The UCLA Basketball All-Time Team
So there you have it, a four deep roster for every position on the floor. In chart-form, it looks like this.
That would essentially give us a UCLA Basketball All-Time starting line up of:
Walt Hazzard – Gail Goodrich – Marques Johnson
Lew Alcindor – Sidney Wicks

Now going by this list by position, and considering the talent with this line-up, this is the best starting line-up for the UCLA Basketball All-Time Team. BUT, it is not necessarily the line-up with the All-Time best players in the line-up.
As stated in the Bill Walton slide, Walton is essentially the second best player to ever wear a UCLA Basketball jersey, which means that he needs to be in the All-Time Starting Line-Up. The only trouble here is who do we exclude from the four other players?
Well, Alcindor stays and the back court combo of Goodrich and Hazzard needs to be in the game, which means that we have to choose between Johnson and Wicks.
Well, here is who I would choose:
Walt Hazzard – Gail Goodrich
Bill Walton – Lew Alcindor – Sidney Wicks
And there you have it, Ladies and Gentlemen, the UCLA Basketball All-Time Team and the All-Time Starting Line-Up!
