I don't think he is beasting and overpowering defenders like BD. I was thinking more of a shorter better passing Latrell Sprewell.
Give him a couple years, he should beat over powering dudes. Just needs to get some weight room time in.
People on Reddit were struggling to find a comp for Roy: how about a more athletic, taller CJ? Roy had an amazing ability to get a layup whenever he wanted and was tough to defend because he was so shifty. (Now everybody says that Kobe said that Roy was the toughest to guard, but I remember it being Ron Artest who said it first. And he was asked "tougher than Kobe?" and said yes. This was when Artest was on the Rockets.) [I looked it up and all I could find was this.]
When I think of a Blazer comp for Roy, my first thoughts were Isaiah Rider and Bonzi Wells. Roy: 6'6", 215 lbs (career PER 20.0) Rider: 6'5, 215 lbs (career PER 14.7) Wells: 6'5, 210 lbs (career PER 16.1) Looking at season 4 for each of them: They all had strong post-up moves and all could create their own shots. Roy was the best overall individual player of the 3, but was also a much better team player.
No, I don’t see that really. Rose was/is like Dame and BD. Using their muscle and strength. They take it to peoples chest! Ja is fast and agile. Like AI if you ask me.
