1999 "Potential" Starting Roster
4 K'Zell Wesson F-C 6-7 254 SR
5 Julian Blanks G 6-2 181 FR
12 Donnie Carr G 6-3 212 JR
33 Kobe Bryant F 6-7 191 JR
45 Rasual Butler F 6-7 185 FR
Coming off the Bench…
25 Victor Thomas F 6-7 178 SO
No team in the A-10 could have even come close to this one in 1999. The starting line-up would feature 2 NBA players (Rasual Butler, Kobe Bryant), one First Team All-A-10 (Donnie Carr), and two solid players (Julian, and K'Zell - who at 254lbs. is still the largest vegetarian I know.) Victor Thomas could have come off the bench and we would be talking about that La Salle team that made a run into the Sweet 16 right now.
All because Kobe decided he was too good to be an Explorer.

Good call - we should have partied like it was 1999 that year. Even without Kobe, this should have been a great team. 11-2 at home; 1-12 on the road. K'zell is the closest we will ever have to a real life Neon Bodeaux. 11 boards per game that year. Can you imagine, can you imagine, what he would have done if he ate meat?
sweet 16? With Kobe Bryant? Stephan Curry got to the elite 8. Melo won a championship by himself (I love G Mac too but c'mon.) Kobe is bringing home a banner.
