I think this is my top 10 list of players to fill out the roster at this point:
1. Babb (3 and D)
2. Ejim (overall skill)
3. Kane (overall badassedness)
4. Thomas (alternate 3 and D)
5. Clyburn (perimeter length)
6. Hogue (badassedness)
7. Vanderbeken (matchup problem)
8. Allen (3-point & slashing)
9. Lucious (crafty playmaker)
10. Bowie (alternate perimeter length)
1. Babb (3 and D)
2. Ejim (overall skill)
3. Kane (overall badassedness)
4. Thomas (alternate 3 and D)
5. Clyburn (perimeter length)
6. Hogue (badassedness)
7. Vanderbeken (matchup problem)
8. Allen (3-point & slashing)
9. Lucious (crafty playmaker)
10. Bowie (alternate perimeter length)
Yes please! Would give the team some real attitude. (Also can use the infamous butt-out-of-bounds play.)
Thomas has been lighting it up in Spain. If I had my druthers, I'd take him & Kane - but I like all of those choices.
What about Jake Sullivan? He still in game shape? I bet a nickel he can still make a 3 from anywhere.
I’m interested to see how this team mixes but with the DG, CS, and DB we have 3 guys that can get buckets which last year we were one short in that department.
Kane would be my #1 he has championship experience in this format and that could pay off if we get far.
Or Melvin. All three give you some versatility and shooting.
Agreed. Any of those would be great pick-ups. Or Bubu, he is still around and is a great, unselfish, pass-first teammate. I think you need a guy or two like that to add to this team. Now, I definitely think Ejim and Thomas would fit right in, but you can't have too many stars.
If this roster continues to fill out, it will be stacked individual talent-wise. That said, I hope they will gel and each accept a role. It is hard when you play for your own pro team more, and then have to come off the bench. Plus, all of these guys may be thinking about their contracts. They are older and wiser than when they played at ISU. They all have limited time left to make some money playing ball. If I was in their shoes, it would be hard not to think about trying to play great to secure a contract or at least a good look from some other teams.
There are a couple big egos on the team already (not going to name any names). That said, there are a lot of unselfish and great teammates too, and you got to have some kind of ego to be a player. Will be fun to watch this year, I think!
Jamaal is officially retired from playing the game of basketball in any form
To update the fan base, and bring down some expectations that cannot be met.. Melvin and Matt will not be able to participate this year. We tried working out the logistics and timing, but they simply cannot make it. A lot of these overseas players get a maximum of 3 months off from playing, and they have a lot of personal life things they want to do; explore, see family, get married (Ejim last year), etc. They both wish us and #cyclONEnation the best, but cannot make it.
Is Craig Brackins a possibility? I know we have Royce and Jameel already but CB was damn good back in the day and is a decent 3pt shooter for his size.
Well then, give me babb and Kane and call it a day
A new TBT Power Rankings comes out today. I'd expect the Hilton Magic Legends to make an appearance (they weren't eligible for the previous ranking).

It is very hard to get the 1st year guys on the team as they all try to make summer NBA camps and have many, many tryouts throughout the nation to get exposure. Maybe next year!
