Let’s argue: Athletic has put out an “all decade” team for the Spartans hoop team
Brendan Quinn from The Athletic just released an article listing a starting 5, plus a bench & “who we missed.”
PG: Denzel Valentine
SG: Gary Harris
SF: Miles Bridges
PF: Draymond Green
C: Jaren Jackson Jr.
Bench: Cassius Winston, Kalin Lucas, Keith Appling, Travis Trice, Bryn Forbes
“Who we missed”: Payne, Dawson, Nix, Costello, Summers.
Who ever doesn’t put cash as starter just hadn’t seen that young man play.

Jaren based on one year? I mean dude obviously had the potential to be an all-timer at MSU, so I kind of wonder if it's based on that - the potential.
That said, I'm not sure who else I'd throw in at the center position.

I don’t think that’s a bad choice. We’re talking Payne as a senior vs JJJ as a freshmen. However Costello was damn good.

I think CF kind of nailed it. I'm assuming Green would play the 5, since Payne didn't really battle inside like Green. I might argue that KL pre-injury should start.Robert J Sakimano wrote:Jaren based on one year?

I think the real argument though is whether Tum Tum should be the 6th man, or take the SG position.

Guys (and Dendro), we’ve got big games in front of us starting tonight, and I just want to see us all moving in the same direction.

As long as you agree with me we will be. I’m doing my part, you need to do yours.

Looked it up....
Costello was 10.7 Pts, 8.2 Reb, 1.3 Ast.
Payne was 16.4 Pts, 7.3 Reb, 1.3 Ast.

Well that's a healthy view of intercollegiate athletics.

I’m laying my ass on the line. I expect you to do the same.

Here’s to hoping it’s a damn big line.
