To be fair, I’d probably take Sarr over Brooks. Considering Brooks is the only player that’s played for us before who is on a 2020’s team so far if you start the 2020’s with this coming year, it’s gonna be tough not to go with Sarr or one of our superstar freshmen.

 

[BlueInBrooklyn]

60 Issel
70 Givens
80 Macy
90 Mashburn
00 Prince
10 Davis

How in God's name did it take this long for someone to post Mashburn? No way Mercer/Delk are better pick than Mashburn, arguably one of the top 5 players in UK history.

 

[Blueaz]

Kanter, Kemp, Sampson....

 

[true-blue1]

Issel
Chapman
Mashburn
Wall
Davis

Possibly because the OP specifically excluded him, Davis, & Issel
