re: LSU Basketball All Star Team

In terms of depth, Kentucky could go 50 deep on LSU, but you don't play 50 players. LSU's next 5 would be littered with SEC POY winners, i.e. the best player in the SEC for a year - on the bench. In the 2000s alone Glen David, Brandon Bass, Stromile Swift, and Marcus Thornton were all the best player in the conference one year. And they are all on the bench.

Exactly. Other teams would have a little better depth, but how much do you need really with the starting 5 we would have. People really think guys like Tyrus Thomas couldn't come in and play a few minutes for Bob Petit, enough to still win? Of course they would. Our starting 5 would be just nasty, and the bench would be enough to get by on anyone. Now the problem we would truly have is who would coach this team? UCLA would have Wooden. UK would have Rupp. UNC would have Smith. Duke would have K. We would have trouble there.
