AboveLegit Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 I remember doing this before (not sure if it was here), but I basically take historical teams from the past and post a topic asking members to recreate that starting five+sixth man with current NBA players.

AboveLegit Posted November 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 PG- Thabo SefloshaSG- Kobe BryantSF- Gerald WallacePF- Reggie EvansC- Joel Pryzbilla Sixth Man- Hedo Turkoglu I would say Dwight Howard instead of Reggie Evans for the Rodman comparison, but I think that maybe too much. Dwight is a much better offensive player. I think Rodman's game resembles Reggie Evans, it's just that he's just simply better, but I couldn't find a better comparison. The Ron Harper comparison is interesting. He was never a true PG, it always seemed like they started 2 SG's and had Jordan and Pippen run the offense. They were a tough defensive backcourt, so Thabo and Kobe fits the comparison well. As for Pippen-Wallace comparison, it's the best I can think of. No one comes close to Pippen, it's probably the hardest comparison to make. You can say LeBron, but that's going too far since LBJ is just too good.

Owner Real Deal Posted November 20, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Camby or Noah are better comparisons to Rodman. Evans doesn't play much defense, and Rodman is the greatest defender of all-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver P Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) Well in fact it didn't just seem like they started two SGs ABL, they really started two SGs. Ron Harper never was a PG, he's always been a SG/SF which is why you defintely cannot use a true PG for the Harper comparison. The Bulls never used a true PG anyhow. Pippen was the real PG of that team, he's the one who got the ball upcourt most of the time. Jordan, Harper and Kukoc did so too though. They didn't have a PG but several players who were all terrific ball handlers and could get the ball upcourt. Even during the first three peat, Paxson or BJ were PG because of their size but they were truly shooting guards, there were never a true PG in that team. So I like the fact that you used Sefolosha as PG. Personally I think that I would rather pick Raja Bell though, cause Sefolosha is not good enough offensively IMO. And Bell is around the same age as Harper at the time. But Sefolosha is a good pick nonetheless. Especially that Harper wasn't close to the offensive player that he was in Cleveland and LA anyhow. It's funny that Harper was never known for his defense during all his career, he was always a pure scorer and in Chicago it seemed like he lost his scoring abilities (he really struggled when he arrived in Chicago in 94/95, he was totally lost in the triangle) and became a defensive expert. I think that no one saw that coming lol... At PF I agree with Real Deal that Noah is a much better comparison, no doubt about that. He certainly still ain't at Rodman's level defensively (no one is anyhow) and his jump shot, as ugly as it is (uglier than Rodman's no doubt), is more efficient than Rodman's though, but yeah he's the closest to Rodman right now. At center I highly disagree with Przbylla. Longley was a horr... well I was about to say horrible defender, it might be a bit exaggerated, but let's say that he's not half the player that Przbylla is defensively. Longley's main strength was his jump shot, other than that he was pretty average... I don't know which player looks the more like him today. Maybe Krstic. Yeah I think I would pick Nenad. As for Pippen yeah it's a hard comparison I agree, but I would pick Odom instead of Wallace. Wallace ain't good enough from being the arc, and he's not the passer that Pip was. Odom is certainly the most versatile player in the league right now just like Pip was in the 90's. However Odom is certainly not the defender that Pip was, Wallace is a better defender. So it's tough... But I'd still pick Odom I think, Odom is a good enough defender anyhow IMO. None of the two is as good as Pip was anyhow, that's for sure. For Kukoc, well yeah I can agree with the Turk pick... Yeah I can't think of a better comparison as well. All those comparisons are tough to make anyhow, no player today really looks like any of those players (the only obvious one is Jordan-Kobe) but this said I think that my roster would be something like this : P.G. Raja BellS.G. Kobe BryantS.F. Lamar OdomP.F. Joakim NoahC. Nenad Krstic 6th man : Hidayet Turkoglu Edited November 21, 2010 by Oliver P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
