These are guys that have never played in the TBT.

Right now, all they have is Reid Travis, Willie Cauley-Stein, and Archie Goodwin. Keep in mind that you are not going to get any guys that are currently in-and-out of the NBA. I also chose guys that aren't dominating overseas (i.e. Hamidou Diallo, Dakari Johnson):

-Josh Harrellson
-Terrence Jones
-Eloy Vargas
-Derek Willis
-Mychal Mulder
-Isaac Humphries
-Lance Ware
-Davion Mintz
-Kerr Kriisa
-Dontaie Allen

If Dominique Hawkins is around, it'd be cool to have him play, I think. along with Derek Willis.
He and Willis were the last two (2) in-state players to play four (4) years. Their Senior year was 2016-17.

Roster for 2016-17

All good guys if they were to play. I’m sure they all have been invited, life gets in the way sometimes, but with the big money now maybe some more big names will play. Love watching these old Cats still doing their best.

I believe he’s in Richmond. He trains lots of players in Madison county anyway.

Who was the 2G who played a couple years ago? Looked like a chick if we’re being honest. I heard he was going to play. I think he played with Wheeler/Oscar.

My mind is going blank on his name. TyTy? From Arizona?

I would love to have him on the team. He averaged 21, 6, and 5 in the GLeague.

It doesn't look like he has played professionally in five years and he's almost 32. He's 6'0" and most of his playstyle relied on athleticism. Father Time is not friendly to those types of players.

Wall and Cousins.

I think Wall’s legs are done sadly but Cousins would be my top pick to add to the team. I still have no clue why he’s not on a NBA roster. He still has plenty of game and would dominate the TBT.

Yeah TyTy looks like a girl. Specifically Snoop from The Wire. As for him playing, HELL NO. He can play for Arkansas’ team if they have one.

Yes ... he has a Facebook page and it shows him training and working with players. He also has a line of clothing and a travel page. He is a proud Kentuckian. He would be an interesting possibility to help coach at Kentucky, actually ...

Cousins has spent the last couple seasons in the Mongolian league. Repeat, Mongolia. That’s the bottom rung for players who’re no longer even good enough to play in Europe, China, Australia, Israel, etc. And he went to Mongolia after things went badly for him in the Puerto Rican league.

So I think you’re grossly overestimating Boogie’s current game. He’d surely be somewhere better if he had anything significant left in the tank.

But I agree he might be a good (and fun) candidate for this. If he’s willing to go to Mongolia to keep playing, then why not the TBT?
