Not most important (e.g., Berry was probably more important than Meeks, because Meeks had a better backup), but best.

Just curious.
 
Ya, gotta be JJ, JB, KM.

There were times that Hicks looked like he was #2 on that list, but there were also times that he looked like he wasn't in the top 5 on that list, so he loses ground due to that.

The bottom three would be Rohlman, Wanda, Britt in that order.
 
I would put it Meeks, Justin, Joel and fine you argue 2 & 3 but to me Meeks was our single most important player. I say that because that kid showed up every game, you could bank on him at or very near a double double and yet he never needed the lime light nor did he get it as much as I felt he deserved. Meeks did the dirty work, came to work lunch pail and blue collar, kid battled his heart out. Clearly Justin and Joel carried us scoring wise and that drives the headlines but Meeks did the stuff that makes teams winners, like that olineman in football, the back may get a thousand yards but truth is that would not happen without those big fellas opening up the holes for him.
 
Really hard to see anyone putting anyone but Jackson at the top of the List for what this poll is. I think he was clearly our best/ most talented player.
 
Best: JJ (don't need to explain)
Most important: JB + Meeks (take either one away and we have a different team)

JB: because we never even sniff the FF (2X) without his iron will, toughness, scoring, and LEADERSHIP!

Meeks: because he could be counted on every game to consistently score and rebound. He fought and stayed healthy and showed what many of us saw as his real potential. His example will keep teaching players that follow the value of hard work!
 
Actually tuff to put in order. My toss up really is between JJ and JB as one or two.

Without JB that particular team would have struggled to finish in the top five, but without JJ we for sure don't win the ACC or Natty. He (JJ) provided us a match up every game were we had the advantage.
