As a way to kill time before Thursday I was thinking about this. I remember our game against LSU and Shaq. He has to be number one. Who comes after that?

1 - Shaquille O'Neal

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Kawhi Leonard?

Brandon Roy was pretty good

Elden Campbell and Dale Davis

Derrick Williams should make it somewhere on that list above - he was a high pick, dominant that year, and did everything he could to beat us in the second half that game we played him.

Drew Timme? Or was it all hype about him? I was living in Idaho in 1999 and that's all the papers talked about.

 

[CTBasketball]

Julius Randle was pretty solid.

 

[CL82]

W.T.F?

Were they foreshadowing his birth in 2000?

 

[huskyjawz]

Brandon Knight
No Ordinary Joe Smith

 

[Scoe]

Michael Redd?

 

[UCFan1513]

Teddy Allen

 

[uconngb]

I'm sure Kobe would say the whole Cincinatti roster in 95

Um, say what??

 

[JayKoz]

Um, say what??

Look to the skies.

It was a joke about how long he was in college.

Wasn't Rajon Rondo on the Kentucky team we beat in the second round in 2006 (a game nobody remembers for some reason)?

Why does my brain not remember this game happening?!?!? I was in 5th grade and my UConn fandom was already in full effect. I only remember UC/UConn in the 2011 tournament lol

I was there, before heading to DC

 

[Coach McGurk]

Actual good players? Or does Joe Smith count?

I think the spirit of the question is guys who would go on to have distinguished careers.

Yes he was. I was at that one in Philly.

I just remember reading an almost full page article in the register right before the game hailing him as the best thing since.....oh well.

Yep, I remember since I attended that game in Philly.

Had a look from the corner to win it if I remember correctly

 

[Skiblets]

Lindsay Hunter should be on this list but alas…

 

[BGesus4]

Teddy Allen

There should be a middle finger reaction

 

[KembaRunner]

There should be a middle finger reaction

Teddy Allen, in that one game, was like a hybrid KD/Melo/Bo Jackson.

I still lose sleep over it.
