Was thinking of this today. If each tournament team could have one CURRENT NBA player join them for a run, who would they choose? We will assume all players are 100% healthy to avoid confusion. Some no brainers to start:

Marquette- DWade
Memphis- DRose
Davidson- Curry
UCLA- Westbrook
Cuse- Melo


* Add as you see fit, or feel free to debate if you don't agree with someone's choice.

Kansas probably wouldn't mind having Paul Pierce back on their team. Same for Blake Griffin & Oklahoma, or Deron Williams & Illinois

It starts to get trickier after the obvious ones. A lot of tourney teams don't have solid NBA alumni.

Butler- Gordon Heyward
UNLV- Shawn Marion
Louisville- Francisco Garcia

Have we done ND yet? we could definitely use Ben Hansbrough. Lot of depth in the frontcourt on this ND team, but we could definitely use another guard like Hansbrough.

You are first, and it would be hard to argue against Hansbrough. Pickens are slim (like many other schools when you look at them)

Cincinnati- In his prime, Kenyon Martin. If I had to go right now, probably Lance Stephenson

A day late for this, but Larry Johnson for UNLV.

Are there two Larry Johnsons? The one who helped UNLV compete for national titles in the early 90's has been retired for years.

Not being snarky, by the way ... I don't follow UNLV hoops and for all I know this could be a "Jason Williams" or "Steve Smith" situation, where there are at least two players with the same name.
