (Jr.) G- Aaron Harrison (So.) G- Andrew Harrison (So.) And the depth of the two teams isn't even up for discussion. Agree to disagree.
