How do you guys feel about these comparisons, i tried not to use nbadraft.net’s comparisons
Marcus Denmon- Marcus Thornton
MKG- Andre Iguodala/Scottie Pippen
Austin Rivers- Monta Ellis
Andre Drummond- Andrew Bynum
Perry Jones- Tracy McGrady(CELING!!!)
Arnett Moultrie- Lamar Odom
John Henson- Marcus Camby
What are your thoughts, any better comparisons??

 Austin rivers-Oj mayo, someone around me also compared him to d will just what out the same pg skill and I can second that. Austin can create off the dribble and has an array of moves like d will to do so but also big enough to bully his way to the paint on smaller pgs he may not be the fastest but like rivers.  Both share a high IQ for basketball but rivers wont be near the playmaker deron is.

This site already uses the Rivers- Mayo comparison

[Harbinger]

just skimmed your post sorry but I think he will be better then mayo but like I was saying he does remind me of Deron william but I dont think he will be the same playmaker he is.The ability to create space with an infinity amout of moves gives the defense a hard time of stopping both players.

@Harbinger.

I don’t know what you’re looking at if you think Rivers is like Deron.  Deron is a pass first PG who bully’s other guards.  Rivers is a scorer with an electric first step.  One looks to pass, the other to score, one is really really strong for his position, the other is kinda skinny.

Anyways @TheRealDJ for the most part they aren’t terrible but a few guys you were way off on.  Moultrie is not a point forward and has zero PG skills.  Moultrie is also really raw on the perimeter but does his damage in the paint using his athleticism to get by defenders, and has a nice scoring touch down low.  Moultrie’s game is reminiscent of Chris Bosh’s in a way on offense just not nearly as prolific.  If you were to take away all of Odom’s playmaking ability and his outside shot then you could say he’d remind you of Moultrie I guess.

MKG reminds me of Iggy and Gerald Wallace, I think people might have a problem with throwing Pippen into it.  Iggy was good enough for that type of player.

Perry Jones has T-Mac type athleticism, but he’s nowhere near the shooter or playmaker T-Mac was nor will he ever be.  Jones is going to settle into the role of a forward in the NBA while T-Mac was always just a tall guard.  Jones has some guard skills but he’ll never come close to the type of skill on the perimeter T-Mac had.

 PJ3 don’t really have any good comparisons playing in the league right now but the closest that comes to my head would be a 6’11 version of Thad Young.

The rest were good.  I like the Rivers-Ellis comparison.

 Will barton reminds me of jamal crawford and jr smith

MKG- Gerald Wallace

Austin Rivers- Monta Ellis – Agree

Andre Drummond- Derrick Favors

Perry Jones- Rudy Gay ( best case), Hakim Warrick (worst case)

Arnett Moultrie- Al Horford

John Henson- Marcus Camby meets Anthony Randolph

Anthony Davis- Kevin Garnett meets Camby

Bradley Beal- Less Athletic Eric Gordon

@shipargos: You can’t really compare Drummond to Favors because we dont even know what Favors is yet, he hasn’t reached his potential. But I like the others

[NotHamedHaddadiParticipant]

Wow I actually really like the Perry and Thad Young comparison that’s a good one.

I was just thinking that Moultrie has had some experience on the wing like Odom, and this site comparison to Jermaine O’Neal is horrible lol.

And yea I guess Pippen is too high of a celing for MKG but he could get there eventually.

[Harbinger]

 I said playmaking wise rivers will be nothing like williams but scoring wise they are similiar  both around the 6’4 height area and I can bet you as a freshmen they were both in the same weight area deron being a lil more meaty.

Step back shots,hesitation, pick and roll play OFF BALL screens are things both do heavy If you want to dig back into the utah days with deron. He’s and underrated scorer have you forgot hes the main reason utah was succesful come playoff time and alot of the scoring was on him  due to an always hurt boozer and a void at sg korver isnt getting any open shoots let alone any shoots if not for deron penetration , a pass from the post, or screen. Bassically when rose was on his scoring rampage kyle was doing the same thing he was doing in utah only because the scoring the pg brings.Say what you want about being pass first deron is a big time scorer when he wants to be and i see his offensive game in rivers.
