Good NBA starter? Maybe for 1 season.
Decent bench player.
Would be NCAA MVP.
Would break all high school record if allowed to play.
Can go 1 vs 5 in 24 hour fitness and win.

Re: Are these players good....or just spectacular?
I think Jamal Crawford is maybe the best example of this.
When I first got here he was on the Bulls and a lot of people had high hopes....then soon decided he was ass....then he became a bench scorer for like 8 teams....now hes 40 still doing it. His most recent game he had 51 I believe not that 2019 numbers even count.....
A lot of people actually think he cant play now and was never very good. A LOT. Nobody needs clips of his highlights since hes probably one of the more celebrated ankle breakers of all time....but hes scored just under 20 thousand points I think. And im not sure ISH would call him a good player.

Was Richard Jefferson too good to ask this question of?

yes, RJ was a legit all star imo.
Lance is an interesting player. Kinda dude you'd think could be a vital piece on a championship team if he ever got the chance, but he didn't, and he's a headcase. I think he'd play better if he was ever in the Finals, though. After awhile, guys lose their heart and I think Lance has. Maybe he can find it again, he's not old.
Danny Green owns Gerry. haha.

He isnt old but he feels old. Hes the kinda guy people talk about how he was ____ in his prime as if hes not like 28. He feels 33.

yea I had to look. haha. We've been tired of his bullshit for awhile, so it seems like longer. But those Indy teams weren't contenders and they were going v Bron, so it was a lose lose. can't really blame him for getting mentally broken.

Re: Are these players good....or just spectacular?
There are a lot of guys who put up 15ppg that are a lot better than guys putting in 25ppg.
Kemba Walker fits that mold for me. I don't think he is some surefire number 1 or 2 option. I'd take a guy like Milsap over him any day of the week. To keep it within position, I don't think a guy like Rubio impacts the game any less despite the stats saying otherwise.

Depends on the context of the comparison, these guys are still the 450 or so best players on the planet give or take. Also depends on what you're looking for in a player, Jamal Crawford was never a good defender but he could get you buckets at will during his prime in a hurry. Indiana Lance was both but just fell off in a hurry.

Not a sure 1 or 2? How many teams exist per era that would have Kemba as a #3?
2? 3?
More now in the era of superteams but it would still be unusual. If Kemba is your #3 you have a pretty top heavy squad.

Re: Are these players good....or just spectacular?
Lance is a streetballer who made it to the NBA. A loose cannon, who has skills that are fancy to the eye, but not effective enough to be a star in organized basketball.
Gerald was a serviceable role player, with good glue guy skills, but his athleticism raised expectations to a level he could never reach.
Desmond was a freak without much substance.
Globally speaking all three were good.

He's had some of the worst shot selection of all time next to Kobe, and been terrible on defense, so he's practically been a detriment to his team at times despite being able to hit the difficult, non-defendable shot like a jump shot from 15 while moving laterally, and this is basically why he's never been an All-Star. You'd have to wonder if they'd have given him an All-Star nod as a lifetime achievement award had he netted 20 a game for a season towards the end here like he did in New York in 2007-08.
