No...Not even close...He might be a sixth man on that team MAYBE but he is far from the greatest player to wear orange...Love him to death but no....That starting 5 would almost be unbeatable...I would put them up against any starting 5 Kentucky could round up.The greatest player to ever wear orange isn't on there and that's a travesty
Grant williams does more for his team to win than any other player on that list.
To clarify, Grant Williams is the greatest player to ever wear orange?
Sorry, but Bernard King is the most talented player to ever put on a Vol uniform. My guess is you didn't see him ever play in person.Correct
He does more than anyone else that wins games
Scoring
Passing
Defense
Blocks
Assist
Rebounds
Leadership
He simply makes everyone around him much better than they really are
Combine all those things and it equals more wins than anyone else

When we had the Ernie and Bernie show we didn't need the shot clock. As a matter of fact teams were trying to slow the game down against us. Before then Mears did shorten the clock.I disagree with the coach, although I loved Ray Mears. CRM didn't have a shot clock so his guys routinely played 38-40 minutes. His best teams featured King, Grunfeld, and Jackson who provided 80% of the offense. Lack of balanced scoring was a key reason Mear's teams got bounced out early in the postseason. A short bench with only a handful of key contributors wouldn't fly today. A chasing 1-3-1 zone with a 30 sec shot clock would require depth..and more depth.
I'd definitely go with the guy we've got now. Pearl second, Mears third.
When comparing Ellis to any player after the 3 point line was adopted you need to take that into consideration. He is one of the best 3 point shooters ever in the NBA and it is further out. If he had the 3 pint line in college his stats would have been unbelievable.
