At his peak, drexler was the best shooting guard in the league second only to MJ. My question is how well do you think his athleticism and skill would transfer in todays game. What player(s) would you compare him to, and where would you rank him? In my mind I see him as a prime Demar Derozan type player which is meant as no slight to either one of them.

Drexler doesn't really have a perfect modern comp. He was a #1 option who couldn't dribble without looking at the ball.

He used strength, athleticism, timely cuts and slashes to score. He wouldn't be a #1 option in today's game but he'd still be a valuable player. He'd be a supercharged 3+D type wing.
