Now that FSU basketball has moved into the AP top-10, it’s a good time to start looking at whether the Seminoles fit the statistical profile of potential champions.
For now, we’ll look at those 10 teams, and once ACC play begins we’ll take a look at conference rosters. Blue chips are defined a consensus 4* or 5* recruit per 247Sports composite rankings. The ‘Mock Draft’ column lists the number of players currently appearing in the 2019 NBA Mock Draft at ESPN.
Blue Chips 2018-19
| Rank | Team | Blue Chips | 5* | 4* | NBA Mock |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kansas | 12 | 2 | 10 | 3 |
| 2 | Duke | 8 | 5 | 3 | 3 |
| 3 | Tennessee | 2 | 0 | 2 | 1 |
| 4 | Gonzaga | 4 | 0 | 4 | 3 |
| 5 | Michigan | 7 | 0 | 7 | 1 |
| 6 | Virginia | 7 | 0 | 7 | 2 |
| 7 | Nevada | 3 | 1 | 2 | |
| 8 | Auburn | 5 | 0 | 5 | |
| 9 | Michigan St | 8 | 1 | 7 | |
| 10 | FSU | 3 | 0 | 3 |
The nine teams not FSU average six blue chip players each.
Tennessee and FSU are the clear outliers.
The good news is that Florida State is in the nation’s top-10 despite having a statistical talent profile which is a bit underwhelming. The bad news is that there isn’t much precedent for such a roster to make the Final Four.
