Build your all-time starting five with $15

Napier ($3), Castle ($3), Rip ($5), Karaban ($1), Clingan ($3).

I've got it all.

Clingan and Napier seem like auto-inclusions at their prices. The 4 is the weakest part of the UConn all-time lineup, so I'll go value with Karaban (to get that court spacing) and let me afford Rip for scoring and Castle for defense.

 

[ConnEd]

Allen $5
Okafor $5
Napier $3
Burrell $1
Karaban $1

 

[uconn1999]

Kemba, Castle, Lamb, Adrien, and DC

 

[Chin Diesel]

Smitty
Burrell
Castle
Donyell
Oak

 

[Bazz4A]

Napier Castle Lamb Marshall Sanogo

 

[Kolumbo]

5 Walker
3 Castle
4 Butler
1 Karaban
2 Sanogo

 

[Horatio]

Smith, Allen, Butler, Karaban and Clingan = $14. Chris Smith for $1 is absolutely disrespectful and a steal.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Smith, Gordon, Hamilton, Adrien, Clingan

Scoring, Defense, and an even variety of eras

 

[Al Czervik]

This is a good thread before the season opener:
Mek
Alex
Caron
Madison Ben Gordon
Smitty (agree that it’s criminal for him to be $1)

 

[444JR]

Steph Castle 6'6 ($3)
Jordan Hawkins 6'5 ($1)
Ray Allen 6'5 ($5)
Rudy Gay 6'8 ($3)
Dovovan Clingan 7'2 ($3)

 

[WrenchFan69]

Honestly just give me the 5 $3 players. That team would be insane

I had the same team with KEA. Think the other 4 are obvious.

 

[jleves]

PG El Amin $2
SG Gordon $4
SF Gay $3
PF Vil $3
Center Clingan $3

 

[GampelGladiator]

Ryan Boatright
Cam Spencer
Nadav Henefeld
Kevin Freeman
Hilton Armstrong

just saying...

 

[GampelGladiator]

PG Bazz $3
SG Gordon $4
SF Rip $5
PF AK $1
C Sanogo $2

National championship required.

Only one player per dollar value.

I picked the exact 5 and then read the comments to see if I was redundant … and didn’t even get past the first one.

 

[T-Squared]

Emeka - $5
Cliff - $4
Rudy - $3
Dyson - $2
Smitty - $1

 

[superjohn]

Napier ($3) Smitty ($1) Rip ($5) Castle ($3) Clingan ($3)

Napier and Clingan are way too cheap at $3 and Smitty is way too cheap at $1. Team has the shooting and scoring with Napier, Smitty, and Rip and lock down D with Castle and Clingan.

 

[lateralous]

What a fun and difficult question.

KEA 2
Chris Smith 1
Ray Allen 5
Donyell Marshall 5
Sanogo 2

 

[CL82]

Napier $3
Castle $3
Lamb $2
Butler $4
Clingan $3

We need someone to sim these teams.

Haha I thought about this, but ended up deciding that Rip+Karaban was better than Gay+Charlie V

 

[caw]

Clingan (3)
Marshall (5)
Burrell (1)
Castle (3)
Napier (3)

I feel great about the defense here and Napier and Marshall stretch the floor a decent amount.

 

[6in25]

Bazz ($3)
Castle ($3)
Clingan ($3)
Rip ($5)
Karaban ($1)

 

[SWHuskyFan]

Smitty 1
Allen 5
Burrell 1
Marshall 5
Clingan 3

 

[Mister P]

PG- Smith ($1)
SG- Allen ($5)
SF- Gay ($3)
PF- Karaban ($1)
C- Okafor ($5)

Three AA’s. I think this team would play together really well. Shooters that could space the floor while allowing open lanes for dribble drive penetrations. Plenty of scoring with a service able defense. Smith was a stud and a bargain at $1.

 

[Ricker]

Napier $3
Lamb $2
Castle $3
Butler $4
Clingan $3

 

[Mr. French]

Okafor 5 and Clingan 3?

Napier 3 and Newton 4?

Let the debates begin.

 

[Hungryhusky99]

Bazz
Hawk
Caron
Donyell
Adama

 

[GlastonTim]

Napier
Castle
Butler
Karaban
Clingan
And I’ll take Oriaki for 25 cents Alex.
