Why does everyone nowadays have to be the greatest something or other? It's tiring.

I know based on his college stint nobody would put him up there, but Trey Touchet was Louisiana Gatorade POY twice. Kind of the dark ages for Louisiana basketball back then though

Any and every great player before the 90’s.

Brandon Bass should be top 3, Tas shouldn’t be top 5. Big Baby too high. DJ number one...Smart definitely matches up with most. He could certainly be top when looking back.
Tyrus Thomas and Darrell Mitchell should be on this list IMO

Also Derenbecker was the 3rd best in the state in his class, why you'd think he'd be in top 10 over last 20 years? He did nothing in college to make a case for him.

Greg Monroe was a top 10 player nationally and a first team all American. Shouldn’t he be #1?

Randy Livingston is the best high school Louisiana basketball player ever

Lester Earl. May have been a hair over 20 years though..

Does Stromile Swift fit within the 20 year window? I think he might, just barely.
Posted on 3/14/18 at 3:46 pm to kingsdokingthings
Not even top 10. Sorry. Basketball is week these days

Best player to ever step foot on a Louisiana High School Basketball court since Maples Surop back in the mid-80's
I seent it back then and seent it now.
Game as sweet as anything Ive ever seent. Smart takes it to anutha level.

Also Melvin Frazier who took Higgins to the Top 28 and they've been trash since.
In a few years, if some current college players pan out, you could have a lineup of just 8-5A players in the NBA that would be competitive
