I'm not sure if we've had this thread before.

Who are your starting one and dones as of today. Of course Coach K doesn't have certain positions and neither will this thread. It will by your own opinion and of course all of the starters will be correct. It is understood that most will not be named because of defense. You just can't teach "D" in 8 months.

Here are mine.

Kyrie Irving. Even though we had him just a few games he dominated from day one and still is.
Jason Tatum. He was really a versatile big. I really think with enough work he could play the p.g.
Jahlil Okafor. Played the middle so well as a freshman. Rebounder and scorer.
Jabari Parker. Put up some great numbers as a freshman. If he ever gets healthy he will be a star.
Brandon Ingram. He had a great year for us and is becoming a star.

I thought of Rodney Hood and technically he was a one and done. Having a solid career.

Sky, Sky’s son, ODD and I would sit on the bench each enjoying a beer while John Reik played 1 vs 5. We would win 82-50 and that’s only because John Reik was smart enough to bet on the other team at +33.

Woof. That’s tough to do. Hard leaving Jabari off of there. Brandon, too. Is mine nuts? I just love Wendell.

We may have to call in Chris moneymaker and the bigfoot team, to find a Austin Rivers sighting.

I didn’t go by the best individual talents, I just tried to make a balanced lineup. This lineup still has a lot of firepower so give me the rim protection in Carter and defensive versatility of Justise all day.
 
I think of Dirt when I read one and done (OAD).
So with that my team:
Dirt, Sky, Hart, Topps, QC Dukie, and JCdevilfan. Crafty old farts that will do whatever it takes to win.

Damn Mac, that’s a legit squad right there!

That all senior line up is just nasty. I couldn’t see them losing to any schools all-time team
 
I think I changed my mind. I’ll go with

Tyus- true point guard
Kyrie - can play off ball and handle the ball in late clock situations. Plus he never missed a layup in college
Luol Deng - the best 3 and D freshman we’ve had
Marvin Bagley - rebounding machine and scorer in the post
Jahlil Okafor - best post scorer and a willing passer out the post.
 
Truth: Deng - he carried a Final Four team

Underarrated: Maggette - he didn't start on a Final Four team

Personal: Parker - felt he completely bought in and would have been a Grant Hill. Caught him recently on the Bucks and put a smile to my face
