I thought I would rehash this post from a couple of years ago to remind myself that we have had some amazing players come through LSU.


My starters plus 8 man bench:


#33 Shaquille O'Neal
Position: Center
Height: 7'1"
Weight: 294 lbs.

#50 Bob Pettit
Position: Forward
Height: 6'9"

#35 Chris Jackson
Position: Guard
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 168 lbs.

#23 Pete Maravich
Position: Guard
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 190 lbs.

#40 Durand "Rudy" Macklin
Position: Forward
Height: 6'7"
Weight: 205 lbs.


On the bench:

Naz Reid, F, 6'10''
Glen Davis, F, 6'9''
Stromile Swift, F, 6'10''
Ethan Martin, G, 6'0''
Cam Thomas, G, 6'3''

According to grok, UCLA had four: Kareem, Reggie Miller, Bill Walton and Gail Goodrich and North Carolina had three: Billy Cunningham, Michael Jordan, James Worthy.

I don't think you could find a more exciting and productive backcourt anywhere. Maravich has the highest season scoring average...ever...and Jackson "only" averaged 29 ppg.

I'm not old enough to have seen Marvich play in person. But still today, for me, no one was more exciting to watch than Jackson

There is no question about your starting five. Ben Simmons deserves a spot on this team. Naz Reid was good but there are other more deserving forwards like John Williams, Tasmin Mitchell, Ricky Blanton and Dewyane Scales. Tremont Waters, Eddie Palubinskas, Ronnie Henderson, Kenny Higgs and Derrick Taylor merit strong consideration in the backcourt.

I suggest expending to a 15 man roster, drop Naz and add Simmons, Waters and John Williams. Tyrus had a great one year so I might even consider Blanton or Taz due to their outstanding four year careers.

Damn, we need a 20 man roster!

The inevitable a-hole makes his appearance, thinking he is so fricking original , taking a shite on a young man who busted his arse for LSU and has a Final Four ring. Shame on you, fricking a-hole.

Garrett Temple needs to be on that team. Was in the nba for over a decade and confident he would lock down any guard.

And where is Tyrus Thomas? No one is scoring on Tyrus and Shaq. It would be unfair.

Fair enough, everyone has an opinion, but there has been no other all around statistical season like he had, and its not fair to judge him harshly based upon the ultimate team finish.
