Think you're the next Darryl Morey? Test your basketball wits in a fun challenge that has been circulating sports blogs in recent days.
You have $15 to pick a starting five from Wake Forest's five best players at each position. The best player at a position is $5 and the fifth best player at a position is $1. For those math wizards out there, the average salary/player is $3.
Good luck!
Position | $5 | $4 | $3 | $2 | $1 |
PG | Chris Paul | Randolph Childress | Charlie Davis |
Muggsy Bogues |
Skip Brown |
SG | Lefty Davis | Jeff Teague | Bob Leonard | Justin Gray | Tony Byers |
SF | Josh Howard | Kenny Green | Al-Farouq Aminu | James Johnson | Sam Ivy |
PF | Dickie Hemric | Rod Griffin | Rodney Rogers | Gil McGregor | Dave Budd |
C | Tim Duncan | Len Chappell | Darius Songaila | Jim Johnstone | Eric Williams |
As some might notice, I took a few positional liberties. For example, Jeff Teague played point guard most of his career. However, Wake is too deep at point guard and Teague did play off-ball with Ish Smith. The toughest players to leave off this list were- whattayaknow- all point guards. Smith, Frank Johnson and Billy Packer each had illustrious careers.
With a laundry list of NBA studs, ranging from CP3 to Muggsy Bogues to Jeff Teague, Wake Forest should garner up a new nickname for its basketball program.
POINT GUARD U!
What's your starting five?
