    Yes. Most of them would be bench players though.

    dying at "undrafted"

    but in all seriousness it depends on a lot of factors. how would their game translate? would their coaches even give them decent enough playing time? etc, etc.

    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

    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
