How can you have an all century team and not include John Williams? I know it's a matter of opinion and mine is he deserves to be on that team over a lot of people who made it. Here are a few other tigers who deserve mention. Nikita Wilson. Derrick Taylor. Leonard Mitchell. Jerry Reynolds. Feel free to add some of your own.
i imagine short stints hurts your chances (CJ was good enough to overcome it). to do it right, they really need to define what they mean. is it contribution, or how good you were at any point in time? if the latter, youd have to include livingston and probably thomas/swift. personally, id like to have lloreda, livingston, darrel mitchell and dupree on there.
That 86 team made an awesome run and had some fine players such as Blanton and Redden but no way they make it without Williams. I remember the game against a highly ranked Georgetown team that year when Billy Packer commented that he was a man amongst boys, 6-8 235 and very skilled but unfortunately left after his soph. season and basically ate his way out of the league.
Wasn't Derrick Taylor on the '86 Final Four team as well? Plus, a 4-year starter. Of the players listed in the original post, I'd say he was the most deserving for All-Century.
they probably shouldnt make the all century team, maybe they could for mop up time reasons but 2 of my all time favorites were Clarence Caesar and Vernel Singleton.
