Bernard King is definitely draftable in this league regardless. Probably a bench guy but he should be drafted. Len Bias.. never showed a thing in the league obviously and his statistical projections workout to something like Jerome Kersey
Anyway, everyone is free to judge each team on their own but for my little fantasy world I like Bill.
Bernard King was the best post up SF ever! His post game was alot like Dream's. SF's couldn't contain him with that devistating turn around fade away! I do believe Bias could've been another Dominique Wilkins also. Maybe not quite as good but possibly close.
Now talkin bout Kersey. He took so many ill-advised shots early in the shot clock when he could've allowed Drexler to rule. He wasn't a smart player but he was a quality defensive player who could rebound. He would've been a much better back-up SF/PF than a starter.
Drexler was an awesome player who seems to be overlooked in this forum. When I said Thorpe was the best player Dream played with when Thorpe was a Rocket I meant he was his best teammate dream ever had. Drexler was the 2nd best player Dream ever played with but Glide wasn't in his prime and neither was Dream and they didn't play together very long. Barkley was the best player Dream ever played with but obviously they weren't in their prime then either but Thorpe was definately his best teammate. I can't remember how many times Dream would get a few fouls early in the game and Rudy-T rather than pull Dream out of the game would switch Thorpe over to cover the opponents best offensive C/PF and the Rockets basically didn't lose anything defensively other than he wasn't as good a shot blocker obviously but I rememeber after the game how Morrell and Murphy would always point out how great of a defensive job Thorpe did on Robinson, or Ewing, or whoever else he D'd up cuz he was such a great defensive player. Thorpe allowed Dream to stay in games when he got cheap fouls which made him a great role player. Olajuwon was great at stayin on the floor and not gettin that 3rd foul and still dominating the game! He was so smart defensively, his instincts were incredible!
Drexler is one of the top 4 greatest SG's I have ever seen play in the NBA- 1. Jordan 2. Kobe 3. D-Wade, 4. Drexler! This comment is 4 u malone.
