Tribe Super Fans of the CSN Boards,

All of those throwback videos from today got me thinking...if we could create an all-time W&M Basketball team (let's say, 5 starters -- and an honorary 6th man), what would our line up look like?

Thornton, Giermak, Lowenhaupt, Cohen, Chambers...Knight. Just some suggestions.

Let the debate begin.

I'll only select players I've seen in person at the Hall (going back to 1980 is my starting point):
3 Guards- Keith Cieplicki, Marcus Thornton, and David Cohn
2 Forwards/Center- Brant Weidner and Nathan Knight

Not bad at all. Since I go back just a little further, I would substitute Lowenhaupt for Cohn. Although I think Weidner actually played in the NBA (so obviously a good choice), I was always partial to David Cully's defensive prowess.

Fuzzy McMillan was the heart of those terrific W&M hoop teams at point guard. He has to be in any top ten list.

McMillan, I omitted, was on those terrific W&M teams of the 1940s that had remarkable records

Cully definitely should be in the discussion. He was a consistent double digit rebounder. And, if I'm not mistaken, he was statistically one of the top shot blockers in the country his senior year.
