Who would you pick?

[LXWildcat]

Give me John Wall on this team

 

[ThroughBlue]

Anthony Davis defense and shot blocking? yes

 

[LXWildcat]

Anthony Davis defense and shot blocking? yes

Can’t go wrong with AD

I would argue KAT on this team would absolutely dominate, especially if Cal allowed him to shoot the three ball

 

[wildcats_99]

Either AD or WCS, maybe Willie because he could guard 1-5. But it’s hard to not pick AD

 

[OldEvilleCat]

BAM

 

[ganner918]

Anthony Davis defense and shot blocking? yes

No brainer, this is the answer

 

[CATFANINFLORIDA]

Either AD or WCS, maybe Willie because he could guard 1-5. But it’s hard to not pick AD

WCS dissapeared in the Wisconsin game, Davis for me.

 

[IH8BlueDevilsandUNcheat]

AD all day

 

[WeWant9]

AD is the easy answer, but I’d take someone like Cousins on this team.

 

[JonathanW]

Obviously you pick a "UK-great". Which makes the option list shortened.
I have to go with AD. We have 3 PGs, we have 3 very good 3pt shooters. Our biggest weakness is defense (particularly ball-screens) and rebounding. But could make a case for Bowie, or for the more physical presence Cousins, since in almost all of our losses the other team bully-balled us and Cousins would not be bullied.

A more challenging question would be which non-UK-great would you pick (i.e. not all-SEC 1st team).
Was Magloire ever 1st team all-sec, if not I would go with him. If he doesn't qualify then maybe Dent.

AD is the easy answer, but I’d take someone like Cousins on this team.

Yeah I agree Cousins would bring more toughness to this team. Something they have been lacking

 

[drawing_dead]

Demarcus Cousins, and it is not even close.

 

[LXWildcat]

I do think this team lacks a post presence on the offensive end. So with that said give me KAT, I believe he was the best post player of the Cal era. It was almost always automatic if he had the ball down low.

 

[BlueBomb]

Demarcus Cousins, and it is not even close.

I like this answer. This team could use that hard-nosed swagger.

He could put an elbow in someone's face while he has them pinned to the floor. And then get up and tell the opposing team's fans to call him.

 

[DreadLox]

Cliff Hagan. A dead guy out on the court!

 

[Random UK Fan]

Dan Issel

 

[Cawood86]

Julius Randle. Dude was a double-double machine.

 

[Bterhune]

I'd pick AD but we are already loaded there. It has to be Issel.

 

[CatPhight]

Either AD or WCS, maybe Willie because he could guard 1-5. But it’s hard to not pick AD

Same - or KAT instead of Willie...

 

[BBNinSC]

This was easy, KAT. He’s the best player Cal has had at Kentucky, IMO

 

[podgejeff_]

I'd argue our weakest spot is the 4 spot, and putting Terrance Jones or Randle in might do more overall.

Plus I wanted to say something other than the obvious AD/KAT/Cousins answer.
