  Agreed. Only in Bennett’s wet dreams does he have the offensive abilities of a Carmelo.

that there isn’t a long history of skinny 6’6 PG who have played in the league BUT comparing MCW to Livingston is like comparing my back yard wrestling persona The Hurricane to Hulk Hogan…it’s just insulting.
(FYI a mattress does nothing to break the fall from 5 ft or up!)

McLemore is a much better athlete than Kevin Martin…J-Rich is a better comparison in my mind.
KCP is a better shooter than Taylor and not nearly as good an athlete…Wes Mathews is better to me.
CJ can shoot better than Monta today….Mo Williams could be more accurate.
Trey Burke has nowhere near the quickness of Lawson- Jameer Nelson is closer for me.

Most of the comparisons are quite funny. Starting with Anthony Bennet … he’s poor man’s Jeff Green as of now. Thoughts?

Ok, you guys, if the Bennett comparison is so out there, then who is a CURRENT (no Larry Johnson, no ROdney Rogers) player who Bennett compares to, for the sake of the exercise? Because Melo is the best I feel I could come up with

  I’d probably say Paul Millsap. He’s got a nice faceup game, good but not great rebounder, can fall in love with his outside shot, is kind of a combo forward, a little bit inbetween positions, but is still a high quality and productive player and is good enough to play time at both F spots.

Anthony Bennett comparison? What about Boris Diaw? Can do some of everything and fill up a stat sheet. Not the tallest guy
but a lot of bulk. Diaw put up some great stats in his prime.

  No where near the ball handler, passer or natural distributer. Diaw dropped 7 apg one year.

    Why do you have multiple accounts? Bennett is far more talented offensively than Diaw ever dream of being.
