Our realistic draft option: Pro Comparisons and Potential
Posted on 5/18/16 at 2:26 pm

Kris Dunn: has the potential to be Lillard/Westbrook. I think he turns out to solid like Darren Collison.
Buddy Heild: has amazing potential with his work ethic. I see him becoming a smaller Paul George. Will be best player from this draft in my opinion.
Jamal Murray: hear me out, he has Klay Thompson potential. Do I think he will be like Klay? Probably not. I see him turning out like a better driving Eric Gordon.
Dragon Bender: has Pau Gasol potential. I think he ends up like rookie Porzingis.
Jaylen Brown: has massive potential. I think if he works on his shooting and handles, could be a 25 ppg scorer. Really love this kid. COULD be the best player from this draft.

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.

All these comparisons are way off
Lillard and Goatbrook are both way better scorers than Dunn
George is a career 36% shooter from 3 and is a beast on defense, that comparison is not even close
Murray to Thompson is kinda close
Have you even seen Bender play or are you just comparing him to European bugs, I've never seen Bender play.
Brown a 25 ppg scorer? You serious?

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.

Murray can be a Jeff Hornacek

Most of these comparisons are awful.
Dunn is more John Wall or Jordan Clarkson than Lillard/Westbrook.
Heild is more CJ McCollum.

Heild to me is Bradley Beal. Don't know about others.

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.

Heild will be the best player from this draft?

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,
Posted on 5/18/16 at 3:35 pm to TerranceBrody
Heild- JJ game/with JR chucker tendency
Dunn- Wall build and athleticism with Darren Collison's game
Murray- Kevin Martin/Jeff Hornacek hybrid
Brown- Pels Aminu in 7 years he'll be a Demarre Carrol type player

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.

How can Heild be a chucker when he shoots 50% from 3?
Where are people getting these stupid John Wall comparisons for Dunn?
Murray has a completely different game than Kevin Martin.
That's an insult to Brown. Horrible.

Heild is a chucker because he take a ton of bad shot that are contested and early in the shot clock. He's just a efficient Chucker.
Murray- I think he's like Marin in the relm that at some point he be a great shooter and will give you 20 a game but be awful at defense
Dunn- he has Wall built and Athleticism and speed. I don't think their skill set is the same. Dunn is a better shooter Wall is a better passer.
Dunn in his first 5 year will be bad he really has no skill. If he goes to the right team he could be great.

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

There's no such thing as an efficient chucker. Those players are called scorers.
I like the Murray-Martin comparison a lot actually.
