NEW YORK (AP) -- Stan Van Gundy says the notion that Kentucky could beat an NBA team is "absurd."
The Orlando Magic coach was asked about comments by former Maryland coach Gary Williams, who told a Washington radio station that he thought the Wildcats could beat the NBA's Wizards in one game at Rupp Arena.
The Wildcats, the favorites to win the NCAA championship next week, have multiple players who are expected to be NBA lottery picks. Forward Anthony Davis could be the No. 1 overall pick if he enters the draft.
That's not enough for Van Gundy.
He says Wednesday: "I mean, people will say, `Oh, Kentucky, you know's, got four NBA players.' Yeah, well the other team's got 13."
