MBB All-Time Starting Five

Colson was an absolute stud. He’s the best PG in our program’s history in my opinion. Even better than Wat. Used to love the ā€œColson Iceā€ signs in Halton back in the day. We could compete with anybody with Colson and DeMarco on the court.

Guys like Colson and Demon Brown exuded swagger. They did not care who you were, they were there to beat you. And maybe after the game, take you out back and beat you.

Hard to know what to do with Heyward and White. Still such a bummer that Heyward didn’t get the chance to realize his potential, but I agree that he had tremendous potential to be great. Probably leave him off even though it feels bad. White was an incredible freshman, but I don’t think he goes in a starting five over a senior Demarco, Jarvis, or Kinch, probably next one up with Basden. I hate to say it, but I was a little surprised he ended up so high in the draft, seemed a first round talent but not lottery to me at the time. But if he stayed another year and improved his ball-handling skills and outside shooting like Johnson and Lang did by their senior year, he moves ahead.

For a lottery pick, White did not play in many more NBA games than I did.

I can usually ignore misspellings but I had to mention this. His name is CHARLES HAYWARD.

But he got paid more than you did :wink:

Skimming this quickly, but surprised I did not see Diego mentioned.

Diego wasn’t the greatest, but he was solid, and SOOOOOOO CLUTCH. I think his game elevated to superstar level when it was on the line. Been a while, but that’s how I remember him now.

Colson
Williams
Basden
Demarco
Cornbread

Dink, Jobey, Galen, Withers, White

His balls were the most brass… ever

Phil Ward has not been mentioned. He was a four year starter at PG and was clutch at the end of close games. He is certainly among our 20 best of all time although he did not have the benefit of great talent around him.

Go back and look at mine :wink:

I still consider Diego the most clutch shooter we have had. Maybe not the best or most athletic or even purest - but the dude had a knack of hitting some of the biggest 3s in biggest games.

I would think that this would be a good place to start with this list.

Some of my favorites not up there are : Colson, Diego, Jobey, Demon, Leemire, Withers, Galen Young, and Rodney White.

Even if not lottery, still higher than Basden, DJ, Lang and Withers draft positions.

[quote=ā€œOldrowniner, post:12, topic:30028ā€]Kinch grabbed dollar bills off the top of back board was told by Ben Bassinger (who owns single game reb record). James Worthy also know for that

The wives tale you are thinking of involves David Thompson, not Worthy.
