2001-2002 All Rookie Team - how good is it today? 

Post#1 » by durantbird » Thu Mar 6, 2025 9:34 am

PG: Tony Parker / Jamaal Tinsley
SG: Jason Richardson / Joe Johnson
SF: Shane Battier / Richard Jefferson
PF: Andrei Kirilenko / Vladimir Radmanovic
C: Pau Gasol / Eddie Griffin / Željko Rebrača

Assume all those players are in peak form, transported to 2024-25. Do the win the championship?

I kept the starting lineup true to All Rookie First selection

Assuming Johnson starts, that looks like a very solid second round team at minimum. The wing/forward depth is ridiculous. I could see them making a conference finals if everything clicks.

I’m starting JJ at 3 for more offense on starting, but man that’s a nice 7/8 guy squad
Somewhere trying not to offend Texas Chuck.

I already commented that to Fadeaway_J. Even though I agree Joe Johnson > Jason Richardson quite clearly, I just kept the All Rookie First selection as is
