How good a job did Mark Pope do this year? Kentucky is the only team to make the Sweet 16 in the last 20 years with zero (0) returning points from the season prior, per CBS Sports' research.
Not just that, but UK got a 3-seed and didn't have two of its point guards in the process.

Very concerned about the Knicks’ lack of depth against true contenders.
OKC down 2 of their top 6, still get contributions from the “others.”
Yes, Deuce is out, but Knicks are so reliant on 35-40 great minutes from the starting 5, it’s unsustainable for a full season/playoffs.
