If you could add one former player to the current team...

[champs99and04]

who would it be? I have four guys in mind but I'm not sure which one I'd go with.

 

[BUConn10]

Junior season Kemba Walker. Easy choice for me if there are no restrictions. He is that go to guy this team desperately lacks. He'd also raise everyone's level of play with his hustle, and make DHam into a Lamb type role.

 

[Brochacho]

Pick any one of Kemba, Bazz, or Boat and we have a 15-1 or 16-0 team.

 

[FLhusky91]

How about having a low post presence like Emeka Okafor? He would completely change the dynamic of the team.

 

[Gurleyman]

I'll go Emeka - his post scoring and outlet passing to ignite fast breaks would get us a lot of easy buckets, something this team doesn't get enough of. And Miller working weak side off double teams would be a terror.

me too, i really miss having solid front line play both directions.

 

[D-NICE]

Khalid El Amin

 

[Tenspro2002]

The problem is, this team needs at least two former all-time greats to be up to the standards of the dominant teams of our heyday.

If I can only have one, give me Okafor. Doubles the team's BB IQ, provides an offensive threat in the post and protects the rim.

Kemba/Bazz aren't bad choices either.

 

[superjohn]

El-Amin, Kemba or Bazz.

I don't agree with this.

This is the direction I lean as well. The one drawback is that it would be tough to play Emeka and Brimah at the same time, but I think Emeka is enough of an upgrade over Brimah to justify grabbing the best player available rather than a positional fit.

I don't think Caron would be a bad pick, either.

 

[UConn 77]

My first thought was Jeff Adrien, just to instill some toughness in this team.

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

El-Amin, Kemba or Bazz.

The OP has set the ground rules at one (1) player. So your hand is forced to choose just one (1). I am anxiously awaiting your answer!

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Cliff or Scotty Burrell

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

Kemba "EZ Pass" Walker. A NO BRAINER. 0904 has to know this is the guy. 0904 is bluffing all over the place. lol haha
Get with the program! GEEZ! How could it be anyone else??? PLEASE! lol This team has no leadership. Walker was the best leader to walk through the doors at UConn.

 

[pnow15]

Kevin Ollie.

 

[willie99]

Kevin Ollie

played with toughness and knew how to run offensive sets

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

Kevin Ollie

He could even be the player coach. Kills two birds with 1 stone. Genius!

 

[UCweCONN]

Kemba or Okafor. Donyell Marshall would also be good because he could score from anywhere.

You serious. These guys over KW for this team??? lol lol Its all about leadership with this group.



Trash talkin ya bro...haha

 

[JimHurley]

Shabazz no question. Gibbs and Purvis on the wings. Hamilton stretch 4. Miller along the baseline. Those 5 would be unstoppable.

Of course NO question! haha

Our fan base is just the greatest!!!!!!! Thanks Jim Ollie! lol

 

[Burnsbros23]

I'll take Emeka. Defensive and Offensive presence. I think our Guards have a chance to figure it out. Plus Having Emeka would make their lives easier. Our bigs our shaky.

 

[Brian]

Taliek Brown.

 

[HuskyNationJE]

Hands down, Kemba Walker
