Clearly you forgot John Crotty and Raul Lopez.

Where is Donyell Marshall?

Where is Donyell Marshall?

Sadly, he is one of the better players to stop through here.

Don't fall for Triplet's nonsense.

[fusnik]

Nice knowing you Exum.

Maybe Trey can make a leap without looking over his shoulder?

Deadspin Ball Don't Lie has been doing an All-Time Starting Five for each NBA organization.

I tried to come up with Utah's:

Stockton
Does Maravich count?
Hayward?
Malone
Eaton?

It's Utah's turn in the rotation, and here's what they came up with:

Stockton
Maravich
AK
Malone
Eaton

Pretty spot on with what I thought. I loved peak Andrei, but his seeming immediately plummet in production after signing his huge contract has tainted my view of his time in Utah. I think when all is said and done, Hayward will be more beloved by Jazz fans.

Hilarious. That team doesn't even win a title with all of those guys in their prime, in any era.

Really? Explain further.

Well Stockton, Malone and Eaton all played together and didn't win a title. Pistol Pete is the most overrated player in NBA history, we are talking about a volume shooter who couldn't shoot. His best season he scored 31 points a game, it took him 28 shots per game to do that. Go look at his comps on basketball reference: Latrell Sprewell, Michael Adams, David Wesley. He shot 43% from the floor in his career and averaged 5 assists per game. Horny would be a better fit on that team than he was.

Don't get me started on AK.

I've honestly never heard that take on Pete.

And Peak AK was pretty amazing. 15 points, 4 assists, 8 boards, 3 blocks, 1.5 steals per game. Lock down wing defender (see McGrady, Tracy) and insane weak-side helper on defense.

If you put Eaton in his best defensive years and Pistol Pete on the 97 team that team has a good chance to beat the Bulls, AK, David Beniot, Blue Edwards, Craig Morris, Shandon Anderson, Byron Russell are all pretty much the same player IMO.

Later versions include Ronnie Brewer, Morris Almond, Alec Burks (right SMR? ).

neither stockon nor malone were near their prime.

[smokymountainrain]

Prime AK alone on those '97 and '98 teams makes the difference. Also Gobert on those teams makes the difference.

[New Mexican Disaster]

Kristaps Prozingis looks pretty good right now.

Also, Sasha Vujacic starting at the 2 for the Knicks. Fish and Jax getting the band back together.
