Saw something similar to this on the rivals college hoops board. Thought I’d tweak it up a little for some fun here. Build a 3 man team from every decade. Keep in mind how these guys would play together. For example, if your top 3 players are big men, that’s not a desirable 3v3 team. You ultimately should have someone capable of playing the PG role and a big man, but we’ll leave it all to your imagination. If a player participated in 2 decades, their senior (or final year) denotes the decade they belong in. You’re welcome to do the 80s or earlier, I’m starting with 90s.
90-99: Hurley, Grant, Laettner
I really debated switching Trajan and Hurley. As good of a shooter as he was, he wasn’t a shot creator and having him play the 1 spot in a 3’s matchup makes him virtually useless. Didn’t like leaving out Elton but I’m not pulling Laettner and didn’t like the double big-man look for 3v3. No creativity here but this team was really that good.
00-09: Jay Will, JJ, Battier
Elite versatile PG, best sharpshooter in history and the the best fundamentally. I find this lineup hard to debate.
10-current: Kyrie, Tatum, Zion
Spent the most time deciding this one. Freakishly athletic, explosive scoring. Debated Zion at the 2 and Bagley at the 3 but I’m sticking with pure athleticism.
How about y’all?
