    How would this Longhorn only team fare in the NBA?

    What kind of record would this team made of only Texas Longhorns have? They would definitely lack size and depth. Starting 5 would be a force to be reckoned with though. A lot of youth that could possibly develop into solid role players. Am I missing anyone? Current players.

    Starters:

    G - D.J. Augustin
    G - Daniel Gibson
    F - Kevin Durant
    F - Tristan Thompson
    F - LaMarcus Aldridge

    Bench:

    Corey Joseph
    T.J. Ford
    Jordan Hamilton
    Damien James
    Maurice Evans
    Royal Ivey
    Dexter Pittman

    Strange to think that Aldridge and Durant could have possibly been on the same team had Portland not taken Oden. Although I doubt they draft as high the next year if they took Durant over Oden.

    Portland has always had these drafts that make you think that they're going to become a dynasty but it never pans out for them for some reason.

    That team would be average because of Durant and Aldridge. None of the other players are that good.

    A top 3 team in either conference probably with a better bench.

    Tristan is too young and picks up 3-4 fouls per 12 min of ball. Durant and Aldridge are solid but their guards are subpar with no defense being played by that team. Their bench is putrid

    I think Augustin would be solid for them. The bench would kill them night in and night out though.

    Apart from the bench, they have no size. Aldridge plays outside
