Duncan and Artest swap intangibles
Tim Duncan and Ron Artest magically swap intangibles (coachability, leadership, tendency to clash with others, off-court issues). How much does it matter? Who would you draft?

Re: Duncan and Artest swap intangibles
I'd pick Artest with Duncan's brain. I'm not sure I'd even draft the real Ron Artest knowing what we know now.

Re: Duncan and Artest swap intangibles
It matters a lot. I'd draft Artest first with Duncan's brain and character as well despite big men being more valuable generally in the era they played. It would make it a lot closer than reality though.

A man of Tim Duncan's size with Ron Artest's mentality might legitimately kill someone on the court
