Cal in the NBA starting 5: Kidd, Jorge, Murray, Shareef, Powe. Almost seems a no-brainer this five. I could see toggling Randle or Gray for Jorge, but I could also see Jorge shutting those two gunners right tf down. Damn, I miss Jorge sometimes. #mancrush
Man, Charlie Moore was going to be the ideal Cal player. Hard-playing non-traditionally sized player with better skills than 99% of the other guys on the court. One of many travesties of the last 5 years of Cal men's basketball.
Question: how is he on his third team in four years, with one year of eligibility left? He played at Cal 2016–17, sat out 2017–18 at Kansas, played 2018–19, and played 2019–20 at Depaul, with one year left of eligibility. He should've had to sit out again after transferring to Depaul, right? Or did he get his Bachelors at Kansas (after 1 year at Cal + 2 at KU), making him immediately eligible as a grad transfer? Or or is this just another example of transfer rules not making any sense/not being applied the same to everyone?
How do you leave off one of the few Pac 10/12 Players of the Year we've ever had for Jamal Sampson and Cisco Elson? Oh, I see, it's for Bears who went onto the NBA.
I finally get to have my 5 wings team (which is really short hand for I want 5 guys between 6'4" and 6'8")
Jason Kidd
Jaylen Brown
Ty Wallace
Lamond Murray (who led the Pac-10 in rebounds!)
Patrick Christopher
but here's how I'd answer my own question:
PG - Jason Kidd - one of the 3-6 best point guards to ever play basketball depending on how you're listing them.
SG - I would love to throw Jaylen here, but he was so iffy at the end of his freshman season, and also a Brown/Kidd backcourt would be terrible for shooting, so let's take Jerome off the ball and let him run off picks and catch-and-shoot. He can guard the 1 on the other side. If that doesn't work for you, let's put Ed Gray here, so we can also get some mean-ass dunks.
SF - Lamond Murray - led the Pac-10 in scoring and rebounding at 6'7". Also, one of the crispiest hairlines to ever play at Cal.
PF - Shareef. The Future - unstoppable on the block. I think in 2020, he adds a 3 point shot, because he could shoot it out to 18' with ease his one year at Cal.
C - Toggling between Leon Powe and Ryan Anderson here, but in the end I love shooting, especially if we're going to have 'Reef taking up some post-up space, and we'll use Ryno as a stretch 5.
I can't believe you used the term "throwback fro" and didn't think to call it a "'fro back"

MLB set to vote on starting season in July.
Love your take, Nick....here's another...
PG - Jason Kidd ($5)
SG - Ed Gray ($4)
SF - Theo Robertson ($0)
PF - Sean Lampley ($3)
C - Sean Marks ($3)
I could play this game all day...
