Ohio State’s Twitter account asked it first.

You have to pick a basketball starting 5 with Ohio State football players (past or present). Who are you taking at each position?

So, we’re coming to you to see if you agree.

What’s the best starting five basketball team you can create with football players? One caveat to make it more interesting: Let’s get wild and open this up to all players, past and present.

The team that can beat the squad Dawand created the easiest wins.

And if you don't have a team, that's OK. You can come to spend your time with me watching hoops highlights of Dawand (who actually played high school ball with Michigan State's Aaron Henry and was thinking about going to Kent State on a basketball scholarship before his football recruitment blew up).

Ohio States starting LT tackle today was the greatest basketball player ever. A true hooper. Dawand Jones. pic.twitter.com/btSZKiuc9f
