    Pardon the cliche, but just for fun... If we did field a Longhorn all-star team, could it compete at the NBA team level?

    5--Tristan Thompson
    4--LaMarcus Aldridge
    3--Myles Turner/PJ Tucker/Jordan Hamilton
    2--Kevin Durant/DJ Augustin
    1--Avery Bradley/Cory Joseph

    So, UCLA is pretty stacked:

    5--Kevin Love
    4--Matt Barnes
    3--Trevor Ariza
    2--Russell Westbrook, Jrue Holiday
    1--Jordan Farmar, Zach Levine, Darren Collison

    Basically, neither team could guard each other.

    Kentucky is probably pretty phenomenal; I guess I'll take a look.

    I don't know all these Kentucky players--it looks like they could field 2 or 3 teams-- but I suppose it could go:

    5--DeMarcus Cousins
    4--Anthony Davis
    3--Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
    2--Eric Bledsoe
    1--John Wall

    A very complete team, with those big guys. Maybe you guys who know their players better could start a better UK team.

    Our former longhorns look pretty good in these playoffs.

    Shaka really needs to get on that alumni game plan.
