I'd take Tiny, Reed, Sharman, and English over him.

Tinay Archibald was the 19th overall pick in 1970, so he was really picked higher than Tony Parker was.

Willis Reed was picked 8th overall (1st pick of the second round) in 1964, Silas was picked 10th overall that same year.

English was picked 23rd overall.

I'm not a huge fan of Redd's right now but I'm pretty sure he's better than Anthony Mason lol.
