Here you go a starting 5 and 10 man back up. I saw everyone play on this list at LSU other than Petit, who I saw play in the pros and later all star games.

PG Ethan "E" Martin (no one was better at getting the ball to the open man, or driving the lane, or defense from the pg spot in LSU history)
OG "Pistol" Pete Maravich
SF Rudy Macklin (He is really a PF)
C Shaq
PF Bob Petit

the rest:
PG Derrick Taylor
PG-OG Chris Jackson
OG Howard "Hi C" Carter
OG-SF Don Redden
SF-C Leonard "Swat" Mitchell (Before he got hurt he was a real force)
SF-PF John Williams (he is the only playing I would put on the first team ahead of Macklin)
SF-PF Dewayne "Astronaut" Scales(the first LSU player to go NBA hardship)
PF Stromile Swift
PF-C Nikita Wilson
C Jabari Smith

Others that could make the team, I left off:
OG Anthony Wilson (came of the bench after two years and scored 1000+ points in his career)
SF-OG-PF-C Ricky Blanton
C Lionel Green
SF-PF Jerry (Ice) Reyonlds
C Stanely Roberts
SF Vernell Singleton
PG Kenny Higgs
Any of the above I would vote to replace any of the next ten with if needed.

Players forgotten who would at one time have been on a LSU All Star team(these I didn't see play)
Sparky Wade (Pete Maravich of the 30's)
Buddy Blair
Frank Brian
Joe Dean
