I'd take the Doghouse All-Stars (thought my nickname was clever for your created team) over this years team. I'm serious. Not one person stop Paul Harris on this team and nobody scores on Watkins and Celuck.

Watkins would own us, he wasn't that bad.

Doghouse All Stars...I didn't even realize that's what I was going for, but that is apt.

Yup, he took awhile to develop but had a solid senior year and played in the NBA. Paul Harris averaged 14 and 9 as a soph. He was a good player, and doesn't belong on that roster.

Agreed, Watkins and Harris both don't belong.

That team would destroy this one.

I think that's why this is a tough exercise. I was going with starters who might not fit together against this team.

Shumpert would score more than Gillon, Battle, Howard, and White combined.
Wright would burn by Howard or Gillon every time down the court.
Wright (and I never liked him) is DC before DC was DC.
Roberts and McNeil aren't allowing anything inside against this team. Would love to see Howard drive on McNeil.

Yes, think you found one that the current squad would beat.

The roster was supposed to be a mix of players we considered weak or underachieving or head cases. Watkins played on some "bad" teams, Harris was a head case sometimes. But the both did great things on the court. Watkins game winning 3 against against Rutgers was one of my favorite happy surprise moments. (Or was that the original Trob?)

Yeah, he had bad hands early, but played in 14 games in the NBA and was a pretty intimidating figure down low. Not much of a fun in the pros - but pretty awesome.

Wait a minute -- three of these teams and no deshaun Williams? Tis the season for a refresher: Deshaun Williams plays basketball at Iona these days, but his legend remains in Syracuse

Deshaun would be our best guard right now, hands down.
And I have to say I periodically search for and read that article. Probably read it 3-4 different times.
Agree on both counts

I actually thought Mike Jones was really talented. Just a bit (lots) of a head case.

Winner^^^^
And McCorkle was decent, had a nice senior year off the bench. But Ovcina....wow, was he frustrating.
