    Kemp is one of my favorite Sonics and I loved him dearly. But if we're talking Mt Rushmore, he just didn't do enough in his career.

    And McDaniel did?

    Sonic Kemp v Sonic McDaniel
    All-Star teams: 6 to 1
    All NBA teams: 3 to 0
    NBA Finals: 1 to 0
    WCF: 2 to 1
    Playoff appearances: 8 to 4
    Playoff series won: 8 to 3
    Cameos in a movie: 0 to 1

    I don't know if Kemp belongs on Sonic Rushmore (he's on mine) but he definitely belongs before X Man. And I loved X.

    You still have a bench spot left. Could go to Big Smooth or Derrick McKey or DJ (ILTCHDJ) or Fred Brown or Tom Chambers or Rashard Lewis. Lots of options.

    I'll go with Smooth. He can play 3-5. DJ is already on the Squad. Chambers was amazing. D was sus, tho. McSpleef had tools but disappeared far too often. Nate and Det are the better options. Both have all-around games, ball-handlers, and GOOD defenders. I'd rather have Dale than Freddy even though I watched Freddy help win it all. Rashard was a GOOD player but not GOOD enough to win.

    Not sure how I missed DJ on your list, my bad.

    I agree on Smooth btw. I think he'd be even more valuable in the modern NBA. He'd be firing up 7 triples a game now.
