I'm probably being too hyperbolic. College Basketball players are judged(rightly

or wrongly) based on the tournament which is why I would say Laettner is the guy. I think Battier had a great career and if Jay Williams stayed another year and got back to the Final Four he would be considered too. Redick wouldn't even make the starting five in my mind as he would be sitting behind Johnny Dawkins.

I was wondering if professional considerations were taken into account as well.

yep. Hill was the best bball player, Laettner is the best Duke player.

Laettner justifiably is the best, but I put Jay Williams because we don't talk
