But why for C-Webb you posted his career averages vs the best year for the other two?
Also, going for career stats, C-Webb played the longest here, potentially taking a bigger hit to his stats, thus making his career stats even more impressive.

So the winner for me is C-Webb - I know he wasn't a pioneer in anything, but for my generation his combination of scoring AND facilitating was jaw dropping. And yes, Sabonis existed, but he was in his downhill years already, and wasn't as featured in Blazers offense as C-Webb in Kings'.

Kemp is the best defender here. Pair him with a playmaker and you're off to the races. He gives you big time rim pressure in the half court and in transition.

Webber can do his own playmaking, but I'm honestly not a fan of his offense overall. He took too many ugly, tough shots, and his passing is a little overrated because he looked so slick doing it. C-Webb couldn't really pass on the move, and when you watch his passing highlights, he's mostly just standing there in the high post waiting for guys to cut. Webber piled up some impressive stats, but we're talking about a negative efficiency scorer.

Both these guys turn into pumpkins by age 30.

Big Dogg Robinson is a very different kind of player who played a different position. I don't think he's quite on their level either way.

I am going with Kemp during his early years
Webber for his Prime
Hypothetical Big Dog at age 32 bringing up a championship on a Khris Middleton type finals run.

I'm going with Kemp. He provides the most two-way ability in my opinion. A lot of people seem to forget or just don't realize how great he was as a defender and rebounder. At his peak (1995-96) he was 2nd in the league in defensive rating, 4th in defensive win shares, and 3rd in total rebounds. And after he left Seattle they dropped from 6th to 10th in overall team defensive rating while Cleveland instantly became the #1 rated defensive unit in the league during his first year with the Cavs. In hindsight, it's pretty egregious that he was never selected for an All-Defensive Team.

I went with Glen BIG DOG Robinson, but only because I've always like saying Big Dog, it's like a crime if you never said it lol

Big Dog is the wrong answer.

I chose Webber, but damn Kemp was fun to watch. he may well be a good choice here.

Okay but apparently Kemp can still shoot pretty well 8-)

doogie_hauser · Post #19 » by **doogie_hauser** » Wed Sep 17, 2025 4:07 am

Chris Webber comfortably.

nomansland · Post #20 » by **nomansland** » Wed Sep 17, 2025 7:21 am

Easily Webber. Passing, defense, scoring, team chemistry.

Kemp was more exciting but not as versatile. Robinson was solid but not a guy that really took his team to new levels.

Which player you rather have on your team?
