ok....lemme think about how to handle this. Anyone got any ideas?
Actually...my first inclination is to go to an expert.
If either of the Mike's (Lito's or Harris) want to chime in...I'd love to hear the experts take on this one.
EDIT* MAN!!! I just had a random idea that's either really great or really dumb...I'd love to get the T Man's take on this game. I may try and track down Terry Sisisky, who knows...maybe we can get a quick recorded opinion on this game...and let him decide

Sisisky
American Idol Style.
If any of those guys aren't available, I'd recommend Mike Ellis.
I would think that the T-Man would be the best judge in this situation as he is the only one of the aforementioned to have seen all these players play in a Rams jersey.

Seriously?
Team 1 in a blowout. 30 points.
Gerald Henderson had a 14-year NBA career and was part of four championship teams. Harris played in the NBA. Mills was drafted but carved out a nice career overseas. Marc Jackson became a star in the A-10 and spent some time in the NBA (I did not follow him as a pro so I know nothing about the extent of that career). By George Price, I assume you mean Tic Price? Very underrated player who did well at VCU and Virginia Tech.
Team 2 has some very nice players, for sure. But it is not at the level of Team 1.
VCU basketball is a hot item these days for good reason. But high-level basketball for the Rams is not new. The teams of the late 70s and early 80s were really, really good.

Team 1 hands down. A little too much of everything. Way too much firepower inside (3 NBA draft choices) - and Team 1 has incredible length to match its athleticism. Mills and Harris could play both ends of the floor, while LF struggled on the offensive end. Marc Jackson provides power and finesse and has no match on Team 2. Throw in Gerald Henderson - another NBA guy - at the point and the decision is easy. Team 2 MAY enjoy an advantage on the wings in terms of talent, but not enough to save the day in the end. Antoine Willie's defense would eliminate one of their wing guys, leaving Team 2 with an advantage at only spot - the small forward.
This one is easy for me - Team 1 wins 88 - 67.

Sorry--out of town at a family reunion but don't want to leave you in the lurch. Quickly, I'll take Team #2. I'll justify on the boards Monday, but at first blush: Scoring PG who is also a leader in Dom; versatility and scoring with Doles; scoring and atlhetic ability in Taylor; beef (Godwin) and size (LF).
