If you could add any former Husky

I can see why people would like Adrien, being that he's the anti-Oriakhi, but in a lot of ways he wasn't a real leader. All the attitude was there, but I don't think he had the (at least semi) calm sort of personality needed. One team he was on made it to the final four, all the others were pretty unremarkable.
 
Everyone's answer should be Caron.

He solves every problem this team has on the court, and considering he was about 24 when he got to UConn, he'd solve the youth problem as well.
 
AJ

Who better than the person who taught Kemba how to be a leader. Also gives us a huge dose of badly needed basketball IQ.
 
id say caron but he`d never get the ball from bazz so it wouldnt work out because bazz is still playing so id go with with ricky moore. he could score a little,run the offense,feed AD in the post where he is unstoppable and give us some much needed defense.
 
Chris Smith. We were an insignificant speck on the college basketball map before Chris Smith won us a Big East championship and took us to the Sweet 16. When you think of what that young man accomplished with the supporting cast he had his sophomore year, there is no question of what he could do with the (unrealized) talent on this year's team.

If Mr. Smith had gone to Washington today, we leave with a W.

Selvie, his leadership and passing ability alone would tranform this team.

plus his awesome mitts and ability to secure the rock fit in with our front court strengths....we need some more travels down low too. I like it!!!

Caron would go get rebounds if he wasn't gettting the ball enough. Could score on the baseline, would be excellent flashing to the foul line against the zone, and would start throwing some bodies around if his team was flat. Of course, it wasn't until midway through his sophomore year that he completed his transformation from very good player into stud, after going through a too-much-talk "we're winners, not chicken dinners" phase as a freshman, so his career wasn't perfect. But neither was Khalid's (when Rip left, he struggled to lead a more dysfunctional team) or Kemba's (sophomore year NIT).

I'd take him on this team in a heartbeat. People always discredited his success by the great talent he had around him - but this team has that same sort of talent, and lacks the rudder.
 
Majok.

No seriously, Caron would be my first choice.

I would consider Scottie Burrell as well he could do everything well.

If not those two I would go with someone like Jake Voshkul. Why? He set solid screens, played good defense and rebounded. Basically he did what I want Oriakhi to do. And he made the NBA and lasted doing those three things very well.
 
Why THE JUXTAPOSITION between ADRIEN and his fiery to this team would be a spectacle. I think we would immediately start winning games. easily.
 
Anyone who doesn't answer Khalid is crazy. A point who can penetrate and create shots for himself and others, and organize and run the offense.

Taliek or Khalid

More Taliek only because he knows how to pass the ball and not take 10 shots a game. (not talking about KEA) His D is also good!
 
Taliek, because he would only care about distributing the basketball. The team doesn't need another scorer.

I think they do. Lamb can't take a statue off the dribble right now either.
 
Rip was never great off the dribble, either. Of his 27 points against Duke, I think there was only once when he took a guy off the dribble in the halfcourt (resulting in a fadeaway bank shot along the left baseline after beating Carrawell to his left). Rip also hit a couple baseline fadeaways off the dribble in transition against unsettled defenses (one early after Khalid dove on the floor and shoveled it to him to make it 9-6 Duke, one middle of the second half to give us the lead around 52-50). He just had good screeners and two guys who could get him the ball when open. Khalid's not a bad choice for this team - my opinion was Caron filled more of a need, but I can see the KEA argument too.

I think a little "Marshall Law" would be nice...

I see your point but Butler quite literally could do anything he wanted to in college including drive and dish, rebound, shoot, play defense, and most importantly be the man. How much better would Napier/Boatright/Lamb look with Butler on the floor?

If you take Khalid, you still have issues at the 3 and the frontline is still a poor rebounding frontline.
 
I always pick Caron in one of these threads, but no love for RayRay?
