I can name quite a few players I would take over someone regarded as their better as well, but that doesn't mean that the player I pick is better. The fact you would rather have Larry Nance on your team doesn't mean he's better than Dominique Wilkins. Not to mention Nance was more of a combination forward than a true small forward like Wilkins -- especially when you factor in the important aspect that Wilkins' greatest strength (volume scoring) was one a level on a handful of players in NBA history could match. Nance doesn't have a strength that would be considered elite level in NBA history.
