Early 2000s players that would be great in the modern NBA?
The late Eddie Griffin would have been nice. Had decent size at 6-10. Was an elite shot blocker (2.1 blocks in just 19 minutes). Rebounded well. Wasn't a high volume 3-point shooter but for a big in that era to take around 2-3 a game (which explains why coaches hated him) and make at least one was a nice weapon to have and build around.
There's also LaFrentz, who probably wouldn't be getting injured as much if he wasn't forced to bang with centers.
In the picture, dirk, would have been more elite. Would have possibly played center with range and might be rated as one of the best centers in the game.
