  I get it Monk/Archie Goodwin because both are from Arkansas and they Monk might go to Kentucky. That’s the only thing that’s comparable in their games.

Honestly you are forgetting one of the best players in the class of 2016 who can hang with any of these players in Rawle Alkins I have seen him play up close and the kid is the truth. Plays like Lance Stephenson without all the stupid antics and headcase issues. Think he will for sure be a lottery pick for the 2017 draft

  Kind of a reach on that one. Moses is a top 15 player of all time

  I gave you -1 for those awful comparisons, looked at your profile pic and immediately gave you +1…Now I’m gonna flag you for an inappropriate profile pic. Nonsense is clouding my judgement!

I will play (this is strictly playing style, take off impact glasses, and take off off the court glasses):
1. Harry Giles- Chris Webber
2. Josh Jackson- Andrew Wiggins
3. Jayson Tatum- Skinnier Jabari Parker (I will get accused of a lazy comparison, but look at film. Freakishly similar moves)
4. Dennis Smith Jr.- Damian Lillard
5. Miles Bridges- Justise Winslow
6. De’Aaron Fox- Jrue Holliday
7. Kobi Simmons- Javaris Crittendon
8. Rawle Alkins- Marcus Smart/Rashad McCants hybrid
