Similar players all serving similar purposes for the teams they played for.

You’re getting the prime, best version of whichever one you choose.

Who are you taking?

Draymond. He can't shoot for shite but he's a great offensive facilitator. The other two bring nothing on offense but rebounding and putbacks.

Ben by far had the least amount of issues. But Draymond is the best player out of the three

I think Draymond because of how he could facilitate offense.

They aren’t similar players serving similar purposes. Rodman and Wallace, are but Green at his peak allowed the Warriors to play how they did with his passing ability and threat the hit the 3, which Rodman and Wallace were neither. Green could also guard 1-5

The Worm. Could guard more positions than the others and was a pretty efficient offensive player in his Pistons days. Think he led the league or was among the league leaders in FG% for a few seasons.

Draymond is in a different league offensively than those guys. You were pretty much playing 4 on 5 on offense with Ben Wallace.

Rodman for the rebounds and defense. He was a damn good rebounder from his 2nd season on, but his prime started really started his sixth year in the league when he was 30 years old. He had six straight seasons where he averaged 16.7 rebounds per game. 5.75 of them were offensive rebounds that likely ended up as second chance points.

ETA:
He didn't give many second chances while rebounding double-figures for defensive rebounds during that six years. Pretty sure he averaged more career rebounds per minute than any other player during his time in the league.

I feel like this is dependent on the surrounding roster. As elite that Dennis Rodman and Ben Wallace were on defense. They offer basically zero on the offensive end of the court. Draymond can assist with running the offense. He will be fully involved on the offensive end, making sure guys get their touches, and he can make an open shot when needed as well.

On the other hand, Draymond's weakness is rebounding. He has never been a great rebounder. Ben and Dennis were elite rebounders. While they can't assist with running the offense, they will undoubtedly get your team those 2nd chance points.

BEN WALLACE.

Rodman better, but loose cannon. Also - Wallace had a great afro.
