Fresh off Sidney Lowe’s first Raleigh Caravan, our blogging minds have turned back to basketball – particularly, Wolfpack retro. As a fun off-season exercise, a few of us brainstormed about rough comparisons of the 2007-08 roster to Wolfpackers of the past. Please share your own comps and thoughts in the comments section below. Our memories are very sketchy before the early 80s, so we are counting on the collective wisdom of our readership to cover prior decades.
– Degand = Cliff Crawford, Kelsey Weems
– Fells = Ernie Myers, Cam Bennerman, Scooter Sherrill
– Grant = Ishua Benjamin, Ernie Myers, Brian Howard, Jeremy Hyatt
– Horner = Walker Lambiotte, Andy Kennedy, Ilian Evtimov
– Smith = Brian Howard, Levi Watkins, Lorenzo Charles
– Costner = Thurl Bailey, Kenny Carr, Tom Gugliotta
– McCauley = Chucky Brown, Kevin Thompson, Evtimov/Todd Fuller hybrid (passing and low-post moves)
– Hickson = Chris Washburn (without the negative off-court baggage), Charles Shackleford (ditto)
– Johnson = Nate McMillan, Mickey Hinnant, Kenny Matthews, CC Harrison
– Javi = Curtis Marshall, Lakista McCuller
– Thomas = Cam Bennerman, smaller Kenny Carr, Brian Howard
