Duncan top 5...maybe. Yeah it's easy to say that he would have been #1 after the fact. Oh course he should have, but that is a long way from would have. As good as West was at everything he never could catch up with his ego.

This is a troll post.
As I said, I'll defer to the greatest GM of them all- The Logo:

IT HASN'T taken Tim Duncan, Wake Forest's prodigy, long to catch the attention of NBA scouts and general managers. No less an authority than Lakers GM Jerry West has called Duncan, a 6-10, 238-pound sophomore, the best player in the country and a No. 1 pick in the draft . . . if he leaves school after this season.

Rodney was a PF, then he played a lot of Center as a Junior, his final season.
He did almost all of his work in the paint and was a dominant post player. He was never a SF as King and Tucker handled that.
As for his work ethic, after King, Tucker and others, in the summer, were done with 5 on 5 in the lower gym, about 7 or 7:30 pm, Rodney would show up alone and go through a fast paced, regular, planned regimen for an hour or so, in that hot 85 degree box, several nights a week.

Well damn. I was a young buck back then living in the dash, hanging around the gym.
Looked up Derrick Hicks and he averaged 9 boards per game at Center.
Still consider Rodney a dominant post, even if he never played center. I thought we ran some with Tucker at 3, King at 4 and RR at 5. Guess I am mis-remembering.

An NBA GM said at the time that Duncan would have been the first pick that year without question.
