Who would be your go-to scorer for this Super All-Star team? 

Post#1 » by SelakStreet » Thu May 30, 2024 4:02 pm

Rank these 10 scorers from best to worst, then explain your reasons.

'90 Patrick Ewing
'95 Toni Kukoc
'92 A.C. Green
'88 Clyde Drexler
'95 Scottie Pippen
'88 Terry Porter
'96 Tracy Murray
'88 Jerome Kersey
'91 Harvey Grant
'99 Mark Bryant

With all 10 of these players in their respective peak/prime years, who would you nominate as your go-to-guy (from best to worst) to carry the bulk of this team's scoring load and why?

Nice 1990s list, some of these names brings back memories.

Clearly Ewing is the best player and scorer of the bunch, though Drexler close behind.
Pippen is next, not a score first type player but did it quite well. Kersey was a reasonably good scorer that was deceptive in that he is forgotten but had some big games.
Think Kukoc was clutch and scorer in big moments too, he's next for me. Murray had by far his best season, though in a rough expansion Toronto team. He looks slightly better than Porter, who I'd have next and then Harvey.
AC scored a little but wasn't much of one and Mark Bryant looks out of place here scoring under ten.

Probably Drex

Odd seeing AC Green, in a list of "scorers." He's probably the lowest scoring option here though probably my starting forward so he'd be the opposite end of the scoring spectrum from Ewing, with Drexler and Pippen as 2nd/3rd options and Terry Porter as 4th. Off the bench, the best players are probably Kersey and Kukoc though they are both combo forwards; there's neither a true backup center nor a backup PG on the team.

Probably Ewing, then Drexler.

There's a few guys on the next tier, but I think I'd feel alright about Kukoc in the third spot.
