All Big East Teams

[chopper]

Im curious what BE fans would do if they could select a starting line up and second 5 of current BE players that would actually be used to play against other conference "all-star" teams. I ask it this way not just as a recognition of who is playing best, but what would be the actual BEST line ups to match up against the rest of the BEST conference line ups. I feel pretty good about my starting 5:

G - Dunn
G - Sumner
G - Hart
F - Bentil
F - Ochefu

This is an athletic, tall, and offensively skilled team with 4 guys who can shoot from deep. Maybe switch Watson for Sumner...but Watson is really limited from deep, as is Dunn (shooting percentage this conference season aside).

I struggle with the second team though. I love Arch, Watson and DSR, but none of them are great defenders. Bluett has to be in there too for guards. Garrett, Whitehead? I'm stuck on forwards....Farr is a lock IMO...but who else? Need a shot blocker IMO. I'm stuck.....

That's a pretty loaded team. I would personally switch out Ochefu for Ellenson, but can't disagree with the rest. Second team, I'm not sure who one and two are, but a frontcourt of Blueitt, Ochefu, and Farr would be pretty formidable. Maybe Brunson and Whitehead at the one and two?

[scoscox]

DSR would be interchangeable at one of the guards for sure. Probably the best guard in the conference.

Forgot about Ellenson, but as good as he is offensively, he is just not a good defender at this stage. But that reminds me I'd want Fischer on the second team...really love his low post game and motor.

I was thinking that it all depends on style of play. If Jay Wright is coaching the team I'd go with:

Dunn - PG (no one else needs to handle the rock)
DSR - 2G (shoot em up)
Hart - Wing (do everything)
Blueitt - Wing (shoot em up)
Ochefu - F/C (best all around big in conference)

Bench:
Arch (off the charts BB IQ; makes so few mistakes; I know everyone else hates him but other coaches realize his value more than fans)
Dunham (hope he gets hot)
Whitehead (more impressed with his D potential; try to teach him to pick his spots)
Ellenson (perfect stretch 4)
Bentil (beast)

Hon Mention / deep bench - Mo Watson; BG Jr.

Roosevelt Jones anybody?

I'd go:

Dunn
DSR
Hart
Bentil
Ochefu

Roosevelt Jones anybody?

How effective would he be off the ball as no one is taking the ball out of Dunn's hands.

Smart player, I think he'd find a way. Plus Dunn can make plays off the ball and post up effectively.
