I got to Oregon as a freshman in 1991, so didn't get a chance to see anyone play prior to that. With that said, my starting 5 from 1991 to present would be.....

Payton Pritchard
Tyler Dorsey
Luke Jackson
Bryan Bracey
Jordan Bell

I don't know the history of Oregon basketball well enough to put an all-time starting 5 together, but Joseph Young should be mentioned wellllll ahead of any mention of Tyler Dorsey.

I think you’ve got 4 of 5. Steve Jones was a great player but his brother Nick might have been better. I would go w/ Dylan Brooks as #5.

Ronnie Lee is #1(I’m biased........same class)

Other good players:

Charlie Warren
Doug Little
Anthony Taylor
Blair Rassmussen
Nick Jones
Luke Ridnour(top 10)
Aaron Brooks
Luke Jackson(top 10)
PaytonPrichard(top 10)
Jordan Bell probably best defensive player

Nick Jones was amazing handling the ball, probably the best I have seen wearing a Duck uniform.

IMO, Ron Lee may not have been the most talented player Oregon has produced, but for work ethic, grit, guts, will-power, and determination, he more than made up for it!

He was an integral part of the development process for Nike basketball shoes. A Nike rep used to show up at workouts with samples, and it was not unusual to witnes RL literally ripping the soles off multiple shoes in one practice.

He cut harder than anyone I can remember.

My first wife won an auction for a pair of his game shoes. The wear they displayed after a single 40 minute game was amazing.

He of course is the All time leading scorer @ Oregon, 2085, before the shot clock and 3 point line. But, even with that my constant memory of Lee is on defense. An opposing player has the ball, sure he's got a break away basket, but from out of nowhere, Lee comes from behind and smacks it away.
