Picture a team composed of these starters when they were in their prime. What kind of havoc could this roster unleash if inserted into present day college basketball?
PG Travis Ford (or Anthony Epps if you prefer)
SG Tony Delk
SG Derek Anderson
SF Ron Mercer
PF Jamal Mashburn
Your biggest guy on the court would only go 6-8/240, but man oh man, you'd have awesome shooters at every position on the floor with some incredible athleticism mixed in as well. A team like that would look like this year's Baylor team on steroids. I think such a group could terrorize college basketball today. If there could ever be a legitimate 40-0 squad, that would be it I think. I'd love to see what that group could have done playing together on the court at once in their prime. While that lineup might not have been ideal for the 1990s when there was still lots of quality big men going to college beyond one year, I think it would have still been incredibly effective. But it would absolutely dominate today with crisp passing and good floor spacing. They would simply be impossible to defend.
