Top 10 UK Players By Position; Pre-Calipari And Then Calipari Era

If I were to pick a 10 man All UK team before Cal and then during Cal, mine would be:

Pre Calipari 1st Team
Center Bill Spivey
PF Dan Issel
SF J. Mashburn
PG Ralph Beard
SG Louie Dampier

2nd Team
Center Alex Groza
PF Cliff Hagan
SF Cotton Nash
PG Kyle Macy
SG Frank Ramsey

**3 HOF players, 3 more that would have been if not for point shaving scandal(s)

Calipari Era 1st Team
Center Anthony Davis
PF Julius Randle
SF MKG
PG John Wall
SG Aaron Harrison

2nd Team
Center Demarcus Cousins
PF Terrence Jones
SF James Young
PG Brandon Knight
SG Doron Lamb

That 2nd five would shoot around 45% from 3...Cousins and Jones would kill people inside.

Darryl

How many would like to see a game between these two teams?

I think you are short-selling Andrew Harrison. He is going to be the 2nd best PG Cal has had at UK (and I am a HUGE Brandon Knight fan). My list might look like this and I purposefully leave positions out of it to make it easier for me :)

1st Team:
Demarcus Cousins
Anthony Davis
Julius Randle
MKG
John Wall

2nd Team:
Nerlens Noel
Terrence Jones
Andrew Harrison
Brandon Knight
Eric Bledsoe

I'm a lot younger than you so....

PRE
1) Center: Sam Bowie
2) Power Forward: Jamal Mashburn
3) Shooting forward: Kenny "Sky" Walker
4) Shooting Guard: King Rex
5) Point Guard: Rajon Rondo

POST
1) Center: The Brow
2) Power Forward: Julius Randle
3) Shooting forward: Terrence Jones (I see MKG not as a shooting Forward)
4) Shooting Gaurd: Aaron Harrison
5) Point Guard: John Wall

I'll take the Pre from doc's post

Doc, if you could have seen Dampier you would have him first all time sg, especially for the eye of talent you have. Just pure

I can't for the life of me how any of you can pick a kid you have never seen on the floor at Rupp as a best for Cal or any UK team. To say any of them will be better than Lamb, unbelievable. Randle I can kinda understand because of comments from Cousinsand KWalker but he still has to prove it against college players

Wasn't a UK fan back in his day but did see him play for the ky colonels late in his career. Still going to take Rex

Here's my pre 1st team

Dan Issel
J. Mashburn
Derek Anderson
Rex Chapman
Rajon Rondo

Here's my post 1st team:

Calipari Era 1st Team
Center Anthony Davis
PF Julius Randle
SF MKG
PG Andrew Harrison
SG John Wall

I wouldn't put a player on the team until I've seen him play in a UK uniform. Unfortunately that also knocks out any player before 1975 for me...

Outside of Randle, that game will be played on September 9. Can't wait!

Pre Cal:

Sam Bowie center
Dan Issel power forward
Cotton Nash small forward
Kyle Macy point guard
Louie Dampier shooting guard


Cal era:

Cousins center
Davis power forward
MKG small forward
John Wall point guard
Doron Lamb shooting guard

Give me these 10 Pre Cal players:

C - Dan Issel, Sam Bowie
PF - Jamal Mashburn, Chuck Hayes
SF - Jack Givens, Tayshaun Prince
SG - Tony Delk, Keith Bogans
PG - Dirk Minniefield, Kyle Macy

I'll take the UK Rick Pitino as the head coach, and IMO, I'll beat ANY combo of 10 Cal players you want. No slam on the players, but I think Rick makes a difference.

Those are some really good players. I do like the idea of using two players at each position to fill out a team, especially since so many of them are close for me.
