Dickie V's Top 5 players of the Decade

[Travelman6]

Hey everyone, greetings, happy 2020! I have not been around too much lately, will explain soon when I have time (in a completely new place)!

Anyway, say what you want about Dickie V, but at least he got one thing sort of right here ( I would move Kemba up at least 2 spots).

Love me some Kemba, but still don't see how Shabazz doesn't make this list. Played more than a limited role in 2011 NC and carried a very average team to 2014 NC. Go back and watch where he launched some of his shots from. Yes DD, Boat and Niels were huge contributors, but Shabazz carried that team on his back.

All these people putting someone who played 33 games as the best player of a decade are lazy with a ridiculous recency bias.

Shabazz was unbelievable his senior season. I think he belongs in the Top 10 for the decade. He was so clutch at crunch time in so many games. Plus, it was like having a coach on the court.

Looking strictly at the numbers, Bazz averaged 18, 5, and 6 in his senior year. Kemba averaged 23.5 ppg and had similar assist and rebound numbers. To rank one over the other is splitting hairs, they were both that good.
