All-Century Hawkeye Basketball Team

[GesterHawk]

I am not 100% sure of my line up, but I think I might have Ryan Bowen coming off the bench. Can play 3.5, 4, and 5ish. Hell of a defender and rebounder.

 

[Fryowa]

PG Ronnie Lester
SG "Downtown Freddie Brown"
SF Roy Marble
PF Reggie Evans
C Luka Garza
Bench:
Murray Weir
Acie Earl
Bobby Hansen

I was just about to ask if anyone had considered Evans, for the short time he was here that guy was a defensive machine. He was top 5 B1G in a lot of defensive stat lines.

With only 8, it’s hard to pick a rebounder/defensive specialist. But I did think of him. Sadly, I’d missed thinking about Earl and Davis, not sure how I missed Davis. But there aren’t ‘right’ answers, so I’m still good with my 8.

Current All Century Team
Point Guard: Ronnie Lester
Shooting Guard: Freddie Brown
Small Forward: John Johnson
Power Forward: Ed Horton (you need an enforcer and he is the last one Iowa has had...Ed Horton scared me and I was in the stands)
Center: Luka Garza

Bench Players:
Chris Street
BJ Armstrong
Roy Marble

Please Note: In 2024, Keegan Murray will replace Ed Horton...not as an enforcer...but as the best all around forward to play at Iowa.

Hope you’re right about Keegan.

if Jess settles would have stayed healthy he would of been there also. Played well freshmen and sophomore year.

 

[HawkeyeTech]

I'll take Ronnie Lester and any other 6 players from the guys you have all brought up. Lester was, hands down, the best college point guard I've ever watched. Picking the rest of my team would be too difficult.

Does it count that Settles was around for what felt like a century?

Gerry Wright, lol...

You ever read that guy's biography on the community college website where he coaches? It's a hell of a giggle and sounds like it comes straight out of Hollywood.

I especially like the part where it says, "Wright transferred to the University of Iowa where he led the Hawkeyes to 3 straight NCAA tournament appearances; this included a trip to the Elite-Eight his senior year."

On a team with Marble, Armstrong, Lohaus, Horton, and Gamble that guy didn't lead shit!

I'm willing to bet he wrote that bio himself and 72% of it never happened.

Lol, that’s why I said he didn’t do much else.

Sir Jamalot has led an amazing life, but I am not sure if he would make the cut for the "All Century" team.

My selections would have to start with Ronnie and Luka. After that, you could argue for everyone else already mentioned.
