Interesting Question

[Dogman69]

Interesting to think about. I think the obvious hole is an alpha dog at the PG spot so it has to be Shabazz or Kemba.

 

[Kenny11]

Thabeet just so we could have some threads about Hurley playing Thabeet, Sanogo and Clingan at the same time.

 

[BlueMAB]

Kemba because he was a better finisher. Shabazz was better from deep, but we have other shooters, and Kemba shot the three well enough that you had to respect it.

Gonna go a bit off the board here, I think I'd go Donyell. I don't have any problem with our PG play and adding one of the many top PGs we've had would also mean less Andre playmaking. Adding a legit stretch 4 who can also protect the rim like Donyell or Cliff would be a much better fit IMO

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

The answer is obviously Kemba/Shabazz, but I’m really curious what Jalen Adams could’ve done on a team like this.

 

[husky429]

Caron or Donyell.

I'm not as disappointed in our guard play as others, but I wouldn't mind Kemba either.

 

[NowInStorrs]

I wouldn't mind another year of the Boat show.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I agree it's at the PG position, but I would argue this team is at its best when we're sharing the ball (though I think sometimes we have a tendency to over-pass, especially near the rim), not resorting to hero-ball.

I would add Marcus Williams. He can take over when needed, but is also exceptional at setting guys up and playing within the flow of the offense. He was also a 40% 3-point shooter and great at the line.

 

[uconn_jack]

Ricky Moore or Doron.

I agree. Both have skills that translate to today's game. Imagine if they were coached from the beginning in today's style.

 

[cap10dingus]

Taliek Brown. Distributing PG with lockdown defense and insane leadership.

 

[Dogdeacon]

Ricky Moore or Doron.

Love the Sheffer answer, he had the sharing the ball, doesn't care about getting his mentality that would fit right in with this squad. And he was a big bucket getter when needed.

 

[RJScootin]

All these answers work for me but I’ll take my all time favorite back…… Rip

 

[UKemba15]

Caron or Donyell.

I was thinking Caron. Man that team would be TOUGH!

 

[Austin316]

Marcus Williams.
Great ball handler and distributor.
Would gel nicely with the ball movement, transition offense, solid perimeter shooter, and unselfish point guard.

Imagine Williams with Jackson as a lob threat. Cocaine Bear too

 

[Marat]

Khalid El Amin would be my other choice.

 

[RedDog]

Nadav

 

[auror]

I think Donyell is the pretty clearly obvious answer. But I'll add another name that's a little outside the box:
Charlie Villaneuva.

He was basically a better version of Karaban (good passer especially big to big, could shoot and space the court, bigger than Karaban and better rebounder/rim protector), and I think our lineup and role allocation is pretty ideal as is so I just want to upgrade there. Another fake great answer is junior year Karaban lol. He's going to be great.

 

[FatElvis]

I can't believe no one's mentioned Ray Allen or the high hedge yet.

 

[storrsroars]

Ricky Moore or Doron.

My first thought was "nobody", wouldn't change a thing. But Doron would fit in great here.This team doesn't need another alpha dog, nor a PG who dribbles around top of key. I love the way this squad plays team ball. Only guy I worry about is Karaban, and we have Samson for that.

 

[husky429]

I can't believe no one's mentioned Ray Allen or the high hedge yet.

Love the guy, but I wonder if his skillset overlaps just a little bit too much with Hawkins's

 

[Griffman]

Tyler Olander

 

[Waquoit]

Taliek Brown. Distributing PG with lockdown defense and insane leadership.

His complete lack of shooting would be a big minus.

 

[tcf15]

Wouldn’t mind Tyrese Martin at the four.
