The other thread about this turned into a giant argument between 5-6 posters so here’s a new one and my realistic best case:
G - Carr/Pippen Jr/Transfer, Hickman
G - Fredrick/Keels/Transfer, Askew
G - Mintz, Hopkins, Fletcher???
F - Brooks, Toppin, Ware
C - Oscar, Collins, Ware
I think Cal is pretty comfortable coaching offenses with three guard lineups so I picked him starting three guards instead of having Brooks or Toppin at the 3. Those four frontcourt players would be at least one of the top 4-5 frontcourts in the country if Oscar works out imo. This scenario also has an attacking scoring PG in Carr or Pippen or another transfer and you surround him with shooters in Mintz and maybe Fredrick, also Brooks who can hit a 3 here or there.
