Does Tyus make it in your, I’ll give it 9, man rotation? I’m not Boeheim, you get 9.
Can format the 9 based on the players you know and how you’d think they’d work after watching them.Tough to do based on his body of work, assuming we're working with the normal number of positions (two starting guards, two forwards, a center, and a reserve for each position). Tyus could theoretically play the 2 or the 3, but I'd probably already be all set with guards (Flynn/Scoop/Waiters) and small forwards (a wealth of guys at this position, with Anthony the obvious starter and Wes Johnson behind him). And guys like Devendorf and Gbinije would come before Tyus as well.
So...no. Can't see a way to make it happen.
Though it would've been cool to watch Battle play on a good up-tempo team and watch him take defenders one-on-one in transition.

I agree, it would have been interesting to see Tyus on a more dynamic team with some players like Flynn or K Jo who penetrated and demanded the defense’s attention.
I guess I’d put..
Flynn, MCW
Waiters, Devo
Melo, Wes
Hak, Grant
rak
Very hard keeping G, Rick, AO, Rautins, Nichols, Battle and even Mali out.
Maybe, just feel like Grant was a huge momentum building guy with his outrageous putback slams. Devo and Johnny see one of those and it turns into run and gun beat them by 40 time.I like your roster. I maybe swap in Rick Jackson for Grant?
I love Tyus but there are almost 10 guards I would rather have (your rotation calls for only 3), in no particular order. *If Tyus could have ever gotten his 3pt shot over 35%, then he would have catapulted half of this group.
Rautins, Waiters, Flynn, Devo, GMAC, MCW, Ennis, Silent G, Scoop, Edelin (the year he was eligible and in shape)
Umm, are you too young to remember GMAC taking Terrance Roberts, Watkins, MCroskey crew to Big East Titles? He played on a busted wheel most of 2 years because there was literally nobody else.I see what you’re saying. Of this list I feel like only Waiters, Flynn, Devo, G and maybe senior Andy could’ve done a better job than Tyus with the pieces available.

I mean, we have a tee shirt made up for those teams “not 10 f’n games”
To be honest my eyes glanced over g mac’s name on the list.Umm, are you too young to remember GMAC taking Terrance Roberts, Watkins, MCroskey crew to Big East Titles? He played on a busted wheel most of 2 years because there was literally nobody else.

Uh, no.
RickJack, much like AO, was a very solid, but not spectacular player for us.
They both get a lot of love (and deservedly so, as part of one of our very best TEAMs EVER), but neither was an elite college player.
Its close. To me it really comes down to who you would rather have as a second "bulldog" behind Waiters.
I think my roster would consist of:
Anthony
McNamara
Warrick
Wes J
Dion
MCW
Flynn
Grant
Either Devo, Triche, Silent G or Battle for that last spot.
His senior year he was Big East DPOY, 2nd Team All Conference and AP Honorable Mention All American.
Not saying he was Shaq, but he was a really good player.
You all realize AO's FG% was amazing his senior year correct? oh and on the best SU team ever...Its close. To me it really comes down to who you would rather have as a second "bulldog" behind Waiters.

I agree with most of your list, although I'd be down to Devo or Silent G -
depending on whether you valued scoring & swag (Devo), or a do-it-all Swiss Army kinda guy (Silent G).
I could also see swapping in either CJ Fair or Lydon for Grant, if you wanted an elite glue-guy/garbage man & midrange guy (Fair), or some 3pt shooting and shot blocking (Lydon), from a guy who could also play some 5.
Speaking of the 5 - you don't have a center.
You could add Rak Christmas (Sr. version) or Fab (Soph).
Am I not remembering history correctly or is Nichols not regarded as well as he should be? He wasn’t Hak or Wes but I remember his senior year being very good.
