We going strictly by their career at Auburn, or are we going Basketball Hall of Fame style and factoring the entire body of work?

I like your lineup. I think the point guards are correct. Two great ball handlers.

At the 2 guard, as much as I love Bryce Brown - he has to be replaced by Wesley Stick Person. That dude took over games by himself when we had no talent around him.

Small and power forwards are good. Most people forget about Mitchell. He was very quick for a forward and a matchup nightmare.

I like moving Barkley to the 5 spot and pairing him up with Mamadou.

6th man off the bench would be Lance Weems or Scotty Polman. We need a 3 point shooter to sub out when we have a scoring drought.

Scott Pohlman has made an appearance.

Now it's a party!

Those Cliff Dweller era teams were awesome. Doc Robinson, *Bryant Smith, Chris Porter, Fishback, Pohlman, Mamadou. I have very fond memories watching those teams at Beard-Eaves as a kid. In the upper deck of that shitty arena (maybe only seems shitty because the new arena is so much better).

If it's entire body of work it has to be

Charles Barkley
John Mengelt
Chuck Persons
Mike Mitchell
Chris Morris

Those would have to be your top 5 then add Marquis Daniels, Chris Moore, Wesley Persons as next in line.

Outside of Mengelt you can sum it up to players that either played from 84-89, 98-00, or 17-20 seasons.

If you choose to start an all-time starting five for Auburn basketball without Chuck Person, you are a true dumbass.

I'm putting Moochie Norris at one of the guard spots. Chuck Person has to be on the starting squad as well.

I didn't include Chuck because of the FBI / NCAA heat that he brought on Auburn. He also sidetracked Wiley and Purifoy's careers. He can be in the starting five at whichever prison he ends up at.

What about the All-time coach w/ the all time team?

I have to go with Sonny and then Bruce for now.

Ask me in 5 more years, and I may have to change my mind.
