Pete Maravich - end of the bench, sitting next to himself
Walt Frazier - decent starter

Form is temporary
Re: Could They Play In Today's Era
Yes. Most of them would be bench players though.

Let me give you a quick example of Gilmore...
In his 84-85 and 85-86 seasons, he faced Hakeem in 10 TEN STRAIGHT games, and averaged 23.7 ppg on...get this... a .677 FG%. He easily outscored and dramatically outshot Olajuwon in the process.
BTW, Robert Parish faced both Gilmore and Shaq in his long career, and guess which one he claimed was stronger?

That wasn't serious and your agenda against Hakeem is tiresome

Re: Could They Play In Today's Era
Bill Walton - Great player. I see him has a rich man prime Bogut. Which is great. His defense would keep him in the league along with his IQ
Tiny Archibald- okay decent PG
Bob McAdoo- Definitely
Moses Malone- MVP
Tom Chambers- Same has the 90s
Pete Maravich- not sure I see him struggling for some reason
Walt Frazier- yes
Bob Lanier-maybe
Artis Gilmore- Definitely
George Gervin- yes, but I don't think has dominate
David Thompson- Same has Garvin
Jerry Lucas
Nate Thurmond-yes
Rick Barry-maybe
John Havlicek-yes, but not has dominate.
Dave Cowens- yes
