What is your best Dome era lineup

[Edfromsodus]

For me it's:

PG MCW
SG Rautins
SF Carmelo
PF Coleman
C Fab Melo

Bench:

Sherm
Pearl
Moten
Owens
Siekaly
Waiters
Wallace
Thompson

I picked MCW for the length at the top of the zone. Tough to leave out sherm and pearl. I like Rautins at the 2 because of his length, defense, and unselfish passing.

Let's Go Orange!!!

 

[RF2044]

Sherman Douglas
Andy Rautins
Carmelo Anthony
Billy Owens
DC

 

[tbonezone]

DC was a great PF. our best ever. but not a true 5 . he plays minutes there out of necessity but was clearly out of position. much like switching stevie t to pg . one of the greatest college wing scorers ever pushed out of position to try and get our 5 best guys on the court. proved to be a huge mistake. all that wasted talent jb couldn't quite coordinate. and yet years later we see lydon playing the 5.

Douglas

Obviously all five of those guys are legends, but I would personally swap out Moten for a lights-out shooter like Rautins. Otherwise you'd have a bunch of mediocre perimeter threats.

I hear you. There's no lights out, great 3 point shooter. But all 5 can make them. A few things...I know that's where the game has gone, but I not only prefer those players but also the style of ball they played over the current era.

However, I think those guys could adapt their games to the current style and take and make more 3's too. Like, I think every single one of them would be a much more prolific 3 point shooter if they played college ball right now. I think that team would be too versatile to stop, with Moten, Melo, Owens, and Coleman all being able to score in numerous ways, all being at least solid passers, and capable ball handlers...with the best passing star PG we've had to run the show.

[Col. Bleep]

Two players from the early Dome era remain consistently underrated.
No one even mentions them.

Percentagewise, the best 3-point shooting guard the Orange have ever had was Greg Monroe.
As a senior - his only season with the rule in effect - he shot almost 44% from 3!

And it's hard to imagine a ten man team without the only SU player to have 3 career triple doubles: Leo Rautins.
Maybe THE most complete all-around player.

In short-shorts, long shorts or the tightie- whitie/Orangie-era??

Always got confused on these...

 

[JarHeadJim]

Any list that doesn't include John Wallace I can't take seriously.
