How good would the following players have been in the 60s?

[Marchesk]

Kirk Heinrich
JJ Barea
M. Dellavedova
Kyle Korver
Enes Kanter



Edit: I forgot one.

Vassilis Spanoulis

[BuffaloBill]

They would all play Center and average at least 40 points and 30 rebounds.


Except JJ Barea, he would play Power Forward and average at least 40 points and 30 rebounds.

They would get destroyed by guys like this

[Rocketswin2013]

Korver would be worse. No 3-point line. I was actually think about how curry would fare in the pre-1980 era a few days ago. I think he'd be a fringe all-star at best.

I was wondering about Curry back then.

Makes you wonder about James Harden. No 3pt line, more rim protectors, less spacing, and probably a little less ref love.

Kirk Heinrich = Hal Greer
JJ Barea = bob cousy
M. Dellavedova = gail goodrich
Kyle Korver = jerry west
Enes Kanter = bill russell


Vassilis Spanoulis = water trash/wet garbage

Kanter would likely not make the league. Not skilled enough and doesn't provide enough defense. Korver as mentioned likely wouldn't make it either or could be a bench player like he was for a long time in this league. Barea and Heinrich would be considerably worse at ball handling (since they woulda grown up in those times) and probably not make rosters as well. Remember there were much less teams back then and you had quite a few elite PGs running around.

Edit: Delly and V-span? GTFO

on 40 FGA, 20 FTA, .425 TS%

[Dbrog]

He's not

He can't compete with Pettit, Russell, Wilt, Reed, Thurmond, Lucas, and Ballamy. Those dudes were sick. Even someone like Happy Hairston who was small, would badly outplay Kanter.

If we're being serious, he wouldn't even need the other stuff to be great. He'd be playing on a fast break league. Probably his biggest strength.

[ImmortalNemesis]

Imagine Jerry West with a 3pt line. Unstoppable.
