SJ Mercury's John Wilner Lists "All-Decade" Pac-10 Basketball Team
Another week, another summer list. This one isn't horrible. John Wilner (the former UCLA beat writer for the Daily News who is now over the San Jose Mercury News) has few Ben Ball warriors in the first three teams. But I wonder why JF is missing from it? GO BRUINS.

I forgot how good Sam Clancy at SUC was
He was an unbelievable college player who just wasnt’ big enough to play big in the NBA
"when you've seen how big the world is, how can you make due with this?"

the stanford players
im surprised that he put Childress on the 3rd team and Casey on the 2nd. They were both absolutely ridiculous and both totally dominated for multiple years.
Of the six guards
Only Harden didn’t stay at least three years so that could explain why JF was left off.

Poor Kapono
He had the misfortune of being born a few years too early and missed the Howland Renaissance.
He also had a few rough years at the start of his pro career
A transition which undoubtedly would have been easier had he been able to receive CBH’s coaching.
Interesting
Your comment made me wonder if Kapono would have been a Bruin had CBH been there. I’m not saying that he wouldn’t have, but Kapono doesn’t strike me as a CBH type of player.
It would be interesting to take a look at some of Lavin’s recruiting classes and imagine what CBH could have done with them. Despite his complete inability to coach, Lavin did recruit some amazing athletes at the beginning of his tenure.

That's a good question
While Kapono might have gone somewhere else, I think UCLA would have probably landed Childress and Jacobsen under Howland.
or a guy like Luke Walton
I know this thread is old, but I just got back from vacation and i couldn’t resist!
