Good approach. Also how they would feel about the game of basketball as a commercialized sports that has Michael Jordan and others as heroes to take as role models and spend everyday on court since childhood to grow as a ball wizard would make a big difference too. Who you modelize growing up affects a major deal. Oscar was in a leauge of bigmen. Jordan has risen from the paradigm of players like David Thompson and Julius Erving and Kobe & Lebron from Jordan. Now the Celtic rookie Jayson Tatum and Simmons from Lebron and Mitchell from Wade and Ball from his dad and so on...Projecting older players I like to think how they would fare with today's conditioning, coaching. His stats obviously won't be as good but I can imagine Robertson playing in this era.
With time-machine thinking lots of legends wouldn't be able to play in modern NBA.
