Man it's tough trying to get the Starting 5 and the Bench right on these lists.

Starters
PG: Sexton
SG: Hollywood Robinson
C: JaMychal Green
SF: Brandon Miller
PF: Reggie King

Bench:
PG: Mo Williams
SG: Sprewell
C: McDyess
SF: Wallace
PF: Robert Horry - 6th Man *1st off the Bench* in a flash.

Honorable Mentions: Leon Douglas, Trevor Releford, Derrick McKey.

This is my list and I'm still not happy with it.

The only 2 I feel 100% on are Sexton at PG and Miller at SF.... those are stone cold locks.

I could easily swap everyone else around though including the HM's.

I feel great about those 13 players though.... you give me those 13 and we can beat ANYBODY else's Top All-Time 13.

I would take Chuck Davis over Gerald Wallace. Especially with regards to their college performance. Wallace way under performed.

The guys I would pick to play in today's game

C - Robert Horry
PF - Derrick McKey
SF - Brandon Miller
SG - Charles Cleveland
PG - Colin Sexton

Bench - Mo Williams, Spree, McDyess
No Hollywood?

I will say though that Cleveland would be better at the FT line against thugball teams.

I took Hollywood because he could really score including the 3 Ball.

Cleveland probably would be a great 3 Point shooter too but alas we have no data on it.

Those CM Newton teams in the early 1970s averaged over 80 ppg with no shot clock and no three point line.

I’d probably take Ray Odums before Hollywood

We have really had a LOT of talent come through the the University ... just wow.

I would have picked Donta Hall just because of his JYD factor but you can't leave off the Mule lol

This was the first thing I thought of -- the NC all-star team would be absurd. How about Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, and UCLA, too.

So who would Duke's team be? Hurley, Grant, Laettner, ...?

I remember when he had 2 triple doubles with blocks instead of assists while at Alabama back in 1996.
I can't speak about anything earlier than the early 90s but man... lb for lb for my money I think Rogers was Alabama's best big man of all time. I know people are going to talk about CM Newton's teams and I have no idea about those guys.

Rogers in his senior year was a FORCE.

The Rockets played really good defense when he was an assistant here (2016-2019).

Disappointing that Roy wouldn’t make a lot of these teams with all that offensive firepower at the other four spots. Roy would own the boards and protect the rim, a much more effective Bediako.
