Your SU 5 player Street Pickup lineup

[Trueblue25]

shooting not really a priority?

Melo and Devo are each great shooters. Scoops fine too. Thinking of more of an unguardable approach

In street ball?

 

[Trueblue25]

Surprised 0 mentions of Battle

 

[RF2044]

Sherman Douglas
Stevie Thompson
CJ Fair
Billy Owens
DC

That frontcourt would dominate the glass, and they'd be lethal in transition.

 

[Conrad13]

Pearl
Dion
Carmelo
Coleman
McRae

Four out of the five of those guys can create their own offense and McRae is there because he should be.

Scoop, Battle, and Devo would be my next three selections.

 

[4evaOrange]

The combo of basketball and football offseasons is murdering me.

always lacrosse dude.

 

[Trueblue25]

always lacrosse dude.

Baseball forever.

 

[OrangeDW]

you pick 5 all time Syracuse players in a pick up city street basketball environment, half court, fastest to 21 wins.

Who do you pick?

(Because i started watching only 20 years ago)

Scoop
Devo
Melo
Hak
Christmas


Hard not to include Dion or Flynn. Going for a blend of attitude and finesse

Pearl
Waiters
Carmelo
Owens
Coleman

2nd team:
Lloyd
Devendorf
Harris
Wallace
McRae

3rd team:
Flynn
Edelin
D. Johnson
Warrick
Hill

 

[Trueblue25]

Somewhat surprised not to see mentioned of Donte Green (he’s been out of shape in TBT) or McNeil if not for intimidation alone

If the game is played outside and the wind is blowing, Donte’s 25 foot jacks are useless and he has no other way of creating offense.

 

[DaCuse]

Man, something just tells me I have to have Devendorf START on my street team...

 

[Trueblue25]

Malachi Richardson’s my 6th man if we’re down 20-12 and our backs are against the wall

 

[JDubbin]

For those of you who don't know, Conrad "McNasty" McRae was (is) LITERALLY a streetball legend.

The 25 Greatest Streetball Players of All Time24. Conrad McRae

He was in the original And1 Mixtape, check him out going against the best of NYC at 7:46 (block), 11:59 (dunk), 12:06 (4 dunks!) and 12:46 (dunk) marks among a few others. Legendary.

Waiters
Devo
Melo
Grant

[Capt. Tuttle]

Pearl. That is all.

 

[Cuse1055]

Any street ball team that doesn't include the one and only Dwayne "Pearl" Washington isn't complete IMO.
Pearl
Dion
Billy
Melo
DC

 

[NineOneSeven]

Dion
Devo
Battle
Carmelo
Fab Melo

3 guard line-up, but 3 tough guards who can get theirs. Fab Melo at the rim for defense. Carmelo does it all.

Pearl

Devo
Melo
Myself

Can I pick myself as the 5th guy. I suck but by the time I got down the court Pearl would have already scored himself, thrown a lob to DC or hit Melo in stride trailing for a tomahawk. Also on defense I would just rely on DC blocking the shot every time my man beat me down. If this is not allowed my 5th player would be:

Dion

Only if you run the perimeter like Cooney

 

[djcon57]

PACE!!

His lefty shot would be unstoppable in a street ball game.

 

[djcon57]

Billy E is the easy 2nd PG behind Pearl.

 

[HoustonCuse]

Pearl
Devo (Waiters a close second here)
Melo
Owens
Etan

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Billy E is the easy 2nd PG behind Pearl.

He was my next pick behind Z.

For street ball, you want a point guard that's first and foremost going to share the rock. Makes sure everybody stays engaged.
