CBR’s Boston College All-Time Team
C Bill Curley (6′ 9″, 220 lbs.)
Fourth in all-time scoring and rebounding.
F Craig Smith (6′ 7″, 250 lbs.)
Nickname was the cookie monster - second all-time BC scorer - all-time BC rebounder.
F Danya Abrams (6′ 7″, 268 lbs.)
averaged 22.1 ppg as a sophomore - fifth in scoring and third in rebounding.
G Troy Bell (6′ 1″, 180 lbs.)
Perfect all-around college player - great scorer and defender - all-time BC scorer.
G Dana Barros (5′ 11″, 163 lbs.)
Great PG - also had 18 30+-point games - third all-time scorer - hard to start over John Austin.
Reserves:
G Michael Adams (5′ 10″, 162 lbs.)
all-time BC leader in steals - great pro, averaged 26.5 ppg in 90-91 as a Nugget.
G John Austin (6′ 1″, 170 lbs.)
probably the best BC player of all-time - averaged 27.1 ppg in three-year career.
F Bob Carrington (6′ 6″, 190 lbs.)
Consistent player that averaged 20.9 ppg in each of his last two seasons at BC.
C Jay Murphy (6′ 11″, 230 lbs.)
Averaged 19.8 ppg in the 83-84 season.
F Jared Dudley (6′ 7″, 225 lbs.)
Great defender, but could also score.
I’m sorry for the players that didn’t make my all-time team - Boston College has produced so many great guards that it made it hard to choose - if I could I would pick 10 guards from BC to make my all-time team, I would.
