I've always wondered who Head reminds me of. I figured it out! He resembles a young Eddie Jones. From their looks, body languange, to style play (Jones has better D). Lets see: Luther Head's 2nd year: 11.2 pts 2.6assist 1.1stl 3pt-44% Eddie Jones's 2nd year:12.8pts 3.5assist 1.8stl 3pt-36% Do you think Head's career can be as prosperous as Jones's? I think so. If he continues to blossom then he can be a star.
LOL, just a few pictures of them in the same stance can't really prove anything IMO. I don't think it's fair to compare Head to Eddie Jones now, as Head still cannot create his own shot and Jones has got quicker hands on defense. Not to mention the three inches difference in height. That said though, Head has the chance to be a very good player.
Actually on basketball-reference.com, it says Luther's career so far most matches that of.... Joe Dumars.

If he can shoot off the dribble, and make his layups, Head can go pretty far.

But on the other hand Luther has a a killer first step and if he can wor on his ball handling skills, it could help him become more of a penetrator.
