Let's kill some time: who are the five starters on your all-time Michigan team?

Burke, Rice, Webber, and Cazzie are required.  Not sure if you go small with C-Webb at the 5 or find someone else.  Howard if you put him at the 5.

Burke, Hardaway, Stauskas, Robinson, McGary

1- Burke

2- Rice

3- Rose (Yup)

4- Howard

5- Webber

Not sure if this would turn into the pace of an NBA All-Star game, but I'm going...

PG Trey

SG Jalen

C Rudy T

PF Cazzie

SF Glen Rice

I just can't put Webber in there for my own Fab Five reasons...but I will put in Steve Stoyko coming off the bench!

I would play two point guards and go with Rose, Burke, Webber, Howard, and Glenn Rice

Probably the best defender Michigan's ever had and no slouch offensively either. His ball pressure would make up for some deficiencies (relatively, I mean--we're talking about an all-time team) behind him on defense.

Ask me in a couple of years and this will be: Grant, Cazzie, Rice, Webber and McGary. Pretty sure Beilein could coach that group to a championship.

1.  Burke

2.  Jalen

3.  Rice 

4.  Cazzie Russel

5. Chris Webber

By position -- best at each!

What a team!

Burke

Rose

Rice

Russell

MMFMG

I'd probably go Burke, Rice, Lou Bullock, Webber, Rudy T.

Sanction-free, I'd go Burke, Rice, Cazzie, Phil Hubbard, Rudy T.

The other day I was imagining what it would be like if Manny Harris and Deshawn Sims were still here...

PG - Burke, SG - Cazzie, SF - Rice, PF - Rudy T, C - Webber.

Rudy T averaged 25.1 points and 14.5 rebounds a game for his career. All-American and all time leading rebounder in Michigan history. Averaged over 30 points and 15.5 rebounds a game his senior year.

The judge:  Antoine Joubert!

I'll do my starters and back-ups

    Starters                                                   Back-ups

PG  Burke                                                  Rickey Green

SG Cazzie Russell                                     Jalen Rose

C   Roy Tarpley                                          Jawan Howard

PF C, Webber                                             Phil Hubbard

SF Glen Rice                                              Rudt Tomjonavich

David Merrit

Brent Petway OR Manny Harris

Deshawn Sims

Evan Smotrycz

Zach Gibson

Ricky Green

Phil Hubbard

Chris Webber

Glen Rice

Trey Burke

How'd you like to start that team?  Holy shit.  

Webber, Russell, Burke, Rice, and Grant.

1 - Trey Burke

2 - Glen Rice

3 - Cazzie Russell

4 - Rudy Tomjaovich

5 - Chris Webber OR Mitch McGary

I like the mix of defense, rebounding, basketball smarts, size, and scoring. Makes me want to fire up a NCAA version of Earl Weaver Baseball and see how this team would do against the all-time best groups from other schools.

Trey Burke, Nik Stauskas, Tim Hardaway Jr, Glenn Robinson III, Mitch McGary

Starters:

1. Burke
2. Cazzie
3. Rice
4. Howard
5. Webber

Bench:

1. Grant
2. Rose
3. Tomjanovich
4. Mills
5. Vaught
6. Blanchard (victim of timing)
7. Novak (brought back toughness, the tourny, and a BTT)
8. ?

For that last spot there are countless good candidates.  Impossible to pick:

• Tarpley - great player, off-court issues
• Old Guys - people long before my time I can't quantify
• Taylor/Traylor - great NBA talents that helped ruin the program
• Crawford - one of best talents ever, only 13 games
• Ricky Green - don't remember him well enough
• Rumeal - famous for title game, solid player
• Current team - someone who plays big tonight maybe?

Not a lot of love for Bill Buntin even though his jersey is hanging from the rafters, although the competition at forward is fierce.

PG:  Trey

SG:  Glen Rice (just stand in the corner and shoot, Glen!)

F:  Cazzie Russell

F:  Rudy T

C:  Bill Buntin

Eso Akunne

Corey Person

Tai Streets

Elmer Cress

Alex Brzozowicz

(the last 2 are obvious)

that is all....game is about to start
