I wouldn't put Pullen in my top 10.

I don't think any objective person would. probably not even top 30 if we are being honest. nearly 20 years of big 12 ball has produced lots of talent.

Andre Emmett from Tech had some good Big 12 seasons. Amazing dunker.

Are we excluding Colorado, Nub, aTm and mizz players too? (not that I can think of many off the top of my head anyway)

All time teams from big 12 schools would be fun too

Oklahoma State, because I'm up in the middle of the night.

G - Marcus Smart (better all-around game and stronger than Lucas III on a team that lacks size.)
G - Tony Allen
G/F - Desmond Mason (better teams than Anderson, so less scoring, but these could be switched)
F - Joey Graham
F/C - Mario Boggan (bad person )

G/F - James Anderson
G - John Lucas III
G - Markel Brown
F - Ivan McFarlin
F - LeBryan Nash

A lot of good players, but mostly guards. Little real size, and their best forwards were smaller guys. The only real bruiser is Boggan. Could put a 3-pt shooter on the bench somewhere, but I figured no need with all the scoring ability. Doug Gottlieb might actually warrant a spot on the roster, or even in the starting lineup due to his distribution with a team this stacked. While not very big a good collection of 6-6 6-7 type dudes.

A lot of these Big 12 teams would be just sick. 2003-04 Pokes were disgusting.

G - Denis Clemente (really could be switched with Angel depending on what you favor)
G - Jacob Pullen
G - Rodney McGruder
F - Bill Walker
F - Michael Beasley

F - Cartier Martin
F- Jerimiah Massey
G - Angel Rodriguez
F - Dom Sutton
F - Curtis Kelly (wins out over Gip, Jamar and Hoskins dude to blocking ablility).

KSU's bench forwards were tough to choose. You could make an argument for Sutton starting along with Denis, Pullen, Mike and Bill. It would give them an excellent defender and add some scoring to the second unit with McGruder dropping down.

Denis could not be switched for angel no matter what you favor. JFC

steve dave · « **Reply #138 on:** March 04, 2015, 06:31:23 AM »

And I love angel

mocat · « **Reply #139 on:** March 04, 2015, 06:35:09 AM »

Cartier over hot rod

mocat · « **Reply #140 on:** March 04, 2015, 06:35:49 AM »

Yeah and Denis probably plays 40 minutes

Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) · « **Reply #141 on:** March 04, 2015, 06:47:10 AM »

Dom Sutton was overrated. I'd take Seibrandt, DeJesus, Travis Reynoldsor Paco May over him.

kslim · « **Reply #142 on:** March 04, 2015, 07:02:23 AM »

oh we can have a bench now?

have to throw our guy kim english in there somewhere, JFC guys he hasnt even got a mention yet

So this is now just a name-drop thread. I just realized Nebraska has had two Cookies. What are the odds of that?

That's what I thought. How are we coming on digging up a big 12 player named Christmas

Who was the dude from Okie State that went shot for shot with Durant in that game where Sean Sutton almost fainted?

Byron Eaton?

Raef was a slightly less physical version of Perry Ellis surrounded with better players.

LOL, this is not accurate at all. Raef was a white.
Darrell Arthur actually isn't a bad comparo - both were above average athletes and shooters for their size that were great finishers on stacked teams

Raef was before my time. I didn't start caring about KU hoops until I matriculated to KU. I do know that Raef is about a foot taller than Perry, though. I think Sasha Kaun is the right comparison, here.

Kaun and Aldrich are pretty awful comparisons. Raef was known for his mid-range game and especially turnaround 15 footers. He was considerably more polished than either of those two offensively.

Mr Bread · « **Reply #147 on:** March 04, 2015, 10:43:03 AM »

I bet mean people called him Raep LaFrentz because of KU's sexual assault troubles. Opposing fans can be classless. I imagine he hardly did any rapes himself.

I don't recall KU being known for Sexual Assault U back in Raef's era. So they were either sweeping it under the rug really well or it increased quite a bit when Self rolled into town.

My team.

Coach- Self (Duh)

Assistant- Townsend (Gotta have a bagman)

Starters-

G- Chalmers - The shot, great floor leader
G- Hinrich - Need 2 guards that can handle and shoot
F- Rush - Perfect "3" for the college game, can go inside and hit the 3.
F- LaFrentz- Rhode Island/Arizona ruined his legacy. Kid could play.
F- Collison- Left KU as the Big12's all time leading scorer

Bench Big's

Marcus Morris- Shame he has to come off the bench
Gooden - Great rebounder and scorer
Pierce- Best NBA Career but I think LaFrentz was better in college
Aldrich- Gotta have 1 "Rim Protector"

Guards-

Collins- "Skinny" version only
Vaughn- Would have trouble seeing the floor on this team.
Boschee- Only gets a spot so I can hear Bob Davis yell "SWWIIIIIIIISSSHH"
