    Some of the names that this site has put out is unfair and just not real. Duncan? Really, the best PF of all time! So I just wanted to give a realistic veiw of what I think these guys can turn out to be.

    Jabari Parker- NBA Comp ( Melo )- Can score with anyone, very good rebounder for a SF, could play a little undersized 4, not a  good defender and needs to be a better passer. Also same body type as Melo.

    Joel Embild- NBA Comp ( Marc Gasol but better )- I think Marc Gasol is a good comp, but will score more, block more and rebond a little more. But won’t have the passing and feel for the game Marc brings to the table.

    Andrew Wiggings- NBA Comp (Scottie Pippen without the passing )- Pippen but no passing but the same defenivse greatness as well getting better on offense every year he gets in the league.

    Julius Randle- NBA Comp ( David West best years )- I just see West when he plays. Undersized 4 with great hands around the basket and and nice shot out to 20 feet. Get in Pick and Pop and can rebond with the best of them, Will never be a great defender. But will work at it.

    Marcus Smart- NBA Comp ( Luol Deng of PG’s ) Not a PG like him, but reminds of Deng. Just will show up and get it done. Can’t shoot his first few years but will still make it happen. Adds a little of everything. But won’t take over games. A good second opp to a superstar and a perfect 3rd opp to a superstar.

    Dante Exum- NBA Comp ( Russell Westbrook ) A taller Westbrook. Can Fly… Get anywhere on the floor. Needs help with the shot. Could be a 20-5-5 guy by his 3rd year.

     

    Thsi is all best cases for the guys. I can only hope they become the players I see when watching. Please let me know what you guys think.

     Julius Randle and David West is laughable. Ive never seen David West pull spin moves and jump over people the way Randle does. Randle is just a freak. West is a ground bound grinder.

    Embiid to Marc Gasol is not good either. Embiid is again WAY more athletic than Gasol. Gasol is a ground bound, High IQ player.

    I dont understand the Marcus Smart one either, I may have read it wrong.

    What about Robert Parish as a comparison for Joel Embiid?   Long, tall, can dunk, run the floor, good rebounder, can block shots, and has shooting range.  Oh, he also has the back of a 45 year old.

    should have been the Memphis no.1 pick version of Pau Gasol perhaps. Tall nimble good passer and shot blocker, some face up skills..
    I like the Parish comparison too Id just say Embid is more fluid

     Okay…..first off i wanna say embiid is nothing like gasol. Literally in what way? not one. Honestly embiid should have stayed one more year and it would have got him millions more than he made his rookie year. Reason is he even admitted himself he isnt ready and he also has had injury priblems cause of minutes. He has no post game no jumper amd no experience. Honestly i compare him to olawakandi or a taller tyrus thomas. he will be a bust. And wiggins to pippen?!?!?! wow the dude has played guard one year at kansas played the post in high sxhpol has no go to move and is not great at any particular thing and has nowhere near the skill work erhic or confidence. just cause they are the same size is crazy if that was the case i should say baby davis is a smaller version of shaq lol. wiggins amd embiid will bust.
