I'm hoping to ammend this list within the next several years (c'mon Jake, Shaq, etc.), but here's my 3 DEEP, 15 payer squad of All-Time Terp hoopsters:
PG: John Lucas, Steve Blake, Brad Davis
SG: Juan Dixon, Greg Manning, Greivis Vasquez
SF : Walt Williams, Albert King, Adrian Branch
PF : Len Bias, Buck Williams, Lonny Baxter
C : Joe Smith, Len Elmore, Tom McMillen
Lucas, Dixon, Walt, Bias, and Smith wouldn't neccessarilly be MY starters. But I believe them to be the best at their respective position.
MY starting five? Give me Blake, Manning, King Albert, Len, and Just Plain Joe.
I know, I know...how can I start Manning? He's my favorite Terp of all-time. On a team with King, Buck, and Graham, Manning always seemed to be the one with the ball in his hands at games end. Those All-ACCers deferred to him in crunch time. Excellent shooter from the field as well as the stripe. Would have loved to see him with the 3 point shot.
Placed some guys in positions other than what they played while at MD, for instance Buck, who played Center, in order to get him/them on the squad. LOVE Buck, one of my all time faves, but can't see putting him ahead of any of the Centers on this list.
Also, I'm old-school. I have no time for the one-and-doners. Hence, ...no Wilcox or Francis, though they are among the best that have suited up for MD.
The hardest for me to leave off? Johnny Rhodes, Keith Gatlin, the Brothers Lewis and Terrence Morris.
I'm not so old-school, though, to argue/clamor for Gene Shue, et al. My apologies to the pre '70's players.
And, as always... Duck Fuke!
