Compare the current Memphis Grizzlies to other current or former NBA Players. Here are my comparisons. Pau Gasol - A Young Kevin Garnett Earl Watson - Earl Boykins (In the sense that he is short, but plays tall) Robert Archibald - Evan Eschmeyer Czezary Trybanski - A less skilled Shawn Bradley Stromile Swift - Lamar Odom Jason Williams - Gary Payton Michael Dickerson - Penny Hardaway (After Injury) Lorenzen Wright - An old Eddie Curry minus the potential Shane Battier - A tall Jason Kidd Mike Miller - Richard Jefferson I'll think of more later
ooh nice thread Pau Gasol- softer KG Earl Watson- Spudd Webb Stromile Swift-Drew Gooden Michael Dickerson-yeah i guess penny i cant think of any others Lorenzen Wright- Michael Olowakandi Shane Battier-Devean George Mike Miller- that one is hard Wesley Person- Jeff Hornacek
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "cross;yo;ova":</div><div class="quote_post">pau gasol and the young dirk[they run the same]</div>I don't think that they are remotely alike. When I look at their similarities I only see that they are both white Europeans. Pau Gasol is a skinny, long and weak player. He plays PF and he is never as agressive as he needs to be. He relies on his hook shot and his layups to score. He has no outside shot at all. He is also a horrible team leader. Dirk is a SF/PF/C that is very physical, has no hook shot, and has a great outside game. He is also a great team leader.

He played in less than twenty games last year and his career high in points was 5.

Mike Miller is more of a ROY bust.
