The perfect 10 man MU roster for 2021?

I do not thank a lot of Al's players would be out of place in today's game. This year we had John at center, who I think failed to average 10 points a game with the 3 point line to open the middle up. Trying to say he is even near the level of Lucas or Chones is ridiculous. They were much better scorers with the lane packed in, because there was no three point line. Image them on the floor when we had Howard to spread the defense.

Meminger and Butch Lee were great drivers. Imagine what they could of done if the floor was more spread out. I think you can see the difference between James's freshmen year and sophomore years. As a freshmen he had Novak on his team, which opened up the middle for James to drive. Without Novak the next year, James became less effective.

The three point shot is an important part of today's game, but that does not mean every player on the team needs to be able to shoot threes.

Superbly stated.

Agreed. If we had five great three-point shooters but none of them could drive and dish, teams would just press us out on the perimeter. Teams need at least a couple guys who dribble and penetrate, even if they are only so-so from outside the arc.

Absolutely.

It's also nice to have a dominant big when you can surround him with 3-point shooters.

Yeah, but Shaq was no Anthony Edwards or Markelle Fultz or Ben Simmons.
