Depends on how much offense I already have on my team.

Horace Not only could be play defense but he could run the floor and had a killer midrange jumper. Rumours were that he was the fastest guy on the championship Bulls team. Not the quickest, the fastest.

And he was, like Rodman, an outstanding man defender. Not like Ben, who is predominantly a help defender, and also a couple of inches taller.
He also got some All-Defensive Team attention in a VERY deep era. And of course, much more valuable on offense than Wallace has ever been.
Tough call, because as a specialist, Wallace has been an exceptional rebounder and shot-blocker over his career.
Personally, I'd prefer to have Ho Grant, though I can see a pretty good argument for Ben Wallace. I just like to have a more balanced offense.

In their primes, Ben Wallace. But I'd take '92-'95 Grant over the Wallace of this and last season. Ben's fallen off a ton the last couple of seasons.

Ben is like playing 4 on 5 offensively, but I think his help D was a huge impact, especially if you had a guy who could man up and let Ben wreak havoc on the weakside, and rebounding.
Like you said, tough call, I might actually go with Ben though.

I like Ho but I think Wallace in his prime would have more of an impact on my team.

Who wouldn't? I'd take 5 dollars over -5 dollars, too. I think I'd take Grant overall, although I can see certain situations where Wallace would be better. But mostly, Grant. He's not gonna have peak Wallace games of boards and blocks, but he's not going to actively hurt your team on the offensive end either.
