Build the best possible team with UConn players since our last title

Cole
Bouknight
Martin
Miller
Sanogo

6th man: Daniel Hamilton (mostly for positional versatility)

Ball-handling is maybe a little weak, but that team can hurt you at all 3 levels and will rebound like crazy.

Saying "Christian Vital, but only from February 2020" felt like cheating.

I actually chose Vital over Bouknight because of defense and rebounding. Bouknight was a borderline bad/average defender, Vital could lock people down.

I got enough defense and rebounding at the other positions, I want a bucket-getter.

The talent we surrounded Jalen Adams with while at UConn is criminal. I’d love to see him run with Bouk and CV. Or this past years team. He may be the biggest waste of Talent in UConn history. I still believe the kid had the goods with the right coaching.

Jalen is the kid with the biggest delta - to me - between his potential when he got to Storrs and the player he was when he left. He is among the handful of recruits I was most excited for and I can only imagine the player he'd be now if he played his entire UConn career under Calhoun or Hurley. I'm not sure he was the hardest worker who's ever come through the program and, in his defense, I don't think he was really held accountable for 3/4 of the time he was here. I hate to use the phrase "waste of talent" about college kids but his potential was certainly not maximized. I genuinely thought he was going to be the next UConn pantheon level star. In addition to his talent, he seemed like he had such a winner's mentality coming out of high school.

Bouknight
Hamilton
Larrier before the ACL
Sanogo

I'd have Whaley as Josh's backup. The ball has to move with that lineup.

I fully expect Adama to be my starter when we do this again next year ( or maybe Clingan ;-)

Brimah?
 
Hamilton would hate me but...

Cole - PG
Adams - PG
Bouknight - SF
Hamilton - PF
Sanogo - C

Adams
Cole
Bouknight

Bench

Purvis
Hamilton
Jackson
Vital
Polley

Carlton
Gilbert

The OP did say team right.

PG: RJ Cole
SG: Jalen Adams
SF: James Bouknight
PF: Shonn Miller
C: Adama Sanogo

Equal parts best lineup and Cole/Adams are the two guys I most want to see what they'd do surrounded with other playmakers like this. You could also slide Vital and Hamilton in a couple different ways, but this is the two lead guards and a scoring wing combination that has been very very good to UConn.

This is the best starting five of the bunch. Three guards and it can be looked at as 1 PG, 2 Combos or 2 PGs + 1 combo.

Add him to this past years team and we may still be playing. He got to the rim with ease. And was a better shooter than given credit for.

Vital
Rj

Purvis

Vital and Bouk have to be in it. After that, there's many scenarios.

Boatright
Adams
Bouknight
Tyrese
Sanogo

Here’s an even more interesting question for some on this board. Who’s the coach? Ollie or Hurley? Lmaoo
