    You don't get to be annoyed that I made that post prior to your comment about AK-47. And regardless of your delicate sensibilities, the fact is that most of the people were throwing out names like McHale and Chambers. The majority of players in the NBA are black.... so why do we need to struggle to find white guys to compare him to?

    It's a moot point...I get to decide what annoys me...I'm not annoyed...I just compared him to AK47....hadn't even read your other post until someone commented on it...it's not personal..it's topical....I don't see people struggling to compare him to white guys....Europe has a lot of them..I'm rarely serious about any of this stuff...labels...just have fun with it

    I like the Pau comparison.

    In the end Zach will be Zach. He shows some traits from several very good bigs... but he's a long ways from being as good as any of them.

    If I was going to buy another jersey it would be his. Too much potential physically and mentally to be average.

    He reminds me of a less muscular but less awkward Meyers, but with better defense and footwork, and a faster shot

    So, not Meyers. I agree.

    He's the exact opposite of @HCP.

    Well that was inevitable. These threads always go from a very innocent question asking who someone "reminds" you of....to posters turning it into "no he will will never be as good as that player".

    Not the question folks.

    He reminds me of a more defensively inclined LMA, but without the ego.

    With that said, he will probably end up better on defense, but not as prolific at offense.

    Wait. That kind of sounds like Sheed now......

    In the past I've compared Collins to Sheed and Biggie to Grant.

    Definitely less athletic than young Sheed though.

    Absolutely, but the important similarity that I see is that they're both defensive players first and both 2-way players.
