    I agree with all of yours to be honest. Especially the Marcus Williams/Jalen Rose one. Some others are...Arron Aflalo- Raja BellJeff Green- Brandan RoySpencer Hawes- Brad Miller Brandan Wright- Kevin Garnett

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BrewCityBuck @ May 27 2007, 06:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Greg Oden - Hakeem Olajuwon
    Kevin Durant - Tracy McGrady (On steriods).
    Mike Conley - Chris Paul
    Corey Brewer - Tayshaun Prince
    Al Horford - Vin Baker
    Joakim Noah - Anderson Varejao
    Marcus Williams - Jalen Rose (Stole it from CB32).
    Morris Almond - Michael Redd
    Rodney Stuckey - Dajuan Wagner
    Tiago Splitter - Clifford Robinson</div>
    We have all of those on our draft profiles, except we have David Robinson for Oden, poor man's Gilbert Arenas for Stuckey, and I just copied everybody else's Spliiter comparison (PJ Brown) because I've never seen him play. Also, Robinson was more of a perimeter PF, I don't think Splitter has that kind of game (from what I've read/seen on youtube). Adding to the list:

    Jeff Green - Lamar Odom
    Spencer Hawes - More talented Brad Miller
    Julian Wright - More athletic Andrei Kirilenko with more offensive abilities
    Al Thornton - Hakim Warrick
    Thaddeus Young - Richard Jefferson
    Josh McRoberts - Poor man's Chris Webber
    Derrick Byars - Shane Battier
    Jared Dudley - Ryan Gomes

    He looks like him, but I think he's like Gomes in the sense that he's labeled a "tweener" that is knocked on for being too slow for the 3 and too small for the 4, but he can get by on hustle and smarts alone.

    Al Thornton is more explosive than Al Harrington. [​IMG] Byars may be a little more athletic than Battier, but his game is very similar. He's a defensive minded wing, but he can hit the open jumper and he has good ball skills.

    Tiago Splitter - PJ Brown, he finishes well around the basket, and Splitter does not have a lot of range on his jumpshot like Robinson does. Rudy Fernandez - Manu Ginobili, able to knock down the perimeter jumper with ease, fancy dribbler, can drive into the lane for a game-shifting dunk. Spencer Hawes - Chris Mihm, I just don't think he'll be as good as some people think. Al Thornton - Tyrus Thomas with an offensive game. Nick Young - Jamal Crawford, they both have long arms, employs the mid-range jumper into his offensive game, good finisher, and has great ball-handling skills.

    Thadeuss Young-Andre IgoudalaBoth highflyers, but can shoot. Very good defenders...and excellent playmakers for their positions. People done realize how good of a passer Thadeuss is.

    Yeah, the first time I saw him play this year, he really impressed me with his court vision. Coming in, I thought it was just a scorer, but he has good instincts. He's just so raw right now, he'll need time, but the talent is certainly there.

    Okay, I'll add a few. Durant still reminds me of a more athletic Larry Bird more than a Tracy McGrady. Morris Almond-Michael ReddJoakim Noah-Tyson ChandlerGlen Davis-shorter Eddie CurryMost of them have been done already.

    Glen Davis-Michael SweetneyIm going to go out and do a Jeremy Hunt comparison...cause he MIGHT be draft, or atleast signed as a free agentJeremy Hunt-Michael Reddjust a comparison...not saying Hunt will go in and average 27ppg...but it wouldnt suprise me to see him be a scorer. Hes a excellent shooter, and a very athletic scorer. Can run some point too...

    That Oden - Hakeem comparrison is ridiculous, BCB.Oden may become a 25 ppg scorer but he will never be as graceful and coordinated scorer. Oden is much better compared to David Robinson.

Hawes has much better hands than Chris Mihm had.

    I don't like the Glen Davis-Eddy Curry comparison. Davis can do much more than score in the post.

    Hoopshype compares Durant to Dirk Nowitzki. That's terrible.

He's a kind of unique player; I've seen him compared to Rodney Rodgers (for the frame and shooting), Shaq (which is obviously an uneducated one), and Robert Traylor.
