Duke's Williams leads All-Rolls Royce Team

SPECIAL TO ESPN.COM

Jan. 30
Jason Williams
It's time to unveil my All-Rolls Royce starting five by position ...

Let's start in the backcourt with point guard Jason Williams of Duke and shooting guard Juan Dixon of Maryland. What a dynamic duo that is! Both are explosive scorers who can also defend.

At power forward, I'll go with Drew Gooden of Kansas. He has been tough to stop as a scorer and rebounder. At small forward, my choice is Mike Dunleavy of Duke. As Mr. Versatility, he can do it all, shooting the trifecta and showing great passing skills.

Rounding out the frontcourt is center David West of Xavier. He has been a star of stars inside, rebounding and scoring. There have been a few games where he's been in foul trouble, but West has helped the Musketeers to a 10-game win streak.

These guys have earned the right to make my All-American team.

I had come out with a super seven, but a couple of players have not played up to their capabilities. The recent performances of Illinois' Frank Williams and Kentucky's Tayshaun Prince have left them off the list. Those guys must step it up and be the PTPers they're capable of being. They're the catalysts, the guys who lead their teams to the winner's circle.
