Is it Shaquille O'Neal, Brandon Bass, Big Baby, Stanley Roberts, Clarence Ceasar, Geerk Hammick, Tyrius Thomas, Marcus Thorton, who do you have?

with all of the talk of Simmons becoming the greatest LSU basketball player in recent memory, who comes in after Pete who is obviously the GOAT.

Loved how Ethan Martin could steal a ball. Would turn a game around by his quick hands!!!

If you never saw Chris Jackson live, you just don't know how fast his release was or how good he was, and you shouldn't even bother posting a response. Shaq wasn't big enough to hold CJ's jock strap in college. Also, Stanley Roberts got fat in the pros, but in college he was the guy they went inside to for points. Shaq was just an athelete in college. He could put back rebounds and dunk but had no inside moves to create his own shots. People like Walton worked hard with him in the pros to help him develop some offensive skills.
