Who played with the most UConn greats throughout career?

[tcf15]

Random thought I had the other day. First guy that came to mind was Tony Robertson (and I guess Justin Brown), playing from 99-00 to 02-03.

Ended up playing with:
Khalid El-Amin (2000)
Caron Butler (2001 & 2002)
Ben Gordon (2002 & 2003)
Emeka Okafor (2002 & 2003)

There must be other guys who have played with multiple UConn greats, but would be tough to find a better 4 than that.

Great thread idea!

Ricky Moore and Rash Jones and anyone else who played with Ray and Rip/El-Amin had a lot of talented teammates.

 

[Kurt]

Beverly Played with:
Kemba
Thabeet
Jeff
Shabazz

Probably Caron Butler, he got to play with Johnnie Selvie.

 

[Sibeerian]

I guess we need to know whether Ray Allen ever played with himself.

 

[CallMeBruce]

Kevin Ollie (and others) played with Chris Smith, Donyell Marshall, Ray Allen, Scott Burrell, and Doron Sheffer.

Hey guys, newbie here.

I have a soft spot for Tony Robertson since we overlapped in Storrs, but I think you got to go with Tyler Olander. Olander not only go to play on two title teams (as did Giffey and Shabazz of course), but he also got the benefit of playing with Andre Drummond during his short stint in Storrs. So if you look at it big picture, Olander played alongside 4 first round draft picks.

Kemba Walker
Jeremy Lamb
Andre Drummond
Shabazz Napier

Surprisingly, walk-on Kyle Bailey.

Guys he's played with:

• Hasheem Thabeet
• Jeff Adrien
• AJ Price
• Jerome Dyson
• Stanley Robinson
• Kemba Walker
• Jeremy Lamb
• Shabazz Napier
• Andre Drummond
• Ryan Boatright
• DeAndre Daniels
• Niels Giffey

Even though he was a walk on, he was on the roster from 2008-2012; which I don't entirely understand since it's five seasons, but he played alongside some greats while at UConn.

 

[Penfield]

What level of greatness are we talking bout?

Rod Sellers 88-89 to 91-92 played with-
Cliff Robinson
Chris Smith
Donyell Marshall
Scott Burrell
Nadav Henefeld
Kevin Ollie
Donny Marshall

 

[tcf15]

Yeah, I guess it really depends on the level of greatness, which can be really subjective, but I'm intrigued by that Kyle Bailey mention. Didn't know he was here for that long.

 

[selles]

Kirk King - he came in with the Marshall/Allen squads and went out with Rip's class. Donyell, Ray and Rip is a pretty good trifecta.

I meannnnn it's generous including a lot of those guys on a list like this but I suppose this is subjective.

Could also say Craig Austrie/Jeff Adrien. Played with the entire 05/06 squad with Gay, Boone, Rashad, etc and then went to the Final Four with Hasheem, AJ Price, Dyson, Robinson era.

Pretty sure walk ons are allowed to redshirt and on top of not playing in 08-09, he probably qualified as one in 07-08 and 09-10.

Beverly Played with:
Kemba
Thabeet
Jeff
Shabazz

Don't forget Price! I consider him a Husky Great (not a legend obviously) at the peak of his play despite the obstacles throughout his career.

 

[Scoe]

Taliek played with Caron, Tony, Emeka, Ben, Rashad later on Charlie V, Boone.

 

[Scoe]

Don't forget Price! I consider him a Husky Great (not a legend obviously) at the peak of his play despite the obstacles throughout his career.

He was teammates with Charlie and Rudy. AJ and Rudy were supposed to be the next great Uconn duo after Ben and Emeka,

 

[Kitaman]

Kemba started with some monster greats and ended with a few in 3 years!

 

[mauconnfan]

Mau of course.

I played in a golf outing with Jim Calhoun, Kevin Ollie, Ray Allen, Donny Marshall, Travis Knight, Scott Burrell and a handful of others. This one was easy, great thread!
