PG--Sherman Douglas
SG--Andy Rautins

I really would have liked to see this squad mostly defensively in the zone and its all guys from 2000's and beyond.
MCW
Andy
Melo (more for offense but also excellent on the defensive glass.
Hak
Melo

All Time since I've been a fan:
Douglas
Andy (Senior Andy was great and would have mixed flawlessly with an all star line up IMO)
Melo
Billy
DC

 

[jordoo]

PG--Sherman Douglas
SG--Andy Rautins
SF--Billy Owens
PF--John Wallace
C---Derrick Coleman

You're a bit quicker than me! Overall that would be such a deadly team and of course I put Melo in instead of Wallace.

I was torn on Carmelo, but I actually like Billy Owens versatility a little more for that team.

I was also torn between Raf / Nichols as shooters to compliment the others, but went with The Chill. Given how his career ended on a pair of such sour notes, I think Owens often gets overlooked in the discussion of top program players. Pound for pound, he was one of the best.

For me I'm starting my front line with Billy and DC every time. I was on the same track as you though, take the best PG use DC as the center and then 2 more of our greatest forwards. Then at the 2G I just felt like Andy was the best fit with his all around game as well as the deadly shooting.

I've always thought Lawrence Moten kind of suffers from a similar fate as Billy as far as his career ending on a sour note and getting overlooked. He is a our all time scoring leader! Plus I always thought he was just as instrumental as John Wallace with getting us through the probation period - granted without the final four that John got us to.

 

[br801]

Pearl Washington
Brandon Triche
Carmelo Anthony
Derrick Coleman
Rosie Bouie

 

[mark79]

Sherman (greatest point ever)
Rautins (over Gmac because of D)
Coleman (greatest rebounder)
Anthony (greatest all around forw)
Seikaly (underrated scoring center)

I did not include players I've never seen, Bing got instance).

Toughest to leave out: owens, Hak, Wallace, poetry, Pearl.

 

[tee1222]

Going to switch it up a bit. Not all are my favorites, but I present to you the all nickname team:
PG The General
SG Poetry in Moten
SF Melo
PF Slick Rick the Ruler
C DC
Bench: The Pearl, Hak, Scoop, Red. Yes, we are guard heavy, but they're point guards. They should have nicknames!

 

[jordoo]

Rick the Ruler!

 

[HakAttack]

My favorites that I saw live at the Dome:

PG: Flynn
SG: McNamara
SF:Nichols
PF: Warrick
C: AO

6th Man: KONG

 

[HakAttack]

I find it really telling that no one has mentioned Devendorf so far in this thread.

 

[General20]

Tough question. I came up with 4 immediately, and had to really think on the fifth guy. My starting five:

Sherman Douglas
Allen Griffin (the one I had to think over)
Andy Rautins
Billy Owens
Etan Thomas

Next five:

Scoop Jardine
Billy Edelin
Mike Hopkins
John Wallace
Arinze Onuaku

I'm a huge Allen Griffin fan, too. Very underrated player--and he's gone on to have a solid coaching career, which doesn't surprise me at all. Kid was always high character.

Wait a minute! I thought Scoop stunk . . . . . . at least that was a popular opinion around here when he played.
