Draymond Rice vs Tim Duncan 

Post#1 » by Matt15 » Tue Jun 6, 2023 3:55 am

Draymond Rice is a 6’8” hybrid that combines all the best attributes of Draymond Green/Glen Rice. Would you rather build around Draymond Rice or Tim Duncan?

Draymond would be a 22/8/7/1.5/1.5 on 46/41/85 shooting with ATG defense, I assume 2-inches tallen than what he played at but still just as strong at 230+ lbs.

It is very easily the GOAT player here. I would take Draymond clearly here.

I agree that Draymond Rice sounds better than Glen Green.

I don't think the extra inch in height changes that much. I think he's just slightly better than what he was in 2016 more consistently. I don't think he's close to being a goat level player and I don't think Draymond could do what he does on defense and really be a primary scorer on the other end(on top of passing hub). So I think he's just slightly above what he was in 2016 and shoots a bit more. I'd still take Duncan over him if I'm building a team(especially era relative).

Draymond wouldn't be close to a GOAT player, he's already proven over multiple years his effort and focus waxes and wanes based on how good his team is, or whether or not he's in the playoff hunt, or whatever. He doesn't have the consistency or focus to be a constant like Tim Duncan did for so long. Insult to TD to be honest.

If you think this is somehow about KG, you're very sadly mistaken, or extremely obsessed or something lol.

Multiple years? Or just one year when Steph and Klay were both injured and the team went into tacit tank mode?
