Who is one former UK player you'd add to this years team?

It is AD without having to give it much thought. If he was on this team, it would still be #1 in the country and easily projected to be the national champion.
 
Karl Towns as a sophomore. I wanted to say Cousins because we need some of his nastiness but Towns would be averaging something like 18pts, 12rbs, 3blks per game on this team.
 
if this team had just one of the following players it would make a huge difference and probably give us #9

AD
DC
KAT
WCS
NN

I have to agree with first reply. There are lots of good choices but only one correct answer, AD.
 
I might go with Michael Kidd Gilcrest. He doesn't play the five, where until Skil gets it going, but he was a warrior and leader.
 
Anthony Davis is the only right answer any year for me. He'd make the D a lot better, rebound, help on offense with front court scoring, lead the team, etc.

AD, of course. However, a case can be made for Cousins or MKG. The toughness of those two would be welcome additions to this team.

Going with Davis not only for the obvious but for the added benefit / result in Skal being on the bench as much as humanly possible. FWIW, Nerlens was a very close 2nd for this same reason. Then Willie, KAT, Bowie, dinner bell Mel, etc. After all those guys, I would probably look hard at Jamal Magloire;s 976 minute, 435 rebound senior season. Again, for the purpose intended. It's a long list that would do me just fine. Andre Riddick says hi.
 
Davis is an obvious choice for me, even though there are countless players who could take this team to another level.

In reality this team should have Dakari Johnson and in this years NCAA it would be all we needed to be the favorite. Would have probably made him an early first round pick too. Probably a 15/10 guy and those don't go unnoticed on 1 seeded teams.
 
Without a doubt, either Davis or Cousins. Davis was much better defensively, but Boogie was the better offensive player. We would win it all with either of them.
 
in all seriousness - we need a big more than anything - so I'd go with AD, Boogie or Towns (in that order)
