Now you're building the perfect T-Wolf center. Passes like Darko. Shoots like Kandi Man, defends like Randy Breuer and smashes like Pek.


We can only dream.

I thought about Bird as well. I think Curry is a better shooter though. Got to give Bird his credit though he had an amazing competitiveness maybe only outdone by Jordan, shooting top notch, IQ, passing great. The guy was no doubt a stud.

Im more of a fan of a wing type player.

A 6-9 wing with the frame and athletecism of a tmac. Has a 7'5wingspan with a 9'3 standing reach. Has the durability of a lebron james.

A combination of scottie pippen/michael jordan on defense.

Offensively, A grant hill with klay thompson shooting touch.

So really all you are asking for is a more athletic Always Durant.

Hmm, I never thought about durant when building this ideal player. Grant hill was a do it all player (rebound and pass at elite level for a wing) who is best at slashing and driving to the rim. Give him the shooting prowess of klay and the durability of a lebron. A scottie pippen/jordan combo on defense gives you the best wing defender of all time. That makes him a more superior player than a more athletic durant.

Come to think of it, I should have just said Andrew wiggins with a superior grant hill like handle and rebounding ability. Klay like shooting prowess. A combo of pippen/mj defense with a better build and most importantly, the motor of a jimmy butler.

I said that because Durant basically has that length you wanted is a hell of a shooter and has plenty of ball handling ability. So just give Durant more athletic ability and have him play defense. People forget how much of a freak Durant is.
