Peak Drexler was a BEAST!! In my opinion, Drexler is a top six SG peak wise and GOAT wise. Drexler was right there revolutionizing the SG position with MJ at the same time. Before those two, the SG position didn't have freakish athletes at 6'6 to 6'7 with that blend of scoring and all around ability. I don't think Clyde gets enough credit in that sense.

the only SG's like this today are derozan and butler, but they fall pretty far short of the drexler-jordan level.

kobe's basically done, and before his injury, butler and derozan weren't good players yet.

there are only a couple shooting guards like this at a time in ANY era.. drexler and jordan happened to be the best such sg's of any era however
