Gobert is 1.01. DW is 1.011. Seriously, they are so completely different in their strength, that comparison "in vacuum" is very difficult.
Plus different not-quite BB circumstances:
AK on his peak was terribly underutilized, especially where his strengths were. And he wasn't too assertive or too solid mentally.
DW was prima donna even more than DM.
Rudy is somewhat underutilized (on offense) because Coach absolutely prefer 30% on 3p to 80% on 2p. And his team is mentally weal and underachieving and on his position he can bail out them somewhat, but can't make the better as PG or passing SF could.

Re: #1 - 15 best players post Stockton/Malone
In my Opinion Dwill was our best player since then. He led a group of players to with WCF which none of the other groups have been able to do yet. In his prime Dwill was almost as explosive as Donovan, was a better passer, but the dude had ice in his veins when it came down to kill time. He seemed clutch to me more often than not.
DM can get there if he can get out of his own head. He needs to realize its a team game and being the ice man doesn't mean you dominate the basketball all 4th quarter. It just means you are able to not just take the shot, but make the big shot when needed. But more often then not it is making the correct basketball move time and time again down the stretch. Donovan has not learned that yet and we are seeing the results unfold this year. He gets that down he can become the top player, but he will take us atleast to the WCF and probably further if he gets that under control.
My top 10:
Iceman
SpidaMitchell
Gobert
Boozer
AK47
Hayward
Bogie
Moneyman
Conley
Millsap
as a side note, I'm surprised you didn't put Milt Pilacio on the list just for good times sake
