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

[orbs son]

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

And Tyler.

Obvious answer is King. However, I'd love to see Jordan McRae on this team. We need somebody that can attack the rim and get easy buckets and draw fouls. Plus his length on D would be a bonus.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Right now we need a PG so I'll take CJ Watson

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Tobias Harris

A player who can score on all three levels

 

[OrangeInKy]

Yemi Makanjuola

Man, you dug deep for that one. Haha. Well done.

 

[Toucan Sam]

Isaiah Victor

 

[rgvol]

Dyron Nix

 

[Sam I Am]

Myron Carter

King and Houston; those two take away a lot of wrongs. Put those two on the floor at the same time and we could win it all. We need scorers that can take over a game. Both could take over games and carry a team when no one else could score. They also could mask not having a great point guard. No question on who I’d want on my team.

Dale Ellis
Grant Williams
Jordan Bone

Please tell me you weren’t alive when Bernard King played here and you’re unfamiliar with his ability and production. Otherwise, you should delete your post & account.

Anyone that says they’d choose someone other than a guy that averaged 25 points and 14 boards a game for his career need to re-examine their knowledge of TN basketball history and the sport as a whole. It’s that simple.

And, we would not have lost to Kentucky twice this year

Myron Carter

And John Snodgrass in the paint.

I love King, and he’s the best to ever play at UT, but Ellis would be dynamic today with the 3 point line…..

 

[BigBadVol]

Chris Lofton was as clutch as they come. He would definitely be a selection for my team.

 

[Buzzbait]

King is obvious but a Johnny Darden for penetration and and ball handling would be lethal

 

[vols 30]

Vegas Davis or Alico Dunk

If DeVoe we’re still the coach he’d most likely have him down in the post 🤷🏻🙂

 

[JMSqb11]

Steve Hamer
Allan Houston
Ernie Grunfeld
Bernard King

These would be my choices,

How about you?

Kennedy Chandler……

Still better than Dan Federman

Has no one mentioned Lofton? I mean not my pick but i figured id see his bane at keast 5 times on page 1. I agree with the PG picks though. Maze, Watson, Chandler and Bone either one would make a huge difference also the wild Card is Allan Houston. We habe a logjam at wing 2/3 but he would fill the single biggest weakness on this team, unstoppable scoring. With him Vescovi would get plenty of open looks. King I dont think would help as much as some think without a PG hed be a 3/4 in this system also he was a terrible 3 point shooter though the 3 pointer was introduced to the NBA in 79..they didn't have it when he was in college. His career average was 17% and he only shot over 28.8% once...most centers shoot well over 25% these days. For me its Kennedy Chandler, Allan Houston or my best choice ZZ.

Steve Hamer
Allan Houston
Ernie Grunfeld
Bernard King

How about you?

Anyone before 1985 would be terrible strictly because those guys dont shoot 3s it didnt exist. Most pre 90s players games just would not translate over. Its not that todays players are better perse its that they grew up shooting threes and having a shot-clock

 

[youcancallmeAl]

I'll take Zakai Zeigler.

 

[VolPack22]

Give me Chris Lofton on this team with the defense we play and we could win a championship. He would average at least 25ppg in today’s game.
