TBT of Boilermakers

[aadair00]

The semi-final of TBT is on ESPN now with one of the teams being Scarlett & Gray, a roster of Ohio State alums with David Lighty, Aaron Craft, Jon Diebler, & other recognizable names.

With Purdue's basketball talent it'd be fun to have a team. Who'd be you starting 5 (excluding NBA players, of course)?

Starting 5:

Chris Kramer
Ryne Smith
Keaton Grant
Robbie Hummel
JaJuan Johnson

Bench:
DJ Byrd
Raphael Davis
David Teague

Just my thoughts.

Willie Deane
Rob Hummel
JaJuan Johnson
Carl Landry

Reinforcements:

Jon Octeus
Keaton Grant
Raphael Davis
D.J. Byrd
Nemanja Calasan

Carl Landry didn't get picked up after Philly waived him before the start of last season, but I don't know if he ever officially "retired," Nage. This team would have a chance so long as Chally misses his first shot.

I just tried to pick players that I presume can still play at a somewhat high level. I believe that Willie Deane played in the TBT last year or two years ago, so his pro basketball experience overseas likely still has him in pretty good basketball shape.

Sandi Marcius looked better than I have ever seen him in the Alumni Game last August at Lafayette Jeff but since he decided to grad transfer to DePaul, I kept him off of my team (i.e. my own rule of no outgoing transfers allowed).

I wonder how much Glenn Robinson's game has declined since he retired. We might have to make room for him and Brian Cardinal.
