So what is your dream roster. You are allowed to pick 8 guys and all must be Miller or Lloyd players.  My 8 players, Gordon, Johnson, Lauri, TJ, Williams, Benn, Ashley and Green
BTFD!

It was hard to leave off guys like Zeke, KJ, Ashley, Lauri, Benn, Koloko, etc.

Those are all Miller guys.

In fact, everyone has Miller guys except 1 name. Go figure.

KansasCityCats

That's because he recruited talented guys that didn't care about winning as a team. Over a 10 year span, you can count the amount of players on one hand that played with passion.

Yes, plenty of talented "individuals". And yes, I'd add them all to my "dream team" (but not necessarily my college team).

That makes no sense as he made 3 Elite Eights and 2 Sweet 16's were he lost what? 4 of them by a total number of points that can be counted on 2 hands combined? Miller had his teams playing high level games and had them playing as teams all the way down to coaching them to final shots/ getting beat on a buzzer beater.I don't think Tommy's "mercenaries" enjoy playing together like you think they do. They enjoy their check's clearing though while they work on their Individual games.

The best 8 player roster in this era is undoubtedly

TJ McConnell
Nick Johnson
Aaron Gordon
Derrick Williams
DeAndre Ayton

Solomon Hill
Brandon Ashley
Lauri Markkenen

KansasCityCats

Correct. We continually lost close games because the ball was in the hands of selfish guys like Zo, who were treated like future NBA stars, not Final Four winners.

(And yes, the NJ charge was BS. I'm still angry about it today and that 2011 team was an amazing exception).

That roster wouldn't make it past the elite eight. Not enough 3 point shooting.
