A "draft" was staged among two friends of Krzyewski-era players...5 deep. But there was no consensus among the group of which team would "win". In retrospect, we should have went 7 or 8 deep, but this still has a resolution. Not only was there no consensus among the group, but most whom were asked to pick, couldn't give a firm choice. So, here are the teams...
Blue Team:
Jason Williams
Johnny Dawkins
Shane Battier
Christian Laettner
Shelden Williams
White Team:
Bobby Hurley
JJ Redick
Grant Hill
Danny Ferry
Elton Brand
The proposed matchups should be pretty obvious playing the traditional Duke man-to-man.
We did note that the teams were skewed towards the 90's with no Amaker, Alarie, etc. from the late 80's. Obviously, if we would have went 7 or 8 deep those names would have shown up. So, I ask you, DBR readership for insight, opinions, and analysis...
