Jose was great. Whenever some opposing team's big started to get on a tear or needed to be stopped, the crowd would just start chanting "Jo-se, Jo-se, Jo-se!" Dale Brown would usually wait a little bit, then signal Jose to get in the game. As he got up off the bench, the crowd would cheer. Typically Jose would then get in the game and put the hurt on the other team's big.

I think the starters are basically set in stone, with

Pistol
CJ
Shaq
Petit
Rudy/Simmons (I prefer Rudy, but whatever),

And unlikely to ever change.

The bench is the interesting part- do you take the next best overall guys, or do you take elite specialists? Like I said above, Jose Vargas and Garrett Temple aren't anywhere near the best players in our history, but as specialists, they emerge.

Vargas: post defense and intimidator
Temple: shut down an opposing guard
Ethan Martin: handle an opponent's (Georgetown/Arkansas) press, and apply our own
Darryl Joe: hassle an opposing point guard
Blanton: energize the team with hussle
Swift: when you want to run
