I voted before I read the post - my bad!
I went for Timmy but I would have voted for KG in today's league over Timmy. Timmy's game doesn't translate as well to today's league while KG's translates better than before.
Yeah, in today's game it is easily KG for me. He would absolutely have developed a 3PT game if drafted today, and we're seeing how valuable young bigs with ball-handling skills are (Banchero, Barnes, Mobley).
KG would be Giannis-like in today's game
I don’t think he would be. In his era, KG had the skillset to dominate inside. He had the skill set to add a couple of feet to his game. He stubbornly refused to do either, for reasons I don’t understand.
Similarly, I don’t think the modern game would affect Duncan much. He’d have more space to operate, but he’d be equally dominate offensively and defensively.
If I wanted to draft a guy to play PF in the modern era, my first choice would be Larry Bird. Second, Lebron. After that, I’d be tempted to take Karl Malone, because I think he’d be unstoppable with the increased spacing, no hand-checking and lack of rim protection. Then Duncan, then probably KG.
