For this matchup, Larry Nance was so slender coming out of college he was playing SF, not PG and certainly not center (on the bench, Steve Johnson, however, was playing mainly center if I remember right). This gives the 76ers a big advantage inside. Will give a full analysis in a bit but that comes first.
I’d like to make one of my nice charts for each match-up with all of the stats, but I fear that I won’t have the time to get it formatted up to my standards. Instead, I will try to provide pertinent information on the less known players in the seasons I considered.

I know Larry Nance is no center, but that team just doesn’t have any size. Instead of putting Schayes or Johnson or some other undeserving starter into the starting line-up, I just decided to go with a small line-up to run with Isaiah.

1981
D Schayes – 1988 – 64.0 TS%, 18.4 PER, 16.1 Rb Rate
S Johnson – 1983 – 62.9 TS%, 18.1 PER, 13.9 Rb Rate, 17.8 TO Rate *
K Tripucka – 1983 – 56.5 TS%, 19.8 PER, 13.3 Ast Rate, 6.1 Rb Rate
E Johnson – 1989 – 56.4 TS%, 19.4 PER, 8.0 Rb Rate
* I had to stoop low to find a quality big man in this draft class.

1976
J Lucas – 1984 – 45.3 Ast Rate, 18.1 PER
M Kupchak – 1979 – 58.8 TS%, 13.6 Rb Rate, 19.4 PER
S Parker – 1978 - 54.4 TS%, 13.6 Ast Rate, 9.5 Rb Rate
S May – 1981 - 54.9 TS%, 10.8 Rb Rate
L Shelton – 1978 - 54.9 TS%, 12.7 Ast Rate, 12.9 Rb Rate
J Davis – 1983 - 52.1 TS%, 29.0 Ast Rate

My analysis will follow soon.
