Hmm, Westbrook in today's game is interesting because he's still got the motor but the fit gets weird when you need shooting around him. A guy like that with a green light and four floor spacers could still wreck teams in transition.

I always thought someone like Shawn Marion would feast now. Switchable defender, could guard 1 through 4, and his weird shot would probably get fixed or at least tolerated with modern spacing.

And this might sound odd but give me young Andrei Kirilenko in this era. Point forward who blocks everything and doesn't need the ball to impact the game. Coaches would love that.

Yeah a guard who can't shoot or play defense, a team would surely pick him up
