What Former Volunteer Basketball Player Would You Add To This Roster For A Deep Tournament Run?

[Chemvol]

I know the question asked for one, but I would add two: Kennedy Chandler and Bernard King. They would address almost every issue this team currently has.

 

[vols1071]

Allan Houston... One of the great shooters and a solid overall game... Was an average defender so Barnes would prolly not play him much

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

CJ Watson no questions asked

 

[Pennheel]

Probably Kevin Nash.

Outside of Lofton, that's who I was thinking of. Big Daddy Cool could be a good inside presence.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Does Bob Kesling have any eligibility left? Or Bert?

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Bernard King or Dale Ellis. While there are other former great players such as Lofton and Houston, it’s not even close between these players and Ellis and King. Ellis would be impossible to guard in todays game because he could shoot the 3 or take you down low.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

On this particular team I'm going with a PG, so either Chandler or CJ Watson. Maybe Dale Ellis as he could certainly score in bunches.

I think there are two position where we need help. I would love to have Chandler at the point and Borewinkle at the 5

 

[RockyTopTexas]

Zakai

 

[Govolsman98]

Yemi Makanjuola

 

[Tenacjim]

Most of these guys are way too old to be much help….

Kennedy Chandler

 

[Jravol78]

Shun Sheffield

 

[Post4Vols]

It’s Chris Lofton…and it’s not even close. Tennessee needs a 3 threat that can take over the game to advance in the tournament. That offensive output would cover up defensive inconsistencies and take pressure off JJJ and SV. Tennessee has not had that threat from beyond the arc since Chris Lofton.

 

[Sudden Impact]

You add Bernard to any and every roster. He’s the GOAT and another isn’t close.

Ernie would be great at scoring a basket to end those long dry spells.

Kind of a No Brainer.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Shun Sheffield

Along with Alonzo Johnson inside. The Twin Towers of Knoxville.

 

[Vtonerider]

Probably Kevin Nash.

After the 'roids!

 

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

Tony White or Allen Houston would fit what this team needs
but a more recent player would be Chandler or JRich.

 

[i2amavol]

Zakai

Yeah, Bernard King, but ZZ was a difference maker on defense. That is obvious now. I just want him back.

 

[savannahfan]

Steve Hamer
Allan Houston
Ernie Grunfeld
Bernard King

These would be my choices,

How about you?

First, you said PLAYER not players. I expect I would add B. King or maybe a point guard. No we need a shooter I stay with King.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I'm going to give you all a curveball and this guy elevated his game big time under Barnes.

[GRRN7MAXIMS]

Wayne Chism or Ron Slay, Haislip or Victor! This team needs ALPHA Posts!!!

Ron Slay is one of my all time favorite Vols! He mastered the art of trash talking and living rent free in your mind all night. If we had anyone like Marcus, Isaiah, Ron, Wayne, Grant, CJ in the post we would be nasty. Everybody would be on a Slay ride to the final 4 baby!! For guards give me Tony Harris or Bone at Point, Lofton at 2, some alpha combo guard like Tony White or a Jajuan Smith type and let’s go. I tried to refrain from Ernie, Bernie, Houston, etc as those are low hanging fruit but had to add Lofton bc of todays game and how pure he was.

 

[CAVPUT]

Tony White for me. Given our PG issues, he'd be the guy I'd peg.

 

[DocVol]

Tony Harris

 

[orbs son]

King
Houston
Lofton
Ernie
Grant

 

[LookoutforVols]

Steve Hamer
Allan Houston
Ernie Grunfeld
Bernard King

These would be my choices,

How about you?

Chris Lofton

 

[Creeker]

Ramar Smith, we would at least challenge Bama for number of team felonies this year.
