Seeing that we are well into the season, and we've had time to see our rookies, I want to see what yall think they play like.Rudy Gay-Darius Miles(a verison who actaully gets better and shoots better)Ty Thomas-Stromile Swift(the verison that is exactly like him :HAHAHA: )Ronnie Brewer-Joe Johnson, the dude can handle
Renaldo Balkman- I dont even know despite the fact he looks high and drunk all the time he is very aggresive and a beast. But I cant think of anyone.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (austingriz76 @ Nov 24 2006, 04:52 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>sssoooRenaldo-Artest </div>Nah, Renaldo hasn't strolled into the stands yet. Or rapped. Or advertised with his hair. Or broken a tv camera. Or been traded. Or changed his mind. Or then actually be traded. Or been suspended for doing stuff he never did. Or been known as public enemy #1. Or been known as David Stern enemy #1. Or been in Slam. Or been booed in Indiana. Or been traded for an allstar. Or been labled a nutcase. Or been one of the worst album producers ever. Or blown up a team. Or been traded for an all-star who went on to sign a 60 million dollar contract to play in a hurricane-driven city. Or been one of the best defenders. Or been an all-star. Or been a DPOY.
Adam Morrison = Glenn Robinson - Both are around the size, both live off the jumper, both are poor defenders. I think Adam Morrison is a much smarter player and plays with more passion but the similarities are obvious.Renaldo Balkman = Jerome Williams - Both are undersized, not skilled offensively, both live off of defense effort and hustle. I think Williams was more polished on defense but Balkman will learn. Both guys are similar. Those are the two most striking similarities...Rudy Gay, Rajon Rondo, Brandon Roy, Andrea Bargnani and Randy Foye are hard...I can't think of any solid comparisions.
I like BCB's Morrison/Big Dog comparison, that's pretty spot on.LaMarcus Aldridge - Mark BlountI know I know, Aldridge should be 2-3 times the player Blount is. But they move the same, both centers that have smooth 15 foot shots, both a bit soft. Aldridge will be better than Blount, and he'll work harder (hopefully lol), but they are so alike IMO.Saer Sene - Samuel DalembertBoth came into the league as 7'0'', athletic, long, excellent shot blockers but raw and lacking basketball IQ.Paul Millsap - Reggie EvansMillsap reminds me of Reggie Evans 2.0 with better offense. He's tough as nails, excellent rebounder.Mardy Collins - Aaron McKie6'5'' guards, good handle, unselfish, can hit open shots, aggressive defenders, same body.Thabo Sefolosha - Doug ChristieI've heard Scott Skiles say it, and I TOTALLY agree with it. Both are athletic, excellent defenders, can handle the ball and play 3 positions, good passers, hard workers.Quincy Douby = poor man's Bobby JacksonI don't think Douby will ever be a 6th man of the year, but he's a good scorer and a combo guard that will bring energy off the bench.Hassan Adams - Ruben PattersonAthletic, good defenders, they bring energy, short SF's.Steve Novak - Scott PadgettExcellent shooter, not much else. Tall, white.EDIT: Just thought of one more.Bobby Jones - Adrian GriffinNot very good offensively, but can hit the occassional open jumper. Excellent defender, tough, hard worker.
