Can Clyde Drexler play on today’s Rockets?

If prime Clyde were on the Rockets right now, we'd have two Westbrooks, but the Drexler one would be a bit better on D and could shoot threes OK.

 

When we got him, I was amazed at how good of a passer he was, especially running full speed with his head down. How could he see people?

 

Smarter, better looking and dat stache......

 

Horry, Elie, Clyde, Max, Chuck would kill it in this small ball era.

 

Psychokinesis.

 

Night in and Night out. He is a consummate pro. Instead of Glide, he would of been known as Glider.

 

He'd be a perennial all-star like Rafer Alston when he was here.

 

Dude is 57 and is a professional baby seal clubber now. He ain't Bo Jackson! One sport at a time.

 

I daresay he could be the next Von Wafer.

 

Clyde was a great rebounder and with the small ball team that would be another tremendous weapon added to how he could run the floor on the break.

 

Yes. He wasn't much of a shooter from the current 3 point line, but he never worked on that. Defensively elite, and one of the best at getting to the rim and running the floor. Legendary vision.

 

Just want to note that Drexler's 3 point shooting was only good when they moved the arc in a few inches. Same as Jordan. None of those guys worked on their 3 point shot like the guys today.
