Very interested in hearing your top 5 most beloved players post Wade (and why if you're so inclined). Yes, beloved is subjective, but go with your gut.

Wes, Dancing Bear, JFB, Dom, Jae.

1) Diener - the play against Kentucky where someone missed a shot (I believe it was his own shot but not sure), Kentucky got the defensive rebound, he snuck around and stripped the guy, dropped a pass off for a Jackson layup, and then grabbed the ball out of the net and slammed it from over his head onto the baseline defines Diener to me.  The definition of a Warrior.

2) Wes
3) Jae
4) Novak
5) Lazar


Next five would be OTule, Junior, Ousmane, Jimmy, and Vander (especially for sticking it to the Badgers).

Lockett my favorite one year rental.

Diener
Jae
Davante
Jimmy
Rowsey

[The Sultan]

So nobody names our current All American???  I find our lack of appreciation for him to be strange, yet someone mentions Rowsey?

[Lennys Tap]

1. Jae
2. JFB
3. Travis
4. Dom
5. Novak

Next would include Wesley, Lazar, Jerel, Vander, Smoove and Mo.

I'll answer despite taking the thread to a negative place.  For me hasn't yet cracked my favs but his work is not yet complete.  Definitely has the chance.

In no particular order

Markus
Novak
The Big Sheesh
Jae
Wes

My 13 year old son Travis voted for Diener.

Not sure what you're seeking here with "beloved."

Do you want to know which 5 Warriors I have loved having on the team since D-Wade left?

Or do you want to know which 5 players I believe have been the most beloved by MU fans?

For the latter (most beloved by fans) ...

1. Gardner ... 2. Diener ... 3. S. Hauser ... 4. Novak ... 5. (tie) Crowder and Butler.

For the former (my faves) ...

1. Crowder ... 2. Butler ... 3. Howard ... 4. Diener ... 5. James.

In no particular order, based purely on their personalities and how fun it was (is) to watch them play:

Davante
Travis
Markus
Rowsey
Jae

I didn't put Travis in here since I consider him the same time as Wade.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

DJ severely underappreciated.

1. Diener
2. Dom
3. Davante

5 jae

I think some of it has to do with how visible they've been since. Travis was on staff, Steve and Wes are always around, Jimmy and Jae rep MU often. And the TBT has helped with that as well.

Dominic should be remembered as an all-time great. But I don't know if he's even been back to campus since graduation. Last we heard he was changing his name and schlepping balloons.

This is a bit hard, but I'll give it a shot.  I'm sure I'll be tempted to revise repeatedly, but I'm just going to leave it at my first gut impression (in no particular order):

Lazar
JFB
Diener
Novak
Jae

He has had a very.successful career playing overseas. Qatar

Andy Katz is out of his mind.

[shoothoops]

Most beloved? All of them. All of the players on all of the MU teams. Team game. Team sport. Next question. 👍

[Golden Avalanche]

Beloved means different things to each person so none of these posts has anything to do with the other posts since there's no agreed upon definition of the word. That said:


1. Markus Howard
2.
3.
4.
5.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Just limiting this to when I started at MU and after

1. DJO
2. Davante
3. Sam
4. Cadougan
5. JJJ

Kinda a weird 5, but that lineup would certainly win some games.

Gonna do the same but go from Senior year of high school.

1. Rob Frozena
2. Lazar
3. DJO
4. Gardner
5. McNeal

(Seriously 5 would be Markus but not counting him till graduation)

Just about every analyst feels pretty similarly about Markus.  You must be smarter than all of them.  I hope you're as good at whatever your day job is as you are at analyzing basketball, because clearly you're the smartest man in the room when it comes to analyzing basketball.
