The only real change I'd make to Self's starting 5 would be Rush over McLemore, just because Rush was a better defender, and he's a little more mature on the court and was the better overall player. McLemore is more athletic, but it's not by that much. Rush is no slouch when it comes to athleticism.
But when it comes to depth, Self beats Roy's bench by a mile, and that was done in 11 years compared to Roy's 15. Self has trumped Roy in terms of recruiting while being at KU, esp in the big man dept.
Roy's bench:
PG-Adonis Jordan
PG-Jeff Boschee
PG-Aaron Miles
SG-Billy Thomas
SG-Rex Walters
SG-Michael Lee
SF-Kenny Gregory
SF-Keith Langford
PF-Wayne Simien
PF-Scot Pollard
PF-Drew Gooden
C-Greg Ostertag
Self's bench:
PG-Russell Robinson
PG-Sherron Collins
PG-Tyshawn Taylor
SG-Brandon Rush (or McLemore)
SG-Josh Selby
SG-Tyrel Reed (one of the best shooter's I've ever seen, hopefully Frankamp takes that title away)
SF-Xavier Henry
SF-Wayne Selden
PF-Julian Wright
PF-Darrell Arthur
PF-Darnell Jackson
PF-Marcus Morris
PF-Markieff Morris
PF-Perry Ellis
C-Jeff Withey
C-Cole Aldrich
