Interestingly enough, I think that's what I would say also.IceManLikeGervin said:Going from what I saw growing up which would start in the 1980s I would go with:

Isaiah Stewart would have probably made the list had he stayed another couple of years
-
Jon Brockman?
-
He was a very good Husky but there are only 5 spots. He would be on my second team.greenblood said:Jon Brockman?

I didn't consider any of the very talented one and done players to no fault of their own but they just weren't around long enough. Still have much respect for their collective talent level and appreciate that they played for the UW. Once a Dawg always a Dawg...bow wow wow yippie yo yippie ya!!DerekJohnson said:Isaiah Stewart would have probably made the list had he stayed another couple of years

I’d probably move Nate off the Top 5 (if building a semi legit team) as you need a bigger 2nd guard

That's a fair point, so whom would replace him with?Tequilla said:I’d probably move Nate off the Top 5 (if building a semi legit team) as you need a bigger 2nd guard

Probably Eldridge Recasner

Eldridge got very upset about my article where I interviewed him about Hurricane Katrina. It can now be found under the byline of one Chris FettersTequilla said:Probably Eldridge Recasner

I’m a big proponent of acting ethically and with integrity ... intentionally stealing someone else’s work and calling it one’s own is about as low as you can get for me

Both Nate and Isaiah played much bigger than their physical size plus they both had heart. Not to mention that Nate was a freak of an athlete and Isaiah was an above average athlete as well. That backcourt would give other teams fits on both ends on the court.Tequilla said:I’d probably move Nate off the Top 5 (if building a semi legit team) as you need a bigger 2nd guard

Throw in Matisse as the 6th man defensive stopper and you got yourself a sqwuaaaaaadIceManLikeGervin said:Going from what I saw growing up which would start in the 1980s I would go with:

I’m not disagreeing with you in that they were both special playersIceManLikeGervin said:

But just as athletic ability is a prerequisite, so is size and you effectively have 2 sub 6 foot guards. There are tons of challenges there.
Go back and watch the 1 seeded team play Louisville that was extremely long all over the see the inherent problems that size causes when you don’t have it -
James Edwards >>> Welp

Might even win a game in dance with Hopkins at helmEdwin_Bambino said:

Went to High School with Jon. Fucking rad dude. Played in WESCO where all his competition was 6 foot to 6 foot 2 white dudes. Throw the ball in the post and dunk almost every play. I’m surprised how well it translated to college.greenblood said:Jon Brockman?

I wondered if Todd MacCulloch should make this list, his wiki page says that he averaged 25 pts 16 rebs in college. If that were true (it's not), he'd make this team.

I interviewed Brockman once when they were on the road and he had just gotten to his hotel room. He seemed like a cool dude.CuntWaffle said:

He was borderline great his senior year.MRT said:I wondered if Todd MacCulloch should make this list, his wiki page says that he averaged 25 pts 16 rebs in college. If that were true (it's not), he'd make this team.

They both would cause many challenges for opponents as well. For myself the positives of both players far outweigh the negatives originating from their physical height.Tequilla said:

I never saw James Edwards play at the UW. I went with the players that I saw play at the UW firsthand.RaceBannon said:James Edwards >>> Welp
James Edwards was a very good player at the UW https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/james-edwards-1.html . And I have no issues with anyone placing him in their all time Husky starting 5. -
I saw him play but I was about 5 years old and barely rememberIceManLikeGervin said:

I really enjoyed watching Terrance Ross play. Rare combination of skill and athleticism. He could play a lot of positions well and could pretty much do it all. Not sure who I'd bump for him, though.

That dude was legit. Good player. Probably not too 5 though.MRT said:I wondered if Todd MacCulloch should make this list, his wiki page says that he averaged 25 pts 16 rebs in college. If that were true (it's not), he'd make this team.
