How many players from this year' UNC team...

[LarryD]

...make the All-Time starting 5 in school history?

Tough call. Over all Hansbrough would be my best guess. Lawson was the better player this year but not up to this year.

 

[Ballpark]

Do you start Hansbrough over Worthy or Daugherty?

I was going top 5 regardless of position. For me in no particular order

1. Jordan
2. Ford
3. Worthy
4. Hansbrough
5. Walter Davis

You are putting Hansbrough that high because he stayed 4 years as opposed to 3? I can't put Hansbrough above Perkins (I know he's a 5 in college,) Worthy, Wallace or Jamison. But I can see rewarding him for the scoring title and staying all 4 years, and getting a ring which Wallace and Jamison failed to do.

If we're trying to make the best TarHeel starting five though, I take all four of those players before I take Hansbrough. I don't even consider any of the other starters among the list. Lawson had a great year, but I don't even put him ahead of Felton, much less Ford.

Forgot about Jamison he'd definately be ahead of Tyler. Rasheed Wallace I could give a shit about

Yeah it's hard to justify putting a 2 year player without a ring on a Top 5 list. Wallace was pretty dominant which is why I named him, but I wouldn't put him on my Top 5 Tarheel list either.

Might be easier to take the players who's jerseys have been retired (named National POY) and go from there

Lawson>Kenny Smith>Felton>Phelps>McGinnis>Cota>Lebo. So yes, Lawson is all-time point guard for "my life" (85-09) UNC team. I Never saw Ford play.

Yeah it depends on what you're looking for, the most dominant starting 5, or the 5 players who contributed most to UNC Basketball.
