Would think that Paul Baron and Kirk Lehman deserve consideration.

Baron was a few years after me and I never got to see him play.

I considered Lehman but the poor kid didn't have lots of support to showcase how good he truly was--but he sure had one of the nicer outside shots of the group.

I'll add Cory Reed to the discussion. Couldn't score to save his life, but could handle the rock.

If we're just talking strictly handles, I'll throw Zach Kiekow in there. Kid was slick.

Boy was he good. I remember one game . . . before the shot clock, of course, when he dribbled the ball for the last minute of a game, weaving around his teammates with members of the other team chasing after him to foul him and no one could catch him. It was an amazing display. He's a legend.

I don't recall seeing Tom Corde in the Convo this year. Hope he's doing well.

Dink Whitaker and DJ Cooper are tops for me. (I'm not in the mood to list Jarron Simmons on anything today....Or he'd probably be the one...)

Cooper and Bassett were the two best I've seen, but I've only been following since 2001.

If we're solely talking talent, I'd take these two, plus Jeremy Fears. I give credit to Simmons and Geno Ford for getting the most out of their talent, but they aren't as good as Cooper, Bassett, or Fears in terms of talent - in my opinion.

I go back to 1995 for my OU hoops knowledge, so I know there are others from 1968-1994 that should fall in this list.
