[Shade8780]

Who's better?

[Harison]

Dream did everything better except passing, so its no contest really.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Hakeem easily. Imagine if he had Admiral, Pop, Spurs org, Buford, Manu...................

[Ratnik]

The Dream, no question

[noob cake]

The Dream had a NBA top 5 peak.

Tim Duncan is so unflashy I think he get's underrated.

That being said, probably Hakeem as players go.

Duncan for career accomplishments/longevity.

Dream.

How would Hakeem do if he was drafted on the Spurs in the exact same situation Duncan was drafted into?

Peak; Hakeem
Prime; Hakeem but the gap gets a lot closer, almost a tie IMO.
Longevity; Duncan
Accolades; Duncan

Duncan is the better passer. Although Hakeem was the better defender, clearly, Duncan was a little bit smarter because Hakeem gambled way too much compared to Duncan and Duncan was more careful to leave his foot off the floor. Lastly, Duncan is the better and more consistent rebounder. In other things, Hakeem was better than Duncan.

He actually was. If Ralph Sampson didn't get those injuries, the Rockets might have been ruling out the West over the showtime Lakers and into the 90's. Remember Hakeem made it to the Finals in his second season, just like Duncan did.

The difference was injuries and consistency of each franchise, really. However, their situations were pretty much the same when they got drafted.
