Okay, I was reading the thread about Wiggins vs. Randle and the question of an All-Calipari team came up. Who would be your starting 5 of an All-Calipari Team since he arrived at Kentucky? The team will only consist of players that Coach Cal recruited to UK. So, unfortunately, Patterson and Miller would not qualify. This is just for fun and for good conversation amongst rabid UK fans. Maybe this will keep us busy until the UK/MSU game.
PG Wall SG Lamb (At the end of the year this may go to Harrison. Still too early to tell) SF Kidd-Gilchrist (Am I missing someone here?) PF Randle C Davis (This was close. I just love Cousins)
That's a heck of an NBA team there. Plus, just think of the bench of UK talent you could have.

Ive got Wall Bledsoe MKG Randle Davis
DMC is hard to leave out but at this point I think Randle will have a better college showing.

I was the one who mentioned this in the other thread ... and by the responses so far ... you see why I brought it up. Three responses here so far ... with three different starting lineups. There are so many options it's crazy. I'm sure you all saw the note during the game yesterday that Jon Hood is still in college and has played with 17 different NBA players so far. (Not including the 7 or 8 on this year's team.)
Not sure if this lineup is supposed to be as of right now ... or looking down the road a bit. I'm choosing to look ahead to what I think guys may be like at their prime. I love, love, love me some MKG ... but I think that in a few years, Young has the potential to be an NBA all-star level scorer ... something that I just don't see in MKG. I'm talking consistently 20+ ppg.
PG - Wall SG - Harrison SF - Young PF - Randle C - Davis
Hell ... who knows ... Young may be a 2G in the NBA and you could go:
PG - Wall SG - Young SF - MKG PF - Randle C - Davis
Or I could easily see either of the Harrisons in that starting five. Oh, decisions ... decisions ...

NBA teams play 8 guys and you DID NOT say All-UK Calipari Team so here is mine:
PG John Wall (skillset + athleticism) SG Derrick Rose (3 timeall-star / MVP) SF Julius Randall (unlimited upside) PF Anthony Davis (re-defining ability) C D. Cousins (unstoppable inside)
Bench - Eric Bledsoe (PG/SG) Tyreke Evans (SG/SF) Marcus Camby (PF/C)

Wall, Knight, MKG, Davis, Cousins. I know some of those would be considered slightly out of position, but I think that would be a great lineup

I actually believe Harrison will be a better college PG than Wall. He sees the floor better, passes better, is a better shooter and changes speeds better. Keep in mind - I am talking about Wall when at UK.

Just like many can't agree on the 5 best Seinfeld shows.....we could chat all night on some of the top 5 of this challenge here. I can't argue with the above all Cal team....but thinking of UK only..........I'd go Wall, Randle, Davis, MKG, and Knight (here you could insert Bledsoe, Lamb, or Young and have a good argument IMHO)

Well, I did say All-Calipari team since he arrived at UK, and I said the team will only consist of players that Coach Cal recruited to UK. But, no biggie. I agree with all of yours except maybe Evans.
