Who is the better player? Peak Gerald Wallace or current OG Anunoby in terms of offense, defense, and overall impact.

I was digging up old Gerald Wallace articles about his peak days, and came away feeling like writers felt indifferent about him despite being an All-Star and putting up crazy numbers you don't see today from a SF. OG seems way more malleable with his shooting. If we're talking about someone to be the best player on a team, then I'd take Wallace. If one of these players had to be a role player on a championship team, I'd take OG.

The version of what I hoped OG could be is better than Wallace but I haven't seen that outside of short spurts and in between the multitude of injuries to date. So it's hard not to gravitate back to Gerald.

Would be interesting to see how Crash translates into today's league, obviously the length, defensive versatility and athleticism is there. But the jump shot and decision making would be real issues.
