I am taking out Fizer and Tinsley b/c they would be an obvious choice, but I am talking about players other than those 2 players.....Mainly b/c they would replace Monte and potentially Niang, and I think we would want to keep those guys.

Would you add Fred? How about Kato? Kato and McKay in our front line? Kenny Pratt? Dedric Willoughby? Scott Bankhead?

Don't forget about the founding fathers of Hilton Magic. Stevens, Grayer, Hornecek, Tompkins...

You can even go way back in time and bring back The Roland Rocket, or even Waldo Wegner.

Who would you add and why? Which would help us the most?

I don't think you take Cato, as you already have someone who is easily as productive (at least at the collegiate level) in McKay.

You couldn't go wrong with Fizer or Royce obviously.

However probably our biggest need would be another 3 pt threat, especially if they can defend.

Willoughby comes to mind. He could D up and was sick from 3.

Kane would be pretty nice as well.

Babb on this team would be a great fit too. He's a lockdown defender, and can hit 3's.

I thought of him and Babb right away to help out on defense, but I think I'd go with Grayer. He was a very good defender too, and I mean, seriously, the guy was a ridiculously good, versatile, scorer that could get his shots off against anybody. His ties to Johnny would make him a good fit for Hoiball.

Give me Grayer.

Kelvin Cato. No one would be scoring inside on the Jamelvin McKayto combination. Kenucky-esque.

If we are talking the last 5 years, I would consider Babb to give us a shooter and lock-down defender

Tyrus McGee - imagine this team with a solid, 45%, knock-down Trey sniper.

Grayer. Now end thread. In today's game of either threes or lay ups Grayer would go off with his mid range game.

Jeff Grayer, hands down. Wing scorer that can drive would be a nice addition. We have some inconsistency there. All around great player.
