It's hard to say. I'd go with Rasheed--my favorite player of the bunch--if I needed to pick one as a #1 option. I'd also have to tell him to post up instead of jacking up those threes, because he was a beast in the post.
However, for a second option, it would really depend on what I need. All three players are great defensive players. Rasheed is the most versatile, with his three point range. (Strangely enough, he's the only one never to make an all-defensive team.) However, he's by far the worst rebounder of the bunch.
So I guess if you need a #1 option who might be able to take a game over, go with Rasheed, with the understanding that he won't deliver it every game. If you need a consistent hard-nosed bruiser, go with Oakley. If you want a solid workhorse with a midrange jumper to space the floor, go with Grant. But it's mainly between Rasheed and Oakley for me.
