Jon Brockman?

Went to High School with Jon. Fucking rad dude. Played in WESCO where all his competition was 6 foot to 6 foot 2 white dudes. Throw the ball in the post and dunk almost every play. I’m surprised how well it translated to college.

I interviewed Brockman once when they were on the road and he had just gotten to his hotel room. He seemed like a cool dude.
 
I’d probably move Nate off the Top 5 (if building a semi legit team) as you need a bigger 2nd guard

Both Nate and Isaiah played much bigger than their physical size plus they both had heart. Not to mention that Nate was a freak of an athlete and Isaiah was an above average athlete as well. That backcourt would give other teams fits on both ends on the court.

I’m not disagreeing with you in that they were both special players

But just as athletic ability is a prerequisite, so is size and you effectively have 2 sub 6 foot guards. There are tons of challenges there.

Go back and watch the 1 seeded team play Louisville that was extremely long all over the see the inherent problems that size causes when you don’t have it

They both would cause many challenges for opponents as well. For myself the positives of both players far outweigh the negatives originating from their physical height.
 
I really enjoyed watching Terrance Ross play. Rare combination of skill and athleticism. He could play a lot of positions well and could pretty much do it all. Not sure who I'd bump for him, though.
