You made the point that there's nobody on this team as good at Emeka and Ben which I agree with.  I pointed out the other three starters on this team are better than the other three starters on the '04 team.

I'm not going to try and do a simulation of the game if they played each other because it's pointless with two different eras/styles of play.  Results would be different if they played the game in '04 as opposed to 2024.

It was a bunch of one on one back then and dumping it down low to Okafor with big to big passing.  The offense is more complex now and relies much more on cutting and ball movement.

I think '04 was more talented overall and bigger despite Clingan dwarfing all of them but they turned it on and off, this team doesn't turn it on and off and this team runs better offense.

The talent was better back then in college hoops but it's currently balanced out by the NBA being so against traditional big men and all the old kids still in college because of Covid/transfer stuff.
