Based on what evidence? Beating a bunch of guys right out of high school last night who have had virtually no coaching or practice time? And it's not like we're not talking about the second coming of LeBron James with any of those Duke guys either.
The NCAA level is a joke in comparison to the NBA and anybody who watches both levels somewhat regularly should be able to recognize that.
I've actually watched both the Mavericks and the Cavs (arguably the worst teams in the NBA in 2018-2019) in person this year and both have enough very solid pros who would absolutely kick the shit out of a bunch of college players.

Absolutely agree with all of this.
I hate when people say “well Duke has 7 (or whatever number) NBA players.”
Uhhh...the worst NBA team has 15 NBA players. All sorts of star college players become role players or worse in the NBA. Only the exceptional talents (maybe 2-3 per draft) become stars. Some drafts have even fewer than that.
The worst NBA teams are basically college/international All Star teams with years of development under the best training and coaching that the world has to offer. Additionally, they are full time players. This is their career.
