Soooo, I'm really late with this, but I haven't seen an MU one on Twitter yet, so thought I'd make my own.
Here's $15. Who you taking?

Had a similar thread elsewhere but with a longer timeframe I think.
Wade, Crowder, Jackson, Rowsey, Vander
Not enough shooting but the first 3 are must haves for me.
You'd have to pay 15 just to take Sam Hauser
Virginia paid how much?
Wade, Crowder, Novak, Rowsey, Wilson
Rowsey
Blue
Wade
Crowder
Jackson
Howard, Wade, Novak, Jamil, Luke.
Jimmy isn't worth $5, he wasn't nearly as good as Crowder in college.
Diener
McNeal
Novak
Gardner
Jackson

+1 was going to post that same thing. At least below McNeal and Hayward. Probably others too
Wade
Diener
Jackson
Ellenson
Wilson
Wade, Howard, & Crowder and play 3 on 5! :)
In all seriousness, I think the following would be formidable:
PG - Markus Howard
SG - Dwyane Wade (although he could switch over to the point as well and let Howard play off the ball)
SF - Steve Novak (could have gone with Sam here, but prefer Novak's 4 years over Sam's 3)
PF - Jamil Wilson (best option for $1)
C - Ousmane Barro (I prefer him over Luke for Defense and Rebounding as we have plenty of offensive options)
I'll take 3 Wades and 2 walk-ons.

Merritt should be on there over Fischer or Barrow.
Wade - 2
Diener - 1
Novak - 3
Jackson - 5
I guess Wilson at the 4
PG - Dominic
SG - Wade
SF - Wesley
PF - Jamil
C - Robert
Good balance of scoring, defense, athleticism, rebounding
I went with...
PG - Markus Howard ($5)
SG - Dwyane Wade ($5)
SF - Jamil Wilson ($1)
PF - Henry Ellenson ($2)
C - Robert Jackson ($2)
Two first-team All-Americans in the backcourt, two all-conference level players in the frontcourt, and Jamil provides an athletic switchable wing that defended the 2-5 in college. And Ellenson alongside Jackson would be like a super-charged version of Scott Merritt next to him in 2003 as a rebounder and help defender.
Not to seem racist... but I wonder what record this team would end up with. A lot of 3 point shooting but not a lot of athleticism.
PG: $4 - Travis Diener
SG: $3 - Sam Hauser
SF: $3 - Steve Novak
PF: $2 - Henry Ellenson
C: $1 - Luke Fisher
Bench: $1 - Andrew Rowsey

If you can guarantee me that Jamil would be as motivated as he was in his best games, I'd take this 5 except Jamil instead of Rowsey. Would be long, athletic, tough on D, have plenty of ballhandling, very good shooting except from 3. I'd worry about 3-point shooting, but hopefully I'd have a few chuckers on the bench!
Kind of like the idea of getting six players out of the $15. That way you would have super sub....
James
Wade
Novak
Wilson
Jackson
Bench: Rowsey
Only thing I would be concerned about it is interior defense

He wrote a letter demanding to be excluded
Novak, Jackson, Henry, Wade & Dominic.
