Haven’t seen this thread before, thought it would be cool. Some of these guys weren’t all that great but are the best to wear their jersey by default.

00 Brian Green


0 Glen Davis


1 Tasmin Mitchell


2 Johnny O’Bryant III


3 Tremont Waters


4 Stromile Swift


5 Marcus Thornton


10 Eddie Palubinskas


11 Kavell Bigby-Williams


12 Tyrus Thomas


13 Dennis Tracey (couldn’t find a pic)

14 Garrett Temple


15 Magnum Rolle (it was between him and Jalyn Patterson yikes)


20 Ronnie Henderson


21 Ethan Martin


22 Darrel Mitchell


23 Pete Maravich


24 John Williams


25 Ben Simmons


30 Brandon Bass


31 DeWayne Scales


32 Howard Carter


33 Shaquille O’Neal


34 Glen Davis (freshman year)


35 Chris Jackson


40 Rudy Macklin


41 Nikita Wilson


42 Antonio Hudson


43 Geert Hammink


44 Don Redden


45 Zoran Jovanovich


50 Bob Pettit


51 Shawnson Johnson


52 Jabari Smith


53 Stanley Roberts


54 Brad Bridgewater


55 Andrew Del Piero (didn’t feel right choosing Tim Quarterman)


Honorable mention:
2 Brian Beshara
10 Derrick Taylor
11 Anthony Wilson
14 Jaime Lloreda
41 Justin Hamilton
43 Jose Vargas
43 Greg Cook

You’re right I’ll fix that. Also was tough to decide between Temple and Lloreda but Jaime getting kicked off the team hurt us more than he helped. Not to mention Temple still starts on a playoff team in the NBA.

solid post and that took some time...fun looking through it.

But here is LSU's all century team:

LSU All Century Team

Joe Dean should be there at #34 instead of Big Baby's first season number imho.

LSU All Decade Teams

Some serious talent on the 90's all decade team!

I'll take a tie between them....

Also,

#11 Any list without Anthony Wilson is a joke.


Also, Shaq is of course the GOAT LSU player. But you can't have 33 and not picture Ricky Blanton...

Toonces on the collar really brings out the Walmart in that jersey.
