If you could bring back one player from the Miles era for this season...

[TheKamdyMan]

I posted this elsewhere and like the discussion. 

 

with the season upon us and lots of optimism for the tournament I figured why not have a hypothetical. With the recent opening of a scholarship, if you could bring back any one player, from the Miles Era, for their “senior year” to fill the spot who would you bring back?

 

I would go with Brandon Ubel. With the lack of depth in the post he would be an excellent center to allow Copeland and Roby to move out of the middle. As an early enrollee he didn’t really hit his stride until his senior year and he’s doing well overseas. 

 

My second choice would be Evan Taylor. A guy that can start or come off the bench and be a jack of all trades kind of guy.

Derrick Chandler. No question my top choice. DC was an impressive post defender and rebounder.

 

Then I'd be happy to have an Anton Gill on this year's roster. He'd be a great fit in a 6th man role once again.

The rifleman,  for that consistent 3 pt shooting, or maric for his post play

[LNKtrnsplnt]

Hate to beat a dead horse here but MJ and Morrow would’ve been here this year. I would take either considering our lack of rebounding. Given the choice though, Morrow would be the guy. Tough down low and could always count on him finishing around the rim.

Onviously reading comprehension wasn’t the strong suit for this thread.

 

Auroran was half right though. Miles era only.

DC is always the first guy I think of for threads like these, even though he wasn't one of Miles' guys.

Lol, you're right its early after taking the kids out last night.  Cant a guy be greedy?

It's a tough choice between Tai Webster and Andrew White III. Don't get me wrong though. I'd only take AWIII so I could sit him on the bench the entire season and just have him watch the rest of the team make a run in March Madness.

Either of these two would be my choice as well. Probably AW3 

[khoock]

I guess im taking Brandon Ubel. 

[Norm Peterson]

Shavon.

Dave Hoppen (along with a couple of proven, 6-8 minute type role players off the bench - including a dead 3 specialst) would make this an elite 8 team.

That might be asking for a little too much out of the 54 year old

I like this one.

 

I might consider Jr. year Leslee Smith, too.

[75unlgrad]

I would take a healthy Leslie Smith (his junior year).  We could use a 'blue collar' big man to protect the rim and grab some rebounds.

Now that I'm no longer under a Halloween hex, I'll amend my first answer to B. Ubel as a senior. He was very effective for Miles' 1st year in the B1G.

Colton Iverson

[dustystehl]

Leslie Smith

[royalfan]

WhiteIII as I worry about our shooting and he also is a solid rebounder.  

[nustudent]

Leslee, Morrow or White III.

You could literally bring back Dedoch Chan

I think that would be a bad idea...

I'd still take him over Vucetic

I wouldn't. I'd take Vucetic in a heartbeat if I had to choose a deep bench player that was never gonna see the floor.
