If you could bring ONE MSU player back from the past to play now

Since everyone has already called out the obvious top 3, I'll throw Dontae Jones out there as honarable mention...
Starting from the SEC tourney through the Syracuse game that year, he was as dominant as any we've ever had.
He would instantly give us a shooter/slasher that would demand a double team every trip down the floor which would open up either another three shooter or Varnado down low.

I don't remember anyone in maron and whit who could completely take over a game the way he could, at least not in my lifetime.
Give me the SEC/NCAA tourny version of Dontae Jones anyday of the week. That dude was on fire when it was nut cuttin' time. I'm not sure MSU makes the Final Four without DJ lighting it up.
I was just about to post about Mario. He and Varnardo down low would be scary. He had the best skills of any big man I've seen at state. And Mario was a great passer as well. He would open up a ton of shots because we are a much better shooting team now.TaleofTwoDogs said:
I'd take Wiley Peck who could board and defend. We had a bunch of great scorers such as Malone, but this team needs help inside.
We would need a rebounder....yea Wiley Peck too but he could only really dunk. Great one handed rebounds though....I pick Lawrence Roberts over Mario but neither could really jump.. Never saw much before 1977. Rickey could rebound and score....and I still remember people gettin on him for only avg 10+ rebounds...If we needed another guard Malone is the only one on my list.
