     After watching Harvard beat Cincy, I have come up with what I think is a somewhat decent comparison for Kilpatrick, Marcus Thorton. They have very similar size, Kilpatrick is a good shooter which is how Thorton has been able to make his money. 

    Kilpatrick is likely not as athletic as Thorton is but still I think a relative comparison. What do you guys think?

    He’s not an explosive athlete but he’s decent. Marcus Thornton is actually a decent comparison. I think Kilpatrick can come off the bench and shoot 3’s for a contender after a couple years of riding the pine

     Not sure how you can consider Marcus Thornton a better athlete than basically any non-white NBA player or Kilpatrick. I googled "marcus thornton dunk" and within the top 10 shown, 4 were of a different Marcus Thornton in high school and another was titled "Marcus Thornton bad pass James Harden dunk".

      I didnt suggest either of them were elite athletes. But that I suspect Kilpatrick isnt as much of an athlete. And as for your not being able to find a Thornton dunk I searched "Marcus Thornton dunk" on youtube and there are around 3 or 4 dunks from his NBA career. Again, I never suggested either were "elite"or explosive.

    I think Kilpatrick is a better defender than Thorton and can contribute without the ball being in his hands. I don’t agree with Thorton comparison at all.

     Kilpatrick is actually a gnarly underratted defender and too be honest I think he’ll be a more coveted player than Thornton when all is said and done. Kilpatrick isn’t the volume scorer of Marcus, but he does the other things way better.

     I think he’s closer to Jodi Meeks, because as No Left mentioend, he’s a pretty solid defender and is stronger than a guy like Thornton. I think Kilpatrick isn’t quite as good a as Meeks, because I feel his shot isn’t as good, but I think they are similar players.
