It's been a good few weeks for those who doubt the wisdom of relying upon one-and-done talent. Duke and, especially, Kentucky have looked mediocre at best and hapless at worst early in the season, posting a combined 3-6 record.
The Wildcats began the season starting four freshmen before switching to three first-year starters. And while Duke has been somewhat less reliant upon freshmen than UK this season, statistically speaking, that hasn't prevented commentators from attributing the Blue Devils' 2-2 record to an excess of youth.
Naturally, older players in college basketball are, as a population, better than younger players.
