Build your best Syracuse team

[shermstheman]

Sherm, Sherm, Sherm, Sherm, and Sherm with the 6th man being Sherm (or Stevie). I really like Sherm.

 

[bpo57]

Melo, Warrick, Forth, Duany and GMac with Edelin, Pace and McNeil coming off the bench. Seemed to work the last time they were all on the floor together.

 

[jncuse]

It may be an interesting question but it is age biased. How many on this board ever saw Bing played (or were even alive then). And Louie and Bouie. Some players don't belong on this list but are there because they are fresher in our memory. Dave Johnson for 1. I loved watching Stevey T play but wouldn't but him here either.

I never saw Dave Bing play but I do have a Danny Schayes autographed card.

 

[Alsacs]

Based only on the list you gave...

Melo
G
DC
Waiters
GMac

Feel free to amend my OP with any glaring misses

 

[Shark58]

Pearl, Bing, Melo, Wallace & DC

What the heck is this? A therapy question after a tough loss? Last thing in the world I want to see this evening is a "what if". Great question but timing bit off.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Pearl
Waiters
Owens
Anthony
Coleman

 

[sufandu]

Fwd 1 Owens - 4
Fwd 2 Coleman - 5 I can't have DC at center. He only played there out of necessity. He's a PF.
Ctr Onuaku - 1
Grd 1 Waiters - 1
Grd 2 Douglas - 4

[Shawn91111]

Douglas, Waiters, Gbinije, Owens, Coleman.

That team might go undefeated.

Out of the ones selected this would be my team as well

 

[scottynguyen]

1 - GMac
2 - Gbinije
3 - CJ
4 - Melo
5 - DC

Trying my best to get a combination of good length for the zone and good shooters to surround Melo bc he will create 90% of the offense.

I wouldn’t mind swapping GMac for Andy tbh.

 

[SBU72]

Reading the above choices, I find it ridiculous that any team did not contain Bing, Coleman, Melo. Give me those three and any other 2 and I'll play the rest of the field. As my above comment, choices are showing age bias. How can ANY team leave off an NBA all star and hall of famer in Dave Bing. Thus include Melo. Coleman at forward and any pg and center. The PG would never have to score and would rack up unbelievable assists.

Because, the activity required that you spent $15 dollars, based upon the available choices / cost. So selecting those three would not work, since they would consume all $15 just on those three.

[Alsacs]

Alright I got
Sherm-4
Waiters-1
Coleman-5
Gbinije-1
Owens-4

I would like to tweek this exercise to expand it down the road. Include a bench and stuff. It’s fun and brings no negativity.

Why? Owens was just as good as Melo, if not a better all around player. I really think some forget just how good Billy Owens was. We're talking Syracuse team/players, not what they did in the NBA

 

[Funk Doc]

Carmelo, DC, Fair, GMac, Waiters

 

[Jasoncuse]

Owens 4
Fair 1
DC 5
Waiters 1
Sherm 4

If we're doing write-ins as 1 point players then:
Owens 4
Wes Johnson 1
DC 5
Andy Rautins 1
Sherm 4

Elite shooting, passing, rebounding and hopefully D. This team would be unstoppable in the half court and on the break.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Can we move DC back to forward where he played, versus center which he didn't?

Your team sucks.

 

[Alsacs]

Pick 5 players that add up to 15. Just make sure at least 2 front court or guards are picked at least.
You can take 2 from the same group.
Could go 3 Forwards, 2 guards.

3 guards, 1 Center, 1 forward whatever you want.

Okay no problem.
As this is subjective your opinion matters as much as mine.

Gotcha. Just scanned through it quickly.
