I was listening to the Ringer's CBB Podcast on my way into work this morning and heard an interesting statistic.
Syracuse (2003) is last team to win a national title without an NBA Guard or a top 30 defense on KenPom. Thus, every single National Championship team in the last 15 years has had a guard play in the NBA and had a top 30 defense on KenPom (assuming Josh Hart or Jalen Brunson from Nova get a shot in the NBA after they graduate).
Leveraging KenPom and Draft Express (best mock draft site because it's accurate and provides 2 years of boards), there are only 10 teams this year that meet the requirement.
They are:
Louisville, Cincinnati, Kentucky, Villanova, Miami, UNC, SMU, Kansas, Florida State and Arizona (Duke is 36).
