All Time UConn Foreign Team

[Kitaman]

Need some help here, need another forward:

Guard: Denham Brown
Guard: Nadav Henefield
Forward: Neils Giffey
Forward: ?
Center: Hasheem Thabeet

Who am I missing or replace for starting five?

 

[Dave]

Sheffer

How old are you? I assume you never seen henefield or sheffer play.

[superjohn]

Uri Cohen-Mintz, Gilad Katz, Leon Tolksdorf, Ruslan Inyatkin, and Justin Brown.

Uri Cohen-Mintz, Gilad Katz, Leon Tolksdorf, Ruslan Inyatkin, and Justin Brown.

Marc Suhr would give JB a run for his money.

RDM, Henefeld is in the OP's lineup.

 

[BearJWS]

Let's not forget our own current players Amida & Facey...
Don't forget Chuck O. Marc Suhr...
Sheffer was very productive player though, so he's definitely on that list.
Gerry Besselink actually deserves some run here too.
Please no Majoke or Ajou Deng.

Gerry Beselink ( sp?) would be another forward. But Doron Sheffer absolutely has to be on starting team. One of my all-time favorite players.

PG: Doron Sheffer
SG: Ben Gordon
SF: Niels Giffey
PF: Nadav Henefeld
C: Hasheem Thabeet

Bench: Denham Brown, Marc Suhr, Charles Okwandu, Amida Brimah, and maybe Besselink.

Even though Ben Gordon was born in England, he grew up in United States and spent very little time in GB, so I don't think I would consider him to be an International player. He does make the lineup look a lot better though haha

Ater Majok...

Uri Cohen-Mintz, Gilad Katz, Leon Tolksdorf, Ruslan Inyatkin, and Justin Brown.

Who the heck are those people?

 

[vtmikeb]

Souleymane Wane. Can't forget him.

I remember him from when I was on training wheels. One Uconn name I will never forget.

 

[BNich]

How about Justin Brown, the big Ghost white Australian?

 

[alexd]

I'm still waiting for our first Lithuanian sharpshooter.

 

[3uconn]

Not quite sure why Wolf hasn't been mentioned...

 

[joober jones]

Ben Eaves. He scored a point for us once.

 

[joober jones]

It didn't strike me until just now that both of our English players were named Ben. Neither were bigs though.

 

[Connecticut13]

Only other guy I can think of is Ryan Thompson, from Australia - hit a couple big 3's against Syracuse one game

Also, from the same team, Sami Ameziane - the walk-on from France actually had a bit of game.

 

[superjohn]

Ace Watanasuparp is our best Taiwanese American player ever, he's also done well for himself in his post UConn career.

Big Ben, Parliament....
Sorry, European Vacation tangent....

He holds dual citizenship with England and USA. He's kinda British-like kinda maybe.

 

[BNich]

I'm 24 and your "picture" wont expand so I cant see what the picture is.

EDIT: BTW Ricky Moore was my favorite player growing up.

 

[Horatio]

A pure foreign team is hard. Lets keep in mind that many of our players had parents that were born on islands and foreign countries : Emeka , Kemba, Alex O , Shabazz , Edmond and maybe a few others but that doesn't count. Also our players from planet WTF? , Like Johnny Selvie and Sticks , don't count either.

1. Sheffer
2. Nadav
3. Denham
4. Souleymane
5. Thabeet

2nd team
