Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4615403, member: 833"] 1) The 2004 team is generally considered UConn's best, but Taliek Brown was not a great PG in an era where the PG had the ball a lot more than that position does now. Good bench too. Still my number 1. 2) The 1999 team didn't have much of a bench and Khalid was an odd college star. He wasn't particularly fast, was not a great shooter, and was average defensively, but he could just play ball. This was about as good a starting 5 as UConn ever had though. 3) 2023 team's depth puts it right up there close to the top, but the lack of a sure-fire NBA star keeps it at #3. 4) The 1995 team was a scoring machine in an era that was very defender friendly, and the starting lineup had 4 future NBA players plus Doron Scheffer. I think a lot of the players kind of blossomed without Donyell taking up so much offensive oxygen. 5) 2011 was young, but Kemba was as dominant as any college guard in the last 20 years, and there was a lot of talent on the team. Oriakhi was a really productive forward. 6) 2006 team had amazing individual talent but not much chemistry. 7) 2009 team is kind of forgotten, but it made the Final Four despite losing a key starter. 8) 2014 team won a Championship against about as hard a road as any UConn team has ever faced in the NCAAs. Only one journeyman NBA player on the roster. Just an amazing run. 9) Dream Season team looked dodgy on paper but was amazing to watch. 10) 1998 team was good, but young and not really ready for prime time. It got a little lucky to make the Final 8. [/QUOTE]
