The topic of how players adapt to the modern game is pretty common, but I generally hear how centers from the 2000s with their heavy post play and lack of an outside shot wouldn’t do well in today’s NBA. I’m wondering who you guys think are guards from that era who would have difficulty adjusting to the current NBA today.
Peja, he was basically a 6’10" shooting guard.
Most of Team USA 2004
I think the two that immediately pops into people head are Marbury and Iverson.
jason williams would not have had that type of leash like he did early in his career and would probably be a career backup now
Iverson, Josh Smith
Monta Ellis
andre miller. slow couldnt shoot, unathletic so he couldnt dunk. benefited from the slower pace and facing smaller guards of that era.
