Would Clyde the Glyde Drexler be the best SG in today's league?

[NBAplayoffs2001]

I think he would.

[KungFuJoe]

Glyde?

This fool probably wasn't even born when Clyde the GLIDE was playing.

From about 1988 through 1992, Drexler was viewed as the one guy who might be on par with MJ. Of course he wasn't but the perception was that he was the next best thing. Mj settled everything in the 1992 Finals of course. That series was all about Jordan vs Drexler.

Drexler definitely had the athleticism and skills to thrive today. At his peak, he was averaging 27+ ppg. He was "the man" that led his team to two Finals appearances but had the misfortune of facing two of the better teams ever assembled in the 1990 Pistons and 1992 Bulls.

6'7", lanky, very skilled, with THIS kind of athleticism?

Clearly, James Harden and Klay Thompson would be better.

[Im Still Ballin]

Harden >

[King Jane]

not sure he would do nothin but get bounced around as a sixth man in todays era he had no jay all he did was dunk

modern zone era would take his dunk away

game is too sophisticated now his skills too raw hed need to improve a lot to play modern game im not sure he could adapt with all the talent in the league now

I really used to like this guy. His nickname "Glide" perfectly described him cause he would have dunks where he would look like he was literally gliding. The guy was so smooth. Reminded me of Wade. Not in their game cause I rank Wade higher but how smooth they were on the court.

Plays EXTREMELY similar to DeMar Derozan tbh. Not sure he would be much better.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Harden is better.

Lol. Did Derozan avg 27+ ppg at his peak? Did Derozan lead his team to two finals appearances? Did Derozan have Drexler's all around game? Did Derozan make multiple All Star appearances? Was Derozan ever the 2nd best 2 guard in the game for nearly a decade?

James Harden scores and passes better than Drexler, as well as embody today's era of threes and layups.

[Swaggin916]

Clyde had no left hand. I mean he would still be good but the holes in his game would prevent him from being as good as the players now.

exposed

clyde was only good in the gimmicky 80s an 90s vs matador defenses

lacked a jay and lacked basic skills like left hand even rookies today have left hands an would expose his crude skills

I would go with Clyde as the 2nd best SG after Harden. I prefer Harden's scoring skillset over Drexler's. But Clyde was just as good of a passer and a better rebounder. And even a better defender. But at the end of the day, I gotta roll with Harden. Even though Clyde could score just as much, Harden's scoring skillset makes the difference.
