I'm a sucker for that kind of exercise, but that was full of stupid what-ifs. Big disappointment; 100 posters on here could've made a more reasonable list. What if Carmelo Anthony was a junior in 2005? Come on, that's ridiculous.

I also take issue with the "definitely not an NIT team" conclusion about the 2008 team. Why, because they had such a difficult time scoring without Devendorf? Please, they were a 6-3 team with him. Offense wasn't what they lacked; leadership and defense were the missing elements, and a full year of Devendorf wasn't going to make up for that.

That list is like "Ten Hypotheticals for People Who Don't Really Follow Basketball." Give me some Edelin what-ifs, some Darryl Watkins without the December 2004 injury, some Earl Duncan speculation. This was outrageous and off-the-wall stuff combined with foolishness like "Hey, maybe continued mediocre production from Chris McCullough would've made a crappy team better."

Nevertheless, nice bump. I like the old thread a lot more than the professional's piece.
