GOAT 1v1 Player Round 2 (Forwards)
Top 5 from the SF and PF polls moved on. Where there's a tie the player with more comments gets picked.

Re: GOAT 1v1 Player Round 2 (Forwards)
I'm taking KG here. The best defender in my opinion, whether it's against the wings or the bigger forwards, and offensively has just enough I think to get it done.

I think I go Durant again, the 3 point shooting gives him too big an advantage in a game where there are no team schemes. I do think a number of the other players could give him a run for it though.

Are they playing limited dribbles or on a shot clock?

Unless OP says so, I would assume normal US basketball rules including a 3 point line, referee, and 24 second clock. Again, the NBA did this once and they didn't have any limited dribble rules.

Just popped in my head but I think prime Blake Griffin would give a lot of these guys a run for their money, so would Sheed. Just want to show them love.

7 or 10-shot clock is more common in 1-on-1

Re: GOAT 1v1 Player Round 2 (Forwards)
Can see a fast shot clock being interesting, far more than a limited dribble.

WIsh any of those had showed an actual contest rather than highlights. Can't see the clock or how people might play differently, just a lot of open layups and dunks.

I'd be comfortable sagging off Giannis and let him take a jumpshot.
Kawhi and Durant are absurdly efficient shooters which are very effective in 1v1 situations.

Sheed by a hair. Better defender.
And as for this poll, it's KD all day, everyone else is playing for second place.
