I think in the coming weeks there will be much easier ones to debate than this one. "Imaging a redo of their careers" gives a bit too much leeway. In some parallel universe Matt Bonner turned into a reasonable facsimile of Jokic and Lebron and Dwayne Wade were complete busts. I can imagine that but it doesn't make it so. I think we need to anchor to how it played out with some creative license to explore what ifs.
I can think about the wording, but I basically want us to think of their realized careers to date as though we're scouts with a time machine.
We know how hard they'll play, how their athleticism stacks up against NBA players, how durable they are, a lower bound on how well their skills can develop, how they mature mentally, etc., but we don't know specifically that Wade will miss exactly 31 games in his 4th and 5th seasons.
