Dre’s All Time UConn Team

[I Bleed Blue]

Tough to choose but good list imo.

 

[Inyatkin]

Donyell was a little before his time, so understandable. Swap him and Thabeet and it's perfect

 

[strivefor5]

who’s taking the last shot on this squad

 

[bendm]

who’s taking the last shot on this squad

kemba ray or rip dont care which

 

[Kenny11]

There are better combinations for nba purposes but that’s an amazing college team.

 

[MrP]

Swap donyell or Caron for Hasheem

 

[gsmooth]

damn, you beat me to it
after that swap you have pristine college basketball team.

 

[huskyinfl]

Yes, yes, yes, yes, hell no

 

[JB75]

Yeah. I deff swap donyell and Thabeet. Go with Meka at the 5 donyell the 4

 

[JimHurley]

There’s no way Napier is not 1st-team all UConn. What that boy did was nothing less than incredible.

Napier, Kemba, Allen, Rip, Okafor.

 

[Ratso]

thabeet was a game changer

if dyson wasn’t injured that 2009 run, another title

Ray Allen, Kemba, Richard Hamilton, Emeka they were game changers.

 

[Ratso]

Ray Allen, Kemba, Richard Hamilton, Emeka they were game changers.

he was game changer in college. terrible pro?

 

[ZenConn]

who’s taking the last shot on this squad

no last shot. every game will be a blow out

 

[mauconnfan]

I'm actually good with either Thabeet or 'Yell. Actually pretty damn hard to keep Caron off this team too.

Andre picked a nice team, well done!

 

[Palatine]

I would make Toby Kimball the PF and move Oak to center. TK would have had a 10 year career in the expanded NBA of today.

 

[uchusky32]

Great lineup. I have imagined what Earl would have done with the talent and coach that was around 3 to 4 past his time. Saw what he did to Smitty and Tate in the gym wasn't even close.

 

[methodology]

There’s no way Napier is not 1st-team all UConn. What that boy did was nothing less than incredible.

Napier, Kemba, Allen, Rip, Okafor.

Shabazz is all time but no way you take him over Kemba, ray, or rip

 

[Mr. Hand]

We are a blessed fan base, just for being able to have this discussion with the players we've had.

 

[JimHurley]

Shabazz is all time but no way you take him over Kemba, ray, or rip

I included all 3 you mentioned PLUS Napier...

 

[UConnSwag11]

I included all 3 you mentioned PLUS Napier...

He may be first off the bench bc he wouldn't be in over Caron

 

[Kenny11]

Napier, Kemba, Allen, Rip, Okafor.

Let’s put it like this..Drummond would definitely not even be considered on shabazz’s all time team, even as a third team selection of players in the past decade.

 

[Dove]

who’s taking the last shot on this squad

At the time of their college careers...HamBone

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Yeah. I deff swap donyell and Thabeet. Go with Meka at the 5 donyell the 4

Nicely done.

How, then, would Hashem, Caron, Rudy, Shabazz, and [who else?] do in a 10 game series?

 

[MrP]

BG

 

[JB75]

Great convo to have. Wud be amazing. Not even including Ben Gordon or Chris smith or uncle cliffy. I love Bazz but I couldn’t take him over Gordon or Caron.

 

[CTBasketball]

You’re not scoring on that team, almost 10 blocks a game in the frontcourt.

 

[CardiacKemba]

Dre never watched Donyell play, so this team is very solid from him.

I read through his whole B/R app AMA, he gave some very thoughtful answers, especially when asked about his trade and Kobe. Cool to see.

 

[The Viking]

If we are developing a team I'd at least have two guys at the end of the bench like ricky moore and Rashad.
Always good to have a shut down guard and a sniper depending on what the situation calls for in the final minute

 

[JimHurley]

He may be first off the bench bc he wouldn't be in over Caron

Welp, I don’t think so, but must be because I’m young. I was 6 when Caron left.
