The Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala gave high praise to ex-NBA player and now Memphis Grizzlies' assistant coach Rasheed Wallace, saying he would be a top-5 player in today's league.

"Rasheed Wallace probably could have been a top-5 player in the league for a 10-year stretch," Iguodala said on the Dan LeBatard show.

"He was shooting half-court shots left-handed and right-handed," added Iguodala.

Warriors' forward even went as far as saying Wallace would be better than Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.

"If Rasheed Wallace played in modern-day basketball, if he played in our league today, he'd be a top-five player," said Iguodala.

"He'd be better than Giannis, and I love Giannis," Iguodala gave his opinion.

During his 16-year NBA career, Wallace averaged 14.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game and played a key role in the Detroit Pistons' title run in 2004.

The 27-year-old Giannis Antetokounmpo, meanwhile, is 2021 Finals MVP, 4-time First Team All-NBA selection, Defensive Player of the Year, 2-time NBA MVP, and 75th Anniversary NBA team pick.
