$15 - pick your SU team

Assuming we'll be playing a 2-3 zone, I'll go MCW and Andy for a dollar each up top. Good luck making any entry passes against those two.

MCW $1
Andy $1
Melo $5
DNic $2
DC $5

I love this lineup. Tons of length. Lots of rebounding, lots of outside shooting. And I have a dollar leftover to donate to charity.

Edit: I didn't look at anyone else's before I did mine. Clearly I'm like the 47th person to think Andy/MCW was a clever idea.

MCW $1
Bing $4
Melo $5

Walk-On $0 at Center

I like this group.

Etan and Mcw on defense would be sick, rebounding, everyone is a plus rebounder outside of devo. Scoring would be off the charts.

Let’s get it out of the way - the pricing is off. Some guys shouldn’t be there, and some that were left off should be there.


I’m going:
Pearl - $3
Rautins -$1
Carmelo - $5
Owens - $4
Etan - $2

I got 3 of the top 6 players, the best interior defender at center, and the best combo of 3 point shooting/defense at the 2.

Wow. This was the exact team I picked!

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Mike - 1
Devo - 2
Melo - 5
Billy -4
Etan -2

I've done these in the past. This one is messed up in too many ways to bother. Bing as a PG? Wasn't he more of a SG in college? And I don't care what position you call him, he is a $5 guy. He is the best we ever had. GMac as a $5 SG over Moten? Moten is our alltime leading scorer. He should be $4 behind Bing on the SG line. GMac should be $3 if he's on the SG line. As DC already said, he is a PF and Owens is a SF. And there is no way Owens is behind Wallace if they're at the same position. Owens was a POY candidate and drafted 3rd overall after his junior year. He led the team in scoring as a sophomore when DC was still on the team. Did Nichols ever even play PF?

Here’s how the choices should go:

…… PG. …… 2G. ….. SF. ……PF. …… C
5. Pearl. …Bing. ….Melo. ….DC. ….Rony

4. Sherm. GMAC…. Owens. …Wallace. …. Etan
I
3. MCW. … Rautins. ….Moten. …..Hakim. …. Boule

2. Flynn. … Dion. … Battle. …Wesley. …… Fab

1 Ennis. …. Devo. …. Addison. …..Hackett. …. Xmas

That looks much better. I would still put Moten and Battle in with the 2G, though. I know Moten played two seasons at both positions, but I always thought that was because of a lack of players there during the years affected by the sanctions and not because it was his best position.

I’m another in the MCW/Rautins/Melo/Hak/DC camp.

 

[JDubbin]

It'd be amazing to take these various Syracuse lineups & play them against each other on a custom roster EA NCAA Basketball video game. Not only do you make the GM decisions of compiling your lineup, then you play against other Syracuse legends lineups to see what really is the best overall mix/compilation. I'd love watching it for sure.

P.S. rumor is, with the NIL changes, that EA NCAA Basketball may be back in 2023!

The answer is to play people "out of position."

Bing $4
DC $5
Owens $4
Rak $1
MCW $1

Dave Bing is SG, DC is PF, Rak plays C

Give me Leo Rautins as a $0 6th man and this squad is very tough to beat.

I thought about that but Bing should be $5.

PG. Sherm $5

C. Christmas $1

I had Devo originally but wanted the extra shooting and off ball movement lol.

 

[RandygoCuse]

Bing - 4
Rautins - 1
Melo - 5
Hak- 3
Etan -2

I made the last minute change taking Hak and Etan over Owens and Christmas.
