I love the die-hard Aggie fans on this page and I thought this would be fun. This all started because I was talking with a buddy about how bad I wish Chima was our big man during the Corey Hawkins days.

In the spirit of Aggie basketball debate, build your dream 6 man rosters (starting 5 + one man off the bench) using any player who has ever played for our squad.

At the end feel free to include honorable mentions who just barely missed the cut. Please start with the team first.

I'll start:

G - TJ Shorts
G - Corey Hawkins
G - Ryan Sypkens
F - Chima Moneke
F - Dominic Calegari

Bench - brynton lemar

Honorable mentions:
Mark Payne
Joe harden
JT adenrele

Let's start with the guards. This was actually a very tough decision as my favorite point guard was Darius graham and had this been earlier in the year, that would have been a no brainer for my starting team. Darius was our quarterback with what seemed like an infinite amount of energy on both offense and defense. When he needed to shoot he would, but scoring off the dribble was a rare occurrence. After watching this season so far, TJ has shown similar qualities to Darius in terms of energy, passing, and controlling the offense but he brings scoring to the table.

Corey - nothing needs to be said here. Personally think he was good enough to be at least a bench player on an NBA squad. Arguably the best player Davis has ever had with Chima being the only other player to battle for that title.

Ryan - I'm a firm believer that if you want to be a cinderella in the big tourney. Mid majors need to have an abundance of 3 point shooters. Ryan was lights out.

Chima - nothing needs to be said here. He's having an amazing year thus far even though I think he's forcing his game more than last year. I mean, we need him to so I can't really blame the kid. Arguably the best player davis has ever had. Easily the best big man and the kid is incredibly fun to watch.

Calegari - while he's not a traditional "big man", I just remember him being incredibly smart and reliable down low. With someone like dom
Playing the block, I feel that Chima would have more open looks.

Bench/honorable mentions

Big men: we are pretty limited in this category. The only other option I would throw in would be adenrele. He was huge! And a big play maker but I was always a little disappointed in his contant foul trouble And being MIA on the score board.

3 point shooting: my favorite team was easily the year with Corey hawkins, lemar, Les, Richard, sypkens, Etc. We were the best 3 point shooting team in the nation that year and I firmly believe that would have been our best squad to send to the dance. My dream team could have simply been to throw Chima on that roster.

I also liked the days of our big 3 with mark Payne, Joe harden, and big Dom down low. While they are all on the list, I'm still a sucker for 3 point shooters at the mid major level.

I have even more I could share but this post is long enough!

Let the conversation begin!!!!!
