Title: FANTASY STARTING 5 AND 3 SUBS ALL TIME ILLINI
Post by: ILLINICHIEF on June 09, 2023, 11:41:22 AM: Found this today, thought it would make for an interesting back and forth since it is June and off season.

https://www.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/articles/illinois_basketball_fantasy_starting_five_and_3_subs/s1_17169_38899583

Starting 5 for me all time: (college only-pro play don't count)

Dee Brown-His play/demeanor put the focus on ILLINI and that special run.

Kendall Gill - All time ILLINI flyer, enough said.

Nick Anderson - All time great, could play inside/out-G/F positions and carried on Benji Wilson Legacy with (25).

Nick Witherspoon - The original Double-Double player

Dion Thomas - Anchor for the All Time in the middle

Subs: Deron Williams - James Augustine - Eddie Johnson/Ken Norman (tie)

Post by: Jrock74 on June 09, 2023, 11:50:55 AM: you could do this 2 ways best player by position or best team. I think you would get 2 different rosters.

My take is this.

PG - Frank Williams
SG - Eddie Johnson/Kendall Gill
SF - Nick Anderson
PF - Deon Thomas/Ken Norman
PF - Brian Cook/Kofi Cochburn

Post by: illinicalvin on June 11, 2023, 03:55:28 PM: For today's college game, Deron Williams, Dee Brown, Frank Williams, Nick Anderson, Kenny Battle, Sergio McClain, Brian Cook, James Augustine. They can sort out who starts at any given time.

Next up would be Ayo Donsunmu and Deon Thomas. End of bench practice/spare guys would be Rayvonte Rice, Roger Powell, and Meyers Leonard.

Post by: Gokuwearsorange/blue on June 12, 2023, 07:27:11 PM: If every big ten team was given the chance to construct an all-time team & all of the these teams played a hypothetical season against each other.

Illinois would be lucky to finish 8th.

Post by: illiniray on June 12, 2023, 10:43:00 PM: IU and Michigan are probably at the top. Followed by MSU and tOSU. We might be in the top 5. Minny would be competitive.
