The 2006 lineup of Davis, Thomas, Temple, Mitchell, andLazare/Rolle would destroy this year's starting 5

first, so you're going to play 6 players the entire game? because if you are, they're going to be gassed with 10 mins left and that proves this team has a better bench. second, temple and mitchell vs tq/hornsby? that's a push at best but i think '14 takes that. pal, mitchell was FIVE ELEVEN. hornsby is SIX FOUR. hornsby has proven he can score tough points in the paint. that is not something dmitch could do.

Mitchell is better than any guard on our team this year

mitchell might not even be in the top 4 of this year's guards. FIVE ELEVEN.

Keith Hornsby 6-4
Josh Gray 6-1
Jalyn Patterson 6-0
Tim Quarterman 6-6

TQ IS NOT better than Garrett Temple

offensively, it's not even in question. tq is MUCH better. defensively, temple gets the nod but not by much. tq is the better player.

the '06 bench was underrated, i'll give them that. but this bench has several players that were highly recruited. i think this team gets the slight edge in frontcourt and an overwhelming edge in guards.
