That Pacers team would be unstoppable if this was 2018. But most of those starters are near the end of their careers.

Surprisingly lopsided result. I think those two teams are of comparable quality.

A bunch of really nice teams.

That's they key detail here. You can't be as bad as Keyonte was and still act like you're some big deal.

I think he's already lost a step.

Okay, top 15? He's been the best player in a star studded league for 5+ years.

Cool. But Jokic is like a top-10 player of all time.

He was picked at #17 in the all-time draft. And in that draft we base it on their best year, which is his rookie year...

It's round 3, not round 1. It's unbelievable how many mistakes you make!

I'm with you. I haven't been at all impressed with how things transpired since the Mitchell/Gobert trades. But the team has a ton of assets, so hopefully my worry is premature.

It's because drinking and smoking are extremely prevalent in South Korean military (according to the paper you linked). This is a more culture-specific finding than a general consequence of civil service. Finland is just about the most peaceful country on earth. You're making too big a deal out...

So sad that someone with THT's raw talent never found a way to put it all together.

Sure, but Gobert is an incredibly efficient player. He's limited, but the things he can do on the offensive end he does really well. I'm sure Russell has a lot of intangibles. He's been a huge part of many championship teams, and an all time great. And I wasn't even born when he played, so my...

I cannot find any pre-80s legend who was anywhere near as inefficient as Russell. Wilt 57% TS, West 56%, Robertson 56%. Hell, even Bailey Howell was at 53%. And Russell was a center in an era where players were vastly less athletic than today. I am imagining him in the current era. That's the...

I can't speak for anyone else. I'm simply stating my opinion. I would pick Russell with my 6th pick as a nice defensive specialist off the bench. This is purely based on what I think of his game.

His TS% was like 45%!! Would literally be one of the least, if not the least, efficient players in the modern NBA. And he was a center!!

Bird would slay in the modern NBA. A shooting big with amazing vision! Russell is an offensive liability. Purely a defensive specialist. His offensive game is worse than Gobert.

No way. Garnett could shoot.

Durant is much better on the defensive end than Russell offensively. Durant, imo, was a top 20 defender in his prime.

Of course. But if you had a time machine and had to pick either prime KD or prime Russell to put on a team you're building, you'd pick the latter? I think that's crazy. Russell had so many limitations, and I don't think he'd be a top player in the modern NBA.
