Our realistic draft option: Pro Comparisons and Potential

quote:

---

I see him becoming a smaller Paul George.

One of Paul George's biggest positives is his defensive ability. I don't think Hield will be close to George defensively.

Kris Dunn: has the potential to be Lillard/Westbrook.

---

Wall is probably a better "best case scenario" for Dunn.

quote:

Jamal Murray

---

I could see him being similar to Devin Booker.

Thompson is big. Murray is small.

You're talking Klay at 6"7 and a 6"9 wingspan to Murray at 6"4.25 and a 6"6.5 wingspan.

The best comparisons I have seen for Murray are Cj McCollum, OJ Mayo, and an outside chance at a Chauncey Billups later in his career when his athleticism slowed a bit.

Defense is likely to always be a bit of an issue with him TBH.

Most of these comparisons are awful.

Dunn is more John Wall or Jordan Clarkson than Lillard/Westbrook.

Heild is more CJ McCollum.

Dunn and Westbrook comparisons are spot on imo. IDK why people are freaking out about it so much. Westbrook couldn't shoot for shite his first few years in the league. Dunn is a better floor general. Westbrook is a better athlete. But their games even look similar when you watch Dunn. I don't see Wall as much.

And people mad at the brown comparison? look at the kid. He's a freakish athletic specimen. Just work on shooting and handles and he could be unstoppable. Dunn looks and plays just like Westbrook to me. He doesn't pass or shoot like John Wall. That's a stupid comparison. Jamal plays like Eric Gordon did in college. Heild's moves remind me of Paul George. He's just a smaller version.

Not if Brown reaches his potential. DEFINITELY won't be Simmons. Maybe Ingram. Heild is the safest pick and has the work ethic to get 10x better,

Kris Dunn - nothing like Lillard, who's an elite shooter. has Westbrook potential, but obviously isn't Westbrook. Closer to John Wall, but not quite that either. If Dunn can prove to be a good distributer and improve his shot, he can get to the Wall potential.

Murray - I see EG from last year, not even clipper EG. Poor defender, not athletic, short for a sg.

Hield - Likely a Jamal Crawford type.

Not interested in anyone else.

Dunn works just has hard as hield.

people say CJ McCollum because he was also a graduating senior. Buddy is bigger, and has a better shot. CJ is a lot scrappier on defense. He had almost twice the steals as Buddy his peak college year.

I like the Bradley Beal/Devin Booker comps... size and shooting skills are comparable

I think it is lost on people how much Buddy carried Oklahoma against a really good schedule with very little help. There was not a high level "5 star" recruit on that team. Even more lost on us is that he was not an AAU life long prospect or even a good high school player, but rather was practicing shooting into a makeshift basket made from a milk crate just a few years ago in the Bahamas. PHOTO / STORY

He is older than other prospects coming out. Older than Beal or Booker were when they left their loaded teams. As far as the progress he has made PER YEAR of high level coaching, no one is keeping up with him.

I want this kid on our team. He has plenty more room to grow as a player.

Murray is taller than hield. Those two are basically the same player except Murray is 3 years younger a

That's exactly why I choose Murray over Heild
