Was thinking Will Spradling if he falls to me which would be hilarious. And maybe Nino Williams

David Hall, absolutely if he hasn't been taken.
D. Cunningham
One year wonders at point guard: Louie Small and LaKeith Humpries (soiled rep involving underage townie, but a baller)

Others
Carl Gerlach, Lou Hitch, Roger Sutner, Larry Williams

Is this over? I’m missing the love for the late 90’s in here. Paco May, Cortez Groves, Schwartzandruber (I think I used to take a lot of pride that I could spell his name right, don’t care to anymore), Manny & Shawn?

No to all of this except for maybe Deryl Cunningham, but our buddy Greg was already lousy with bigs. I was kidding with you a couple of weeks ago about being old, but you're really old.

Swartzendruber

So basically the no zone is the time period beginning with the 1996-97 season, Asbury made the tournament in 1996, to the year 2003-2004, the year Wooly signed a top 15 class. Manny Dies was pretty far and away the best player of that era. I believe he averaged something like 12 and 8 for his career. Of course because of Todd Stewart no one thinks of Manny as a serious basketball player, but he was no doubt the best. I'd say Shawn Rhodes and Pervis Pasco were runners up here. The problem is that Asbury and Wooly played so damn slow. Manny's pace adjusted numbers would be much better than his raw counting stats do, but that wasn't a thing in 1998 and no one cares about that in a twitter popularity contest.

I can't decide if I hate the Stewart pick. I feel like I do.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Greg is my boy and he knows that, I also made my mark on ksufans defending Clent to the death. Not only should you hate the Clent pick, but Greg should be embarrassed by it, and every guard taken after Clent is also embarrassing. Deathbite is still available and he's unquestionably better, in every way, than every guard on the bottom of that board. Do y'all know there are free websites that have both raw and adjusted data? The media guide, also free.

There have been 55 players taken in that draft, check this crap out.

Kamau is

18th all time in points scored
5th all time in 3 pointers made
3rd all time in total assists
9th all time in assists per game
5th all time in steals
One of only 10 players with 1000 points, 200 assists, and 100 steals

He did all of this despite not being anywhere close to the top 10 in games played.

This is a travesty, he's one of the best 25 players in the history of the program and I want to fight everyone in that draft.

I'll bet Kam even gives you a shout out with the pick

Is this a Twitter team popularity contest or a Twitter let's see who can have the most obscure wildcats on one team contest?

Why on earth is Hopper on there and not Kam?  Why is this making me angry?

Lance Harris should have been taken no later than the 5th round.

I might take BTK’s panel of experts’ top 8 KSU twitter personalities against any of these squads in this contest.

Although it's only one football thread and one basketball thread, I love the robust sports discussions, it's invigorating.

Mark Young?

I was trying to remember him earlier. I remember there being a player who was pretty decent during that time but declared early even though there was little to no chance he’d be drafted. I first thought it was Paco but looked it up and he played all 4 years.

I know this time period sucked, but this was my JH/HS years so I had to talk them up a little😂

what's fun to remember about asbury's pace of play is that he really talked up his run-and-gun style from pepperdine that he was bringing to ksu cats.  of course, every coach said that during that time period. 
problem is asbury just wanted to do everything/one but coach when he finally made it to a big school.  pushed it all down to his assistants (campbell coached bigs, can't remember his other assistants, fox was a grad assistant).


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

I fell into it. They just dm’ed me. I’ll let you know when the next one is. Imma be honest. I’m pretty new to KSU basketball history pre 2000. I did research and wanted to try to pick a guy from every era. I had no idea Clent had the freshman assist record and i thought that was cool so i picked him.
