QueenCity I had to leave some that people could add as their plus one. What are your starting five, plus 3 bench players and one extra?

Almost impossible to be fair to some of these players. Some were here for just a few years, Different era's. How many three pointers would Steve Thomas made playing 35 games? To me the guys who played the longest in the pros are the best.

I got to see all these guys play live. Steve Thomas would have been a top pick to the pros if he hadn’t blown out his knee. Career ending in the 60s. He could shot what would have been 3 pointers with either hand. And his career had a freshman team and varsity team changes to consider.
Without any pro career numbers, I still put him all time top 10. Most of our best guards couldn’t have guarded him, IMO.

I can't believe that no one is brave enough to list their five, plus 3, plus 1.

Ok I’ll bite,
My five. West, Larkin, Grant, Posey, & Tu.
Bench, Hill, Bluiett, Crawford
My and one, Josh Duncan. Versatile, could play the 3,4, or 5.
I’ve broken the ice.
