Opposite of the other thread, I realized that Cade Cunningham would be better suited to the past era, since he has a high bball iq but outdated shot selection and spacing. Would probably be a star instead of called a bust already. Sabonis, Gobert, Paolo would all be top ten too I think.

Gobert playing in a league with awful spacing and offensive schemes that refused to adapt to the lack of the illegal defense rule would be disgusting. Or maybe coaches would have gotten mad that he wasn't poasting up 10+ times a game, who knows. Derozen would have been pretty great too, and Zion would have been even more of a monster. I'll say Mobeley too, in the Gobert category of great rim protector who can't shoot and struggles with offense.
