Top 10 in last 20 seasons

As we embark on the celebration of 20 years since the Braves went to the Sweet 16,
here's a challenge I present to come up with your favorite 10 Braves since 2006...then your next 6 to round out 16.
(This is not necessarily the BEST players in the past 20 seasons, and can include current players)

I'll go first...this is a lot tougher than I imagined! Just keeping it interesting during a slow time in summer!

Top 10: (Order of playing years)
Cellus
Jeremy C.
W. Franklin
Theron W.
C. Roberts
D-Lo
DB Jr.
JaShon H.
Malevy L.
Duke

Next 6:
T Bennett
D Ruff
Drew (A-Dubb)
Walt L.
DSE (Dyricus)
Donte T.
Darius H. (1st one out of Top 10)

Others I considered, but left off:
Nate K. (1st one out)
L. Boogie
Z. Andrews
L. Lundy (Who can forget??)
Ville
O-Show (Burch)
J'Quan
Left off b/c of controversy or transfer:
Sammy Man
T. Brown
E. Childs (He'd likely be in my Top 10 if not for how it ended)
Terry R.
Mast
Hick

I implore you to leave Sammy IN your list of top guys - he was and always will be 100% a BRADLEY GUY....

His dad was a Bradley guy and close friend of Dick Versace, and Sammy said he wanted to go to Bradley long before he was even a recruit or offered!
And he would have stayed til his eligibility ran out except that Joanne Glasser had a truly intense & irrational hate towards Jim Les and Carl Maniscalco, and when she fired Jim Les, she was not going to let Sam stay and play his final year here - literally ran Sammy off due to petty spite.

That's a real shame Yoda. Who is in your Top 10 (last 20 yrs)?

I love them all....and to amplify on one name above - Elijah Childs violated a curfew rule, but was falsely accused of way more, then
was proven to be completely innocent of all charges, but was thrown under the bus by Standifird who preferred to keep his name out of the headlines- over being fair to a good kid who made one bad choice.

I would list the following 10 players- based not just on scoring ability or even just on talent, but guys I wanted to see on the floor the most!
Cellus, Andrew Warren, Sam Maniscalco, Jeremy Crouch, Boogie Wright,, Daniel Ruffin, Walt Lemon, Nate Kennell, Ja'Shon Henry, Malevy Leons

I guess this is not something a lot of fans on here like to take part in. LOL
Or maybe most are just ready for the next season!

I second what Yoda said about Childs. Guy got the shaft and who knows what coulda been had that not happened. We’ll never know, but that is a season I’d like to forget.

Top 10:
1. DLO
2. Chris Roberts
3. Darius Hannah
4. Duke Deen
5. Daniel Rufffin
6. Ja’Shon
7. Malevy
8. Childs
9. Marcellus
10.Christian Davis

Hard to name just 10. If you asked me tomorrow without looking at my list, it would probably be quite different.

what really hurt Eli's chances with the team were:
#1- that everyone associated with the team was commanded to shut up and NOT speak - and the only public statements came from Standifird, who was CYA the whole way tossing Eli under the bus because he didn't want the kind of negative press that invariably comes against any male in a position of responsibility who deals with these issues. (anyone remember when Bradley President Gary Roberts made a simple, factual,,true and undeniable statement, then got hammered in the media - even nationally)

#2- and that our esteemed local newspaper printed several defamatory & false stories claiming he was arrested & charged with a felony, and that the other three players in the room were also arrested and being investigated.
Of course, the other three guys whose name appeared in the police report, were there ONLY because they were witnesses who were questioned. And Childs was never charged with the police finishing their 6-month investigation and exonerating Elijah, never getting an apology nor even a mention in the newspaper.
