Karaban's all time UConn Husky starting five

Alex made some interesting choices with Dauster. I appreciate him not shying away from that type of question. It's fun.

I get the two championships vs one debate, but you won’t ever see me list a UConn starting 5 without Kemba in it

Agreed or Richard Hamilton.

My top 5 leaves off Clingan, Donyell, Rudy Gay, Caron Butler, Tristen Newton, Ben Gordon, KEA, Sanogo.

Leaving Rip, Emeka and Kemba off is interesting.

Emeka, Rip, Ray, Kemba, Shabazz. Starting 5.

 

[NewBlood]

Tristan - Shabazz - Rashad - Alex - Donovan

That’s my 5

I'd like to know why AK chose those five (although I can certainly understand TN and DC)

There are a billion other threads where someone asked for everyone's top 5. This isn't one of them. It's been done ad nauseum. Nobody cares about yours.

First Team: Kemba Walker - Ray Allen - Rip Hamilton - Donyel Marshall - Emeka Okafor

Each of my first team starters were the best players on their respective teams in their respective eras.

Second Team: Shabazz Napier - Tristen Newton - Carol Butler - Adama Sanogo - Donovan Clingan

Second team starters were the best or second-best players on their respective teams in their respective eras.

He specifically mentioned Kemba as one he struggled with leaving off, but had to take Tristen. Totally understand from his perspective.

Because he had 10 seconds to come up with a list, Dauster convinced him to take Tristen, Donovan is his roommate, he forgot Rip Hamilton went to UConn.

Understand, but if you swap teams, TN is not leading the 2011 team to a title. Kemba would have made the last 2 teams even more dominant

Let me reiterate my starting 5: Emeka, Rip, Ray, Kemba, Shabazz.
