To all that responded:

The frontcourt stats tell part of the story, but one must consider competition as well.  I think the debate boils down to Wansley/Hawley and the guys from Wooster.  These guys play in two of the top 4 or 5 conferences in the country. I know wooster doesnt duck any non-league opponents and I have seen Macon's schedule and it has got to be one of the toughest (non league) in the country.  Therefore, these two tandems, regardless of numbers have to be the two best frontcourt combos in the nation. I would love to see a tourney matchup between them.

algernon,

way to dig up some stats.  Thanks for the insight.

Question for the panelists

Is the starting frontcourt of Hawley and Wansley the best in the country?

I know a lot of you are wondering if I set lines for a living?  I predicted Macon by 10 -15 and thats exactly where the score was.  I dont mean to pat myself on the back, but I feel i must.  I also said Wansley would play lights out and I guess I got that part correct as well.  

By the way, did sydney know they were playing Macon last night?  I mean, its a rivalry game against another top 15 team and they play with an intensity level that rivaled a game at W@L on a sunday afternoon.  Bubba needs to get them back on track.  

Macon wins tomorrow by 10-15.  Sydney is not quite there yet.  Wansley plays lights out.  Macon plays d like the good old days of the early 2000's

I have been reading this site for a long time and i had to chime in concerning the best players debate.  You all make valid points, but you are forgetting one factor. WINS. You must put a winner with less impressive stats over a player that never won anything with better stats. All of these players were/are obviously talented and were capable of putting up numbers.  However, not all could win.  A great example is Justin Call.  Call averaged a boatload of points on a painfully mediocre team. Had he played for sydney or macon during his tenure, his numbers would have been way down, but he would have won about 50 more games.  I think he would have been considered one of the best the conference had ever seen if he would have gone somewhere like that.  To average 15 instead of 20 and win almost every game is the mark of a true player. Thus, one must take the landmark players from the dominate odac teams (sydney 03, macon 02,03) before they even consider anyone else.  Jared mills averaged about 15 points a game for his career: a far cry from call's 20+, but I consider mills a far better player as far a legacy is concerned, because all he did was help that team to a number of #1 rankings.  You must consider those who sacrifice statistics for winning
