Before I started this project, there were random players in my head that I assumed would be the top players from their schools, and occasionally, upon further research, I was surprised. In this case, it was former Knicks guard Allan Houston, whom I couldn’t reasonably justify starting over Dale Ellis. Ellis and Bernard King were both sensational scorers, and will probably be the focus of this offense. Houston and Grunfeld strengthen the bench, but a lack of name-brand players up top could hurt.
