Malone would be interesting for so many reasons. I love his ferocity. Even in todays league young Karl would outrun most of the bigger defenders on fast breaks. His passing is underated because he didnt need to often, but he was quick with great touch . he would punish any team that tried to go small ball , and teams would lament their choice of sending help to stop Karl at the expense of leaving Mitchell , Ingles, Allen, or Rubio open for three. And i think his hands and feet were quick enough to play the switching defenses.
On the other hand Karl never excelled as a rim protector except for that time against Isaiah . And Karl performed better when he could feel the defender and get him on his hip, i recall he struggled against the quick bouncy Rodman and got swatted alot by help defenders.
Still, I believe Karl would adapt and find ways to excell and I would love to watch Quin play Playoff chess with Karl as another piece.
