Karaban's all time UConn Husky starting five

[Smp7598]

Dude, ray was magical. Best player ever to put on a UConn uniform

Best basketball career, but not best UConn career! He was more magical than Kemba? I don’t think so! Show me the ring!

The debate about the starting five will never be resolved and is an exercise in futility.

The only absolutes are Allen, Walker and Rip. The other two spots are open to debate.

I love Tristen Newton! But he’s not going above Shabazz for me.

And Shabazz isn't going above Cardiac Kemba for me. Kemba not on that list is criminal.

Name a big man better than drummond

Okafor,Clingan and Cliff Robinson. I understand you are just looking at NBA but then Clingan has more potential and Cliff Robinson had a better career than Drummond has. Emeka would of had a better Career if not for injuries that shortened his career.

Here's my 15 man roster:

PG: Kemba, Napier, Newton
Wings: Ray, Rip, Donyell, Rudy, Caron, Lamb, Gordon
Bigs: Okafor, Clingan, Dummond
Def: Ricky Moore, Steph Castle

Painful to leave off:
Cliffy, Lyman DePriest, AJ Price, Henefeld, Burrell, Chris Smith, Sanogo, Thabeet, and so many others....

I would put Cliffy above Drummond. He was a stretch 5 before it became popular.

UConn is spoiled for choice. There are dozens of possibilities and combos with 15 to 20 players that could be argued deserve a spot on the starting 5 and none of them would really be "wrong".
