I like this list a lot, though as amazing as he was, I can't help having the nagging feeling that we would have been a better team had Howard left and the elder Hauser stayed that last season (assuming he was healthy). But I think all that means is that I would put Tatum in the top nine and Howard in the last three and the 12 would be the same. The way we played the last two years with everyone involved was so much better than hero ball under Wojo, and it really clouds my judgement on Markus, who I think I would have loved playing for Shaka.
Meh. Sam joined the defending national champions and went to play for a Hall of Fame coach, and won the same number of Tournament games. Could've been an all timer at MU, but instead is just a guy who quit because Baby Bro couldn't make his own decision and go where he wanted to go in the first place. And he is a total nobody at UVA. Program hasn't been the same since he joined. Wins a national title the year before he hops aboard. Hasn't won a Tourney game since. Crazy.
