My starting guards would be Nate Mason and Andre Hollins.
My forwards are Amir Coffey and T. Mbakwe
My center is Daniel Oturu.

My high scoring bench is:
M. Carr fire plug, shot taker
D. Garcia, smooth scorer
D. Johnson for defense.
J. Murphy to rebound.
V. Griers all round game.
Sr year Peyton Willis.
Backup C shot-blocker R. Lynch

No Hoffarber?

I love the Gophers and enjoyed watching the players on those lists. However, the lack of NBA talent in 25 years is depressing.

Kris Humphries would be the most talented omission from these lists, but he also of course was limited to the one year and never passed. Rick Rickert too.
 

Rickert

I forgot about Rickert. I’d add him to my bench and drop Lynch. Garcia and Rickert are very similar players. Humphries left a bad taste in my mouth. He isn’t on my team.

It says a lot about the program that Pryz played about 10 games in the 21st century and credibly makes this list.
 

Second leading rebounder in B1G history is on my starting team.
Yeah, it probably comes down to Mbakwe or Murphy starting at the 4. You are probably right that the nod should go to Murphy. They are really close statistically (averages below) and Jordan played almost twice as many games as Mbakwe.

Trevor: 12 PTS / 9.5 REB / 1.1 ASTS / 1.5 BLKS / .8 STLS on 58% shooting
Murphy: 13.5 PTS / 9.8 REB / 1.4 ASTS / 1.0 BLKS / .9 STLS on 50% shooting.
