so, not the current team's worst five, and the 2000-2001 starters would destroy them.

Post by: michigancat on January 02, 2011, 05:01:45 PM
Only reid and seibrandt were 00-01 starters from that list.

IIRC:

Reid
Terry
???
Seibrandt
Howell

who is your worst five?

would have: potuzak, jhr, ojeleye & myles.

then one of williams, southwell or peterson.  i'd lean southwell right now and lean that peterson doesn't deserve to be mentioned, but haven't really seen enough of any to say.


this assumes you want at least some semblance of position balance.  otherwise i'd make southwell pg & lolmao at your team wiping the court w. my team.

If my team ever got freddy to catch a ball down low, your post would reject him without jumping or else fred would throw a behind the back pass to the ball boy.  We also would have no answer to your teams perimeter game with oj and canada raining down threes on us.  You might argue that myles would do the same to you guys, but I would totally coach him to make the extra pass into the post disaster every time.

 :combofan:Worst vs Wooly's first.

PG - Canada couldn't hang with Reid. Not a chance. Myles may get off a shot or two, but advantage Wooly.

SG - I'll stick Williams here, fortunately Terry would not be a difficult guard for him, though Terry may be able to back down and post. However, Terry's lock down D would make it difficult for Nino, even with a quickness advantage; even match-up.

SF - OJ would have to hope Q doesn't go College Station on him. This would actually be a pretty good match-up; slight advantage to OJ's brawn vs Q's length.

PF - Sei's strength and nifty left hook would be tough for Pot. I'm afraid this is a big time advantage for Wooly's first.

C - Howell is the only Cat besides Beasley that I can remember with a 20-20 game in the OOD. JHR's length would bother him, but Howell could bang. Would be tough for JHR to score, advantage Wooly.

Bench - Tony vs Southwell. We all saw what Tony did to TJ. Enough said.

Worst would hang for a while, but the scoring trifecta of Reid, Sei, and Howell would be too much. Wooly's group goes 7-11 from three with only quality looks from the triangle and Worst is hurt by their 10-21 FT performance.

Wooly 67 - Worst 59

Freddy is much closer to being in the top 5 than the bottom 5, dumbass.

So far Fred has established that he has below average hands, no jumping ability, post moves that can't be counted on, does not pass well out of a double-team, can't hit the broad side of a barn from 15 feet, can't run the floor in a fast paced game, oh and sucks, his role on this team should be big body with 5 fouls to give off the bench.

Siebrandt would also get at least two behind the back dishes from the top of the triangle to the cutter.

I actually think Ojeleye is no where near the bottom 5.

Am I the only one that thinks Spradling should atleast get some consideration for the bottom 5? He's slow, turns the ball over a lot, and gets burned on defense by every PG he guards.

Pota
Southy
95
Canada

Would have gladly taken a lineup like this 10 years ago.

Larry Reid
Nick Williams
Gilson DeJesus
Matt Seibrandt
Pervis Pasco

That's actually probably pretty close to the all-Wooly team.  Switch DeJesus to the 2, stick Cartier at the 3 (replacing Williams), then replace Seibrandt with Massey. So Wooly had arguably 3 of the top 5 players of his tenure on the same team and finished what, 7th, that year?  Was that the peak 6-10 year?

Yeah, I think he finished 7th in year 2.  The lack of depth was ridiculous those first two years.

Wooly had several peak 6-10 seasons.

I think I'd highly consider Harris and Hoskins in the all-Wooly team over DeJesus and Pasco.

Harris def. more athletic than DeJesus, but IIRC DeJesus was a more consistent shooter.  Loved Hoskins, but he *was* undersized and seemed to struggle against teams with legit size (although a tremendously effective player for his size). Pervis was bigger, fairly well-coordinated, and also an effective player.  The Fiasco may unfairly color the overall view of him, I feel.

Like I said, it's arguable. Lots of players with similar effectiveness.  MichiganCat hit the big problem:  lack of depth.  Assemble 7 or 8 of those interchangable, decent players in one year, and Wooly could have made a run at .500.   :ksu:

He never really played before he got hurt. I think it makes sense to just trust Frank's evaluation on the players we've never really seen play, but if he gets his redshirt, it would probably be fair to just exclude him from this conversation.

Frank plays/played players that should never even see the court, like Merriwhether and Colon. Also, there's no way Spradling is better than Irving, and especially Russell, yet he gets more playing time.

Look mensa when you're on a basketball board and somebody asks you for your best 5, starting 5, or worst 5, they mean a lineup ok.  Now in basketball a lineup traditionally includes a combination of guards, forwards, and sometimes a center, so don't give me 4 guards and pota and call it your worst 5, and to think you called me a dumbass :gocho:

I gave my worst 5 players, not my worst lineup. Just throw JHR in there to round out the posts. Williams would stay at the 3. Peterson, Myles, and Southwell haven't played enough for me to really determine who should move out of the bottom 5.
