Only names I saw in here that I will agree with are Rod Strickland and Ron Harper.

Rod simply played in the West with GOD-tier PGs doe.
You woulda have to leave off one or more of Stock, Tim, GP, or KJ for him to make it...

Some of his best years were with the Bullets/Wizards tho. In 98, he led the league in assists and was All-NBA 2nd team but no all star game.

Naw, mayne...and you said the reason why: he had three other HOFers on that squad, so all he had to do was
work around them. Matter fact - when he went to another team, he had to sit the bench behind Reggie Miller...

You didn't awnser my question, mayne.

If the '87-'88 Lakers needed a basket at crunch time, you think they were lookin' to Byron first?

A few things on Byron as a life long Lakers fan. First off, I think Byron is a solid answer to the OP.

Byron ate off of wide open mid range jumpers in transition from Magic.
Byron was also a really good athlete who could finish strong at the cup.
Byron was in no way a go to player for the Lakers. He had a defined role as a limited player. But was pretty pure from 16-20ft. But again dude was always wide open.
Byron would get tight in close games late and miss alot of the same shots he normally hits.
You could not just give Byron the ball when you needed a bucket, in a close game, in the half court. That is why Worthy made the hall of fame, he was actually a real go to player on a team with Magic & Kareem.

Camby is one. Dude was an amazing defensive player and had skill on offense. Hit his prime during a kind of weak time for 5s too. We shouldn't live in a world where Jamal Maglore was an all star and Camby wasn't.

Sabonis is the kinda the right answer since he'd be the best overall player but he wasn't the same guy by the time he got to the league.

I don't think Bibby did either and he should prolly snuck in atleast once.

Camby was a bust.
