Gary McGhee makes the Top 15, no?

@AuRevoirAAC care to defend your inclusion of Wilson? Just curious. I am always perplexed by the general level of positivity on the Boneyard towards his game. He looked abominable to me last season. That said, I know little about the nuances of basketball, so I am trying to be enlightened. This question also goes out to anyone else who would rate his play last season as average or better.

He wanted to make sure we were paying attention
Mickey Mouse would have been to obvious

Its amazing we won 2 NCs in this decade when you look at the best players. Open this up and compare the 90's and 00's 1st and 2nd teams vs these it would be eye opening. That's goes to show you just how damn good Kemba and Bazz were in their respective runs.

Absolutely, and Bazz had Boat.

Yeah wait...of ALL the players in the last decade, why is Sid Wilson an honorable mention??? Otherwise not too much to argue.

Okwandu deserves to be an honorable mention well above everyone on said list except Scoe and Kromah

Sidney Wilson has officially been removed. I guess the logic was based on his athleticism, and being somewhat of a coveted recruit (247 top 100). But yes - performance on the court has certainly been subpar. Many confused “honorable mention” with “others to consider”. All things aside, I hope Sid has a big year for us. Seems like a great kid with a lot of potential.

OLANDER?!?

We could debate this til we’re blue in the face, but anyone with two national championships deserves to be on this list. Especially since he was a starter on one of the title teams.

Having said that, it’s crazy to think that the same kid who started in the 2011 title game as a freshman would come off the bench against UK in 2014. That alone might be one of the most bizarre stories in CBB the past decade.
