Dell Curry, Justin Robinson, Three Terry Taylor's, and enough left over to get two McChicken's and a sweet tea.

Five star get after it 100 percent Juice Key-Playing. MAN

Dell Curry - SF/SG - 6'4 - Shooter
Erick Green - SG/PG - 6'3 - Playmaker / Scorer
Nickeil Alexander-Walker - SG - 6'7 - Playmaker / Scorer
Carlos Dixon - SG/PF - 6'7 - Defender / Rebounder / Scorer
Terry Taylor - C - 6'8 - Defender / Rebounder

Curry-Green-NAW would be a collegiate level Splash Brothers experience.

Taylor and Dixon would do all the dirty work down low to make things rough on opponents whenever the ball entered the paint on either side of the court.

Kerry Blackshear, Deron Washington, Seth Allen, Zabian Dowdell, and Jarell Eddie. Freaky athleticism everywhere, and everyone can shoot.

Curry, Bristow, NAW, Seth, TT.

how much for Perry Young?

Agree, need Perry on the list!

Robinson
Curry
NAW
Eddie
LeDay

With a free Shane Henry and PJ Horne

Here lies It's a Stroman Jersey I Swear, surpassed in life by no one because he intercepted it.

Dell Curry, Deron Washington, Jeff Allen, Seth Allen, Tyrece Radford

HH4455

1 Allen
2 Curry
3 Eddie
4 Washington
5 Blackshear Jr.

The overall lack of size in our greatest players makes picking the 5 pretty easy.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

No Bryan Randall or Jeff King? For shame.

Amateur superstar and idiot extraordinaire.

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

To this day I've never seen anyone take as many charges as Devin. That man knew body positioning and didn't care to get completely run over if that's what it took to win.

I found TKP after two rails from TOTS then walking back to my apartment and re-watching the 2012 Sugar Bowl. I woke up the next day with this username.

Zach Leday at every position and you still have $5 remaining.

Robinson
Seth Allen
Jamon Gordon
Zach Leday
Kerry Blackshear

Would be lethal offensively + best perimeter defender (Jamon) in VT history, IMO

Only person on here with Jamon love, the rest of y'all are turrible people. TURRIBLE.

He and J-Rob are my two favorite Hokie b-ballers...

lack of big men, really telling.

Gonna show my recency bias a little bit, but I want to try another run with NAW and J-Rob injury-free.

"Tyrod did it, Mikey!"

Dell Curry (2), Justin Robinson (1), Kerry Blackshear (5), Justin Bibbs (3), and Jarell Eddie (4).
4 out lineup with plenty of shooting and some perimeter defending. Might get abused by teams with a big 4, but might as well embrace VT being a small ball school. Plus this team can outshoot them

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

No Dale Solomon or Wayne Robinson? Great bigs from the late 70's & early 80's. I'd probably take either of them over any of the bigs listed except Bristow.

This! I was there for all 4 years of Dale Solomon. Great basketball player and a really good guy.

What Capehokie said- no Dale Solomon on the list? I know I am old, but dude was a $4 guy for your list for sure.

Also, to piss someone off on the key play, Greenburg should have spent $5.00 to see Dell Curry play, maybe he would have picked his kids.

lol i just realized that for $14, you can have Robinson, Blackshear, NAW, Ahmed Hill, and Bibbs

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

Custis, Seth, LeDay, Vasallo and Blackshear.

Vasallo had the best floater in the game, and a dagger 3. And if I go Seth Allen then I gotta go LeDay with him.

If we're going with how basketball is played now

PG: Dell Curry ($5): Most obvious pick for me
Wing: Ahmed Hill ($2): 3&D
Wing; Terrell Bell ($1): 3&D
Stretch 4: NAW ($3): Secondary ball-handler with enough range to stretch the floor. Use him as a mix between Shawn Marion and Joe Johnson on the old Suns teams.
Big: Deron Washington ($4): I would use him the same way the Rockets use Clint Capella as a PNR roll man

Spacing would be incredible, a little unsure if Deron can handle being a rim protector.

Justin Robinson, Ace Custis, NAW, Seth Allen, Dorenzo Hudson.

Jrob, Jamon Gordon, NAW, Blackshear, and Radford for my bargain buy. Y'all don't appreciate what a lockdown defender Gordon was. Blackshear in the middle, Jrob and and NAW to score all the points and Radford is a deal at a $1.

KBJ at Center
Washington at SF
JRob running Point
Radford and Hudson on the wings

Never Forget #1 Overall Seed UVA 54, #64 UMBC 74

Wait- Dale Solomon - one of the best of the 80's has to be on this listβ€” drafted by 76rs...

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Erick Green
Terrell Bell
KBJ
Bibbs
Zabian
