Rudy Gay is much more explosvie than Porter. He's more of a below the rim type player ala Danny Granger

I want Otto, shabazz has a horrible attitude and won't succeed at the next level without a change in that as well as developing a game besides what he has now

Oh and by the way, comparing Smart to Paul is an awful comparison. He has been compared alot more to James Harden maybe even Jason Kidd. He is nothing like the type of player Paul is. Is a big physical guard that fills it up.

So would that mean that these two are similar players?

Would a worse shooting, worse assisting John Wall be a good comparison? Stats including turnovers are pretty similar.

Flip Saunders was on SVP last week and they talked about his time coaching Wall. He mentioned just how bad a shooter he is and how it he'd never be elite if he didn't improve.
He also talked about his pick and roll defense being awful. Which goes to show that just being a great athlete doesn't make you a good defender.

According to this we'd take Smart at #1 Overall, which wouldn't make sense imo because of GV, and Porter then Shabazz at pretty much every other spot.

I really haven't watched Smart this year
Is Deron Williams the best comparison?
Regardless, starting PG is really the least of our problems.
If we somehow lucked into the first or second pick and it's a choice between McLemore and Smart, I go McLemore every time.

Not saying that I would compare him to harden, just that it a player a lot of people have compared him to.

So if a player is compared to 2 players those 2 have to be the same type player. Is it not possible for a player to have similar aspects?
As far as, the Harden comparison I don't particularly see it. I was just stating that many have compared him to Harden. With Kidd I think they are both big PGs with a less than excellent shot, but an explosive game. BTW I'm talking about early Kidd.

Yes, both comparisons should be similar if he is similar to both. That said, Harden and Kidd are about as different as two guards can be, so it makes it even more glaring.

I would MUCH rather take Oladipo over Shabazz

I still love how no one seems to grasp reading comprehension. One more time. I was naming players that others compared him too.

Okay, and considering that those players are nothing alike, it's probably safe to say one of them is an inaccurate comparison. Don't be so defensive, dog.

I just ran some stats for comparison and Smart did look comparable to Kidd with defensive stats like rebounding and steals. But his shooting is just really, really bad compared to other big guards that have become stars. It boggles my mind how he can be considered a top pick while shooting much worse than other guys that weren't considered good shooters and took several years just to become adequate. He also does turn the ball over significantly more than everyone else.
*stats are from the last college season for each player.
