Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 3557597, member: 168"] I don't think Rodman translates well. A 6'7" guy who'd essentially get tossed out all the time and would be a guy whose defender sag off of? As good a rebounder and defender as Rodman was, he would really struggle. [B]Everyone[/B] guarding him would essentially pack the paint. He was a net negative most years on offense, and he was guarding PFs who weren't as mobile. He was also far more physical than they allow now, and he'd absolutely get suspended [I]way [/I]more. In a world where he's chasing mobile 4s or 5s, his rebounding comes down by necessity. And it'd be hard to play him at the 5, though you can imagine him as a Draymond-esque center. The difference there, though, is that Dray could at least keep the paint clear on the offensive end. Pippen was obviously great. I'm less of a Pippen fan than many on the board, but I obviously think he is a great player. [/QUOTE]
