Another time-time scenario. You have a time machine that can only be used once, and can only move one person through time. Pick one Iowa State player to help out the 1999-2000 ISU team that ultimately lost to Michigan State in the Elite 8.
The temptation at first might be to pick a really good ISU player, but team chemistry and also the needs of that team need to be considered. For example, you might pick Monte Morris, but that team already had a really good point guard, and Morris would likely just end up spelling Tinsley occasionally.
My pick? Kelvin Cato. Not the best player in ISU history, but he'd be a great fit for that team. Imagine Kato volleyball-swatting balls to the other end of the court for Johnson or Nurse to take for easy lay-ups.
After dropping off Kato in 1999, I'd also pass a note to Michael Nurse to always look both ways before crossing Lincoln Way.
