One of my top ten “put a player in another player’s shoes” situations would be putting Klay Thompson on Reggie Miller’s Pacers and seeing how he would do in his place. And what would the Warriors look like with Reggie instead of Klay? They’d be splash brothers but do defensive differences derail da dynasty?
Another would be Tim Duncan as the #1 pick in 1985 and Patrick Ewing as the #1 pick in 1997. I don’t think Duncan would have won a title with the Knicks and the Ewing would have won titles with the Spurs.
