    According to that, Boban has greater value than Meyers or Allen Crabbe...

    So.... Lillard is forecast to get worse every year as he enters his prime?

    Yikes, none of our guys look good. Evan Turner looks particularly bad.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    If those Similarity scores are in percentiles, it appears that CARMELO doesn't consider there to be any particularly good comparisons for Lillard, since Terry is only a 52.

    Also, that Brandon Roy chart (#5 comp for Lillard) is so sad to look at.

    I thought the Gilbert Arenas comparison was fair, but I doubt Lillard goes through the dumb antics he got himself into.

    I love some of the old names that even I have never heard of. Mo Harkless is Tom Abernethy in 1978.

    Presumably that's a sign of a unique player. Steph Curry's highest comp is 22. (And it's Michael Jordan.)

    Noah Vonleh's second most comparable player is Li Jianlian. I was indifferent about Vonleh's future, but now I'm stoked, because according to Kingspeed, that means he's going to be an all star!

    Ezeli has already peaked. He's Will Perdue with bad knees. His 5-year projected value is $13.9 million.

    Note to Neil Olshey: that's $13.9 million TOTAL for 5 years, not $13.9 million per year.

    One thing (possibly the ONLY thing) this metric got right is it shows what great values Aminu and Ed Davis are. Aminu's 5-year projected value is $80.1 million and Ed's is $101.0 million.

    OK, maybe not so legit after all...

    Really? Who knew? Guess maybe we don't need Festus Perdue after all.
