Barnes Dream Team

A lot of people on this board have announced their love for Barnes as of recent. Like any coach he has weaknesses as well, but in my opinion he's addressed them very successfully this season. As noted by AW his gameplans have been great this year, when previously they seemed hit or miss. We're all excited about the Horns chances of winning the outright Big 12 championship this year, and the only other time we did that was in Barnes' first year as head coach, when he coached a seemingly subpar team to the conference championship. Lack of depth resulted in a season ending choke, but I ramble now. Barnes has produced excellent players over the years, some great coming in and some developing in the program. Who would you pick for your 13 scholarship players on Barnes' dream team (taking into account college play, not NBA)? Here's mine:

Starters:
Point- TJ Ford (I'll take a distributor over a high scoring point guard when there are so many other options)
G- Maurice Evans (great scorer who's only weakness was creating shots for himself, which won't be needed here)
G/F- Kevin Durant
F- Lamarcus Aldridge
C- Chris Mihm

Bench:
Point- DJ Augustin
PG/G- Daniel Gibson
G- Royal Ivey (most all-around outstanding guard we've had)
G- AJ Abrams (every great team needs a lights out shooter)
G/F Damion James (I'll take his better rebounding over Clack's slightly more phenomenal dunks: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do... )
F- PJ Tucker
F- James Thomas (he was an aggressive rebounder/defender who didn't need to score to greatly affect the game, need him to deal with the beasts)
C- Chris Owens

Walkon:
Chris McColpin

I can't believe I'm going to have to cut you:
G- Brandon Mouton (better overall player than AJ so far, but we need the shooter!)
G- Darren Kelly
F- Gabe Mouneke
