Guards from the 2000s that wouldn’t translate well to today’s style of play (alien.top)

The topic of how players adapt to the modern game is pretty common, but I generally hear how centers from the 2000s with their heavy post play and lack of an outside shot wouldn’t do well in today’s NBA. I’m wondering who you guys think are guards from that era who would have difficulty adjusting to the current NBA today.

Trenton Hassell. Started 428 games in 9 seasons. Was a starter for three different teams. Made 95 threes in his career, averaged 1.8 assists per game, 2.8 rebounds a game. Now that I think about it I don't get how he played so much in the 2000s.

Or was this question just about star guards?
