It's close between these two and TSJ. TSJ had the handles and could go coast to coast with insane body control. Kenny's above the rim, high-energy, acrobatic slam dunks and explosive athleticism. Nick attacked the basket aggressively and rebounded like crazy for his size. Could also throw in...
Devries had Wilkerson. He had a scorer but did nothing to help him out. He built a !!!!!! roster much like Woodson. Lot of talent and names but poor fit. It has nothing to do with Iowa having more talent than Indiana or having Stirtz. My point is Devries didn't build a good roster, didn't coach...
