Player comparison that you can't stand for the 2007 Prospects
Which player comparison for the 2007 prospects makes you want to slam your fist down?
Is it comparing BWright to Bosh, Durant to Lewis or some other comparison?

Re: Player comparison that you can't stand for the 2007 Prospects
Well,I don't like the Boris Diaw comparisons on both Jeff Green and Julian Wright...it really makes it hard for me to distinguish the two especially since I have seldom seen Julian Wright play. It also makes me underrate Julian's supposed athleticism.
I'm also uncomfortable with Conley's TJ Ford/Chris Paul comparison...he wasn't that type of dominant scoring point guard out of college.

"If you've ever seen Iverson play in person, you know that his improvisational skills are amazing. Baron Davis calls him unguardable. He's a killer on the fast break. One on one, even one on two, when the guy they call the Answer is on a one-way trip to the basket, you better just foul him. People can hate all day about the number of shot attempts. But, damn, give him props for even getting them up. He's small enough to have every shot contested. That 39% shooting sounds terrible to the regular reader, but have you seen these NBA players lately?"

COnley to Chris Paul tops the list.
Kevin Durant to KG/dirk, he's more like T-mac

Bingo
Also, Jared Jordan to Steve Nash. Nash was a high level prospect coming into the draft rregardless of how people try to recreate history.

Some people compared them because of the similar hairstyles they had. I know it's pointless and stupid.

durant and tmac is one of the worst. both guys can score. that's about all that's similar. they score in completely different ways, play totally different, and aren't built the same either.

FWIW, when Durant was interviewed on Sportscenter last week, he said that the NBA player his game is closest to is Nowitzki.
