First thought in Singletary, but Ty is a very close second if not tied for first. Championships speak for themself.

Welcome @UVA804 glad to have u! I think this is the toughest oneā¦as @brogdonfanpage said, kinda depends on what u need.
But if its the first pickā¦super hard. Iām going Ty Jerome tho. IQ, Skill, competitive natureā¦I can build around that.

Hold on if weāre talking first pick to build a team around, thatās a different story than best all time PG. To start and build around, give me Ty. like he can play a bit of combo 1/2 his size at 6ā6 I like big PGās and his overall court IQ is off the chart.

Sylven and Malcalm played PG and were bucket getters. I know why a few are picking Ty. Ty heart is unmatched by the way. But Sean, Cory, Crotty and Mason were better overall players as a pg. Your continue tu sleep on my man Jon Jon.

A player I think we sleep on is Todd Billet. He could ball but was being coached by Gillien with a team of knuckle heads. I never saw a coach waste so much talent.

That is a name I totally forgot about. To be fair the Gillian era did that to a lot of my UVA basketball memories at that time. Basically everything after they hit 6th in the country in 99 was a slippery slope from then on. Your right Tu there was a lot of talent came through in that time that gets lost in the shuffle. Honestly itās what taints my view on Mason. I know he could ball, but all I remember from that time is a first round lost to a then relatively unknown Gonzaga and then then not even making the tourney the next year despite having basically the same squad.

We didnāt have a true PG after Hand left. His blazing speed set the tone for us in so many games. Roger wasnāt a PG and Enifer was just bad.

True, another what-if. Devastating injury that he never fully recovered from.
