Just based on NBA success

lineup
PG Kemba (slightly below all star level)
SG Ray (Future HOF, anyone who doesn't have him in the starting lineup should be banned from this board)
SF Rip (3 time all-star, leading scorer on an NBA Championship team, would have back to back titles if not for Robert Horry)
PF Cliff (slightly below all star level made 1 all star team, one of the best 6th men ever played nearly 20 years in the NBA
C AD (Almost an all-star, and just 21)

Bench
Rudy (all world talent not consistent enough to be an all-star but still a solid career, its a little bit of a disappointment though he hasn't made 1 all-star appearance.)
Caron (2 time all-star, 35 still going strong he's more of a glue guy now)
Ben (Solid 6th man, his career changed once he got that huge contract from Detroit, I was expecting a Jason Terry, Jamal Crawford type of career at least)
Burrell( won a championship, Bulls signed him because Scottie Pippen was out till February that year)
Donyell (didnt live up to the hype but had a long career)
Emeka (A lunch pail guy too bad the back injury could end his career)
Jake (long career in the NBA as a 2nd round pick)
Ollie (what better guy to have at the end of your bench, player-coach, undrafted went through a long road to the NBA and of course as our HC now)

We need to add to this list that's for sure. Sad Thabeet, one of our highest draftees, is not even considered (or remembered) and rightfully so.

Hopefully Jeremy and Bazz can get some action/notice.

I might give Jake's spot to Knight, but you are probably right.

What the hell ill add Knight that would give me a 15 man roster. Your right about Knight though he was a 2nd all rookie team in one of the best draft classes ever, including his teammates in Kobe and Fisher. Of course Pitino stupidly but fortunately for Travis gave him that big contract. Knight did win a title on the 2000 Lakers. He's on the butt end of a lot of NBA jokes for being a tall goofy looking white guy but everybody would love to be him, making millions playing in markets of LA, Boston and NY. Going up against Shaq in practice everyday. Made a lot of money in his career, and I'm sure has great stories to tell being teammates with Kobe and Shaq, and being coached by Phil Jackson for a year.

Toby Kimball led the nation in rebounding in '64-5, averaging 21.3 boards per game. He also led the NBA in rebounds per minutes played at one point in his career. Travis Knight and Jake Voskul can't compare? Where do you think he should fit into these lists?

You are right, Per game and career totals Kimball is way ahead of both Voskhul and Knight (if only Travis could have been Shaq's backup his entire career!) even though Kimball was mostly a reserve playing about 20 minutes per game. Charlie has them all beat though in pts, longevity and everything but rebounds per game on Kimball. Charlie gets the slot.

Yeah I put Charlie ahead of Travis, Jake and Kimball. He has found his niche in Dallas, Charlie had a 48 pt game as a rookie, that happened to be on a dark day in Uconn history btw.
