I’m curious of NBA players ahead of their time. I’m trying to think and find NBA players who are role players or out of the league because they don’t fit the era they are in. I’m not looking for superstars that could also fit in another era. For example, Kawhi Leonard or LeBron James would do well in most if not every era. I’m not looking for those guys. I’m searching for players such as Boban who could’ve played in the 80’s and 90’s. Or Meyers Leonard in the early 10’s. Or Alize Johnson in the 90’s. Or Pat Bev in the 90’s/00’s. Or Montrezl in the 90’s. Or Nerlens Noel in the 80’s/90’s/00’s. Stanley Johnson 80’s/90’s. Or Jarrell Brantley in the 90’s.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you so much!
Jahlil Okafor would’ve been an all star in the 90s. Monta Ellis in the early 2000s as well.
Not sure If He would be an All-Star, His defense is really bad for a Center.
Oh my I can’t believe I forgot about Okafor! You’re totally right! Thank you
Jahlil would get eaten alive in the 90s and definitely isn’t making an all star team over the likes of Shaq, Hakeem, Ewing, Robinson, Mourning and Mutombo.
No he wouldn’t have. He would have been a solid starter at best.
You cannot have an undersized, unathletic Center who ONLY does post-ups. In any era. Even if he did average 20 ppg he wouldn’t have had much of an impact at all, because he really wasn’t capable of much else.
