2008 Team vs. 2002 Team

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

To Chicos point -- I know the 2003 team is the most accomplished...no arguing that...but I can't see how they were more talented with Townsend in the starting lineup. Plus, Novak was nice off the bench as a freshman, but the 2002 team's bench included Diener, Harris, Diggs, Sanders...with Townsend thrown in for an emergency.

Also, you're arguing about Diener vs. Henry in hindsight. Henry as a senior was better than Diener as a sophomore. Come on! I actually think Henry was better than Dominic James, just too small. The guy averaged 15 points a game playing alongside Wade and shot 45 percent from the field!

Talentwise, I think 02 and 03 are really, really close. 

Obviously Wade, Diener, and Merritt got better.  You also add in RJax and Novak.

But Cordell, was really good and Olouma and Harris are better than Townsend and Sanders.

Tough to call.  Looking back on this you realize how disappointing 02 was.
