I don't like the Kenny Anderson comparison. AJ is 40 pounds heavier then Kenny. Kenny was all handles and quickness.
As others have said: Eric Snow. Good size, more of a passer than a scorer, not a great outside shooter. He's left-handed, though, which is even better. Ed O.
Oddly enough I was only attempting humor. Being a jerk never really crossed my mind ... however it's entirely possible that being a jerk just comes naturally to me and requires no effort.
Absolutely. For instance I think Patty reminds more than a couple people of Damon (for better or worse) and Bayless never reminded me of anybody I'd ever really call good point guard.
Many people were reminded of Steve Nash by Sergio (these people failed to notice that Steve Nash can shoot lights out, but they were still reminded).
Not at all like Anderson. Anderson was amazing with the ball and really quick. I think you're forgetting what kind of player Kenny Anderson was. Ed O.
I remember watching Kenny plenty. Even with the Nets when he was in his prime. He was definitely a speed demon, but like Armon he played with that herky-jerky left handed style, basically living off mid-range floaters. I think a lot of people are underrating Armon's speed. I've seen him in the opencourt, he's definitely no Eric Snow running the break.
Kenny was lightning quick and weighed 165lbs at best! AJ is an up in your face solid rocked out player. More strength then speed!
If you don't think Armon is quick I don't know what to tell you. I've seen him blow by his defender several times this year to get in the paint easily. http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Armon-Johnson-5752/ http://www.nbadraft.net/players/armon-johnson http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/10/27/armon-johnson-puts-on-a-rather-quiet-show/
right, while making two straight 3pt attempts speaks volumes... got it! is John Wall thought to be quick? Here's his pre-draft stuff next to Armon's Height Lbs Wing StndRch Vert/1Step Agility Sprint JW 6'2.75 196 6'9.25 8'5.5 30.0/39.0 11'8.5 10.84 3.14 AJ- 6'2.00 195 6'8.00 8'3.5 31.5/38.5 11'6.0 11.25 3.19 I don't get the OP comparison other then a little by the looks of their long arms hoisting jumpers from on top of their heads. As far as style of play Van X was an offensive player primarily with that deadly J of his... he was a great go-to option at the end of the clock and game. I see Johnson more as defender/athlete more along the lines of Russell Westbrooke STOMP
the pre-draft stuff shows AJ to be the slightest shade behind him in size/speed. Skill level separates them more then athleticism/size STOMP
Pretty much. I'm wondering what Kenny Anderson measured out to during his pre-draft. I've looked, but I don't think it goes that far back.
