Sounds like a great player.
I wonder what Wake's consensus "Top 5" or First Team hoops players would be.
In fact, that may be an interesting summer-time thread here, with each school putting up their First Team hoops players.
This guy should definitely be on Wake's first team.
That's a good idea.
For NC State that would be:
Small Forward - David Thompson '70's
Power Forward - Kenny Carr '70's
Center - Tommy Burleson '70's
Guard - Chris Coarchiani '80's
Shooting Guard - Julius Hodge '00's
Subs would be:
Small Forward - Tom Gugliota '80's
Power Forward - T.J. Warren '10's
Center - Ronnie Shavlick '50's
Guard - Sammy Ranzino '50's
Shooting Guard - Rodney Monroe '80's
Would your top 5 players be different, if not having to fill out a starting 5?
I think it may be different for different programs.
I think coming up with a top 5 players total, without regard to position, is tough enough, so I would accept just a "first team top 5 regardless of position" type list.
I just did a "tournament" style, top 32 player voting dealio, on the rivals premium board for U of L ... based on that, the top 5 (I think) for U of L would be, in no particular order:
Darrell Griffith, 1980, Guard
Wes Unseld. 1968, Center
Pervis Ellison, 1989, Center
Junior Bridgeman, 1975, Guard
Russ Smith, 2014, Guard
There are dozens of others that are close, many more recognizable, but trying to just pick 5, is the hard part of the exercise.
