The "What if they never got injured" team

[nichj99]

With D Rose going down again, it got me thinking - who would be the best out of the 'cut down in their prime' crop / who had the brightest future ahead of them?

Tracy McGrady, Brandon Roy, Grant Hill, Greg Oden, Penny, Yao Ming, Shaun Livingston etc etc

What sort of damage would an 'all injured' team of the below be able to do together in a game at their potential?

PG: Penny
SG: Tmac
SF: Grant Hill
PF: Brad Daugherty
C: Yao Ming

Love to hear your teams or any names i missed!

Maurice Stokes, if you don't know who he is I strongly suggest you research his story.

What about players like Geathers, Bias, Lewis, Petrovic

Forgot about Stokes, that one hurt the royals so bad.

As for Bias, I'm not counting him in my side because its not realllllyyyy an injury, but wow could you imagine the Celtics teams going forward with him leading the way for the next 10 years?

Yeah it's crazy to think if celtics had bias or even Lewis how much better they would of been through the 90's

Jay Williams drafted by bulls same year as Yao was a beast. Olokwandi is another name that comes to mind.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Jay Will for sure.


Great thread idea. What about - what if they never chose drugs over bball too?
Seen a tweet about Richard Dumas, got me thinking

There is a front court with an expensive habbit!

 

[fastnbulbous]

Bobby Hurley, Larry Johnson and Derrick Coleman who kinda fell off the wagon

 

[lilreddevil]

What about Elton Brand? Perennial 20 10 guy even in his RC year and then...

 

[ozballer23]

Baby Jordan!

 

[Josh23]

Sam bowie could have been good?

 

[Ersk]

I would like to add.....how about Michael Jordan, if hadn't sat out most of a season due to his injury.....would he have been any better?

 

[taffster74]

What about Sharone Wright? he started out as an absolute beast, but the car accident in Toronto really ruined his career. He was lucky to be able to even play some ball afterwards.

 

[mattyj]

Drazen Petrovic, Reggie Lewis, Bobby Phills...what could they have become?

Would Bobby Hurley have lived up to the hype?

What about Mashburn and his knees?

Penny and Grant Hill are obvious ones but wow, they would have been awesome

 

[taffster74]

Another what if they hadn't been injured case .... Greg Oden. Also ... Brandon Roy.

 

[muzikandme]

Amare would be my power forward all day!!!!!
