Missouri has three future NBA lottery picks on their team so yes I do think they have more talent. However I don't think they will have as good a team this year as we will.
Three? In addition to Michael Porter Jr, who are the other 2 Missouri players that you are projecting will be a top-10-ish pick in the 2018/19 NBA drafts? Saying somebody is a future NBA lottery pick is quite a compliment. It is extremely damn hard to even be a first round NBA draft pick (not to mention a
lottery pick), so projecting that Missouri currently has 3 guys of that level seems a bit crazy.
Here is the latest 2018 Mock Draft from Draft Express (as of August). They had Porter Jr. (Missouri) at #1 and Robert Williams (Texas A&M) at #5. No other Missouri or Texas A&M players projected as a first round draft pick.

I just don't see it. No way I personally would trade the Aggie roster for Mizzou, not even with the Porter brothers on it.
