An appetizer before the Duke-MSU begins --- Wendell Carter Jr. given $15 to pick his all-time Duke team.
Severe recency bias and does JJ dirty mid-selection...
Hard at work making beautiful things.
I think people are forgetting just how great were Bobby Hurley, Shane Battier, JJ Redick, and Grant Hill.
For reference sake, here's how B/R valued each player:
$5 - Zion, Laettner, Kyrie, JJ, Grant
$4 - Shane, RJ, Jayson, JWill, Hurley
$3 - Elton, Carlos, BI, Marvin, Johnny D.
$2 - Jabari, Justics, Luol, Jah, Nolan
$1 - Grayson, Tyus, Rodney, Ferry, Singler
Laettner, Shane, J-Will, Grayson and Singler.
Beat me, I dare you.
Grant $5
JWill $4
Elton $3
Justise $2
Ferry $1
I win.
Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things. - Winston Churchill

I refuse to believe that Grayson, Singler, Battier, and Laettner together could ever lose a game because of the sheer willpower. J-Will is window dressing at that point. I could substitute Duhon and have leftover cash.
Sidenote: Ferry for $1? That's the deal of the century.
That's how I would spend $5 of my $15, too. Hill is the best at-his-peak player on this list and was on pace to be historically great.
If the $ amounts roughly hew to perceived value add/skill, then Elton is a steal at $3. No way a couple of those other guys (RJ, Jayson, maybe even JJ) should be valued more highly than he is!
So, I am guessing this is college career without any consideration of pro success, right?
Kyrie does not belong on the same line with those other $5 guys.
RJ and Jayson are not in the same zip code as two NPOYs and the career assist leader
Elton and Johnny are both National Player of the Year winners... for $3 each!?!?
Jah on the $2 line is a bargain... he was a 1st team All-American and strong NPOY contender. Nolan is the only other guy on that line who is even worth considering.
Danny Ferry for $1 is a joke. He could arguably be on the $4 line and it would not be outrageous.
