The College Basketball Team No One Would Beat

When looking at the college basketball landscape right now, there isn't one team that you can look at and say they are head and shoulders above everybody else in the country. But, let's suppose we take the best players in the nation and have them play together? Sounds like a fun idea, right? In a sense, they'd be the Monstars of college basketball.

Ever dreamed of a college team that was literally unbeatable? Well, here you go.

Starters:

PG - Kris Dunn, Providence - Dunn is one of the best all-around guards in the country. Everyone knows he's a natural-born scorer, but he's no one-trick pony. He distributes the basketball at a high rate as well, averaging 6.6 dimes per game. Dunn possesses all of the physical tools and has improved his outside shot.

SG - Buddy Hield, Oklahoma - Hield is currently the favorite to take home Player of the Year honors and that should come as no surprise. He's one of the most lethal snipers in college basketball and he's very efficient from the field and behind the arc. When the Sooners need a big play, he's always there when it matters most.

SF - Denzel Valentine, Michigan State - Valentine is a guy who doesn't receive nearly as much credit as he deserves. He falls just short of a triple-double on a regular basis. Valentine is the type of player who can fill whatever role you need him to fill. Every team needs a guy like that.

PF - Brice Johnson, North Carolina - Johnson is one of the most well-rounded post players in the nation. What he lacks in frame, he makes up for in heart and determination. He is a terrific rebounder and is willing to fight for those loose balls. His athletic ability goes a long way as well.

C - Jakob Poeltl, Utah - Who said the traditional big man was extinct? Well, they obviously haven't met Mr. Poeltl. Playing for Utah, he often gets overlooked, but don't make the mistake of sleeping on him. The 7-footer can make a lot of things happen down on the block and he converts his attempts at an exceptionally high rate.

Bench:

G Melo Trimble, Maryland - Trimble has struggled at times this season, but is still a top-tier point guard. He excels as a floor general who loves to get his teammates involved. In the process of that, however, he doesn't shy away from getting his own either. Trimble is also a fantastic leader, even as such a young age.

G Tyler Ulis, Kentucky - College basketball "experts" have doubted and underestimated Ulis simply because of his size, but he has given us nothing to make us believe that he is anything other than a future pro. I'm sure many of them are jumping on the bandwagon now. Ulis is fearless and never backs down from a challenge. He has a beautiful jumpshot as well.

G Grayson Allen, Duke - Allen is one of the most difficult players to guard one-on-one in the country. He is a bonafide scorer. He can beat you in so many different ways and you likely don't even see it coming. But he's versatile as a guard, possessing the ability to play either position. Allen is also surprisingly crafty with the ball in his hands.

G Malcolm Brogdon, Virginia - Here's where the team's defensive identity will start and end. Brogdon is arguably the best perimeter defensive player in the country. But he doesn't just get the job done on defense. He can make opposing defenders pay on the offensive end of the floor too. He's just a complete basketball player.

F Ben Simmons, LSU - In terms of talent, Simmons may very well be the best player on this team. However, he needs some time to grow into that starter's role, so he'll come off the bench for now. Outside of the turnovers and his free-throw shooting, there aren't too many flaws in this kid's game.

F Georges Niang, Iowa State - Niang is one of the most versatile offensive players in college basketball. He tends to fly under the rader, which seems to be perfectly fine for him. Niang can score both inside and out, shooting an impressive percentage from beyond the arc.

F Domantas Sabonis, Gonzaga - I almost gave the last roster spot to Jarrod Uthoff from Iowa, but hear me out on this one. Sabonis is a physical player, just like his dad, Arvydas, and he's pretty damn good too. He could serve as somewhat of an enforcer for the team and just rack up double-doubles in the process.
