Recreate the 2002 Kings using modern players

[penbeast0]

Which side do you pick, all at prime?
Divac -- Boris Diaw.
Webber -- Rasheed.
Peja -- Kover.
Christie -- Prince
Bibby -- Arenas

Turkoglu -- Kukoc
Bobby Jackson -- Mike James
Pollard -- Dwight Powell

The biggest difference is Divac is a lot more valuable than Boris Diaw defensively and even Webber is more of a help defender (and clearly better passer than Rasheed) which helps cut off drives to the basket for all the rest. However, Arenas, Korver, Kukoc, and even Dwight Powell have significant shooting edges for the new team. In the modern era I would go with the team with far more 3 point shooting that you put together; in 2002 with 3 pointers being shot at the rate that teams generally did then, I'd probably lean to Sacramento.

Most of these teams have multiple players who are not as good as their Kings counterpart. Adelman was also the secret sauce. An all-time offensive coach. Let me try to make an actual contender:

Jamal Murray
Mikal Bridges
Michael Porter, Jr.
Bam Adebayo
Domantas Sabonis

Reggie Jackson
Jalen Williams

The hardest is Webber. There's no real analog for him. I considered Siakam. I also think Christie as a one-on-one defender is hard to replicate. There may be a better choice than Bridges out there. Collin Sexton might work for B. Jackson, but I think Reggie is a bit closer. I think this team at least has the virtue of being very balanced, a mark of that Kings squad. Even though Webber was clearly the superstar, they were at their best when you never knew where the next shot was coming from.

PG: Fred VanVleet?
SG: Mikal Bridges
SF: Lauri Markkanen
PF: Pascal Siakam
C: Damontas Sabonis

Talent level isn’t an exact match but I think the playstyles aren’t totally off
