Opposite of the other thread, I realized that Cade Cunningham would be better suited to the past era, since he has a high bball iq but outdated shot selection and spacing. Would probably be a star instead of called a bust already. Sabonis, Gobert, Paolo would all be top ten too I think.

Many, Derozan if he keeps his Kobe like ability would have been a high 20s ppg game with people comparing him to Kobe and MJ.
Drummond would have been something like little Shaq.
Julius Randle. Basically Zach Randolph with more spacing
All of them really. Like look at NBA games lol. Dudes do so much more today. I see someone like Jokić who will make at least 40% of decently timed three-pointers and I think “well, in itself it’s nothing special for a 7-footer nowadays” lol. Even past-it LeBron would outperform prime LeBron lol. Anyone who denies the facts is just ignoring what the games really look like for sake of “ranking players” obsession.
Draymond would have thrived on November 19, 2004
Dray would run scared of a guy like artest and oneal lol
This current version of Bradley Beal ironically lol
Gobert would be seen as an all-timer if he played in the 2000’s
What lol. Gobert won like 4 dpoys in his era. What would even change lmfao.
People are calling Cade a bust? He’s gonna be an all star
I feel like it’s way too early to call Cade a bust.
I would’ve love to have seen Ausar Thompson guard a peak Kobe.
Ausar is already a stud perimeter defender at just 20 years old. He’d be better suited in those more defensive friendly eras.
Rui Hachimura is probably an all star with his midrange
Valančiūnas would be 20+ppg 10+rpg every year if you dropped him off in the 2000s
No social media Ja Morant? Face of the league
Talent was lacking back then so everyone.
Jonas Valanciunas in the early to mid 2000s would probably be a 5-10x All Star.
Centers were incredibly weak then, and he is a walking 20 & 10. If he’s in the East from 2000-2010 I think he is a 5+ All Star. He grabs a lot of rebounds which that era, counting stats were really all anyone looked at. He is also very healthy and plays most games each season.
This was an era that saw Jamal Magloire, Brad Miller, Alonzo Mourning, Vlade Divac all make all star teams while averaging like 10-12 ppg or playing ~20 games. Valanciunas being a steady 20 & 10 in the era where Shaq was fading and Dwight hadn’t dominated yet would be hard to vote against. Boban too would probably be a couple time all star in the 2000s.
That Magloire Allstar nod is one of those things that always catches me off guard everytime it gets brought up.
Well Booker in the 2000s is basically a better Rip Hamilton with better playmaking
