I hope you're talking about

I hope you're talking about the style in which they play and not how good you expect them to be because that list is absurd. Kelly Olynk to Marc Gasol? And Goodwin is somewhere between two all-nba players? These are all best best best case senarios.

N2

I really like the Nerlens Noel comparison. Definitely haven't seen that one before.

Dude, PLAYSTYLE. John

Dude, PLAYSTYLE.
John Calipari even said Goodwin reminds him of Westbrook.
Y'all don't know what playstyle is????? Think about 2K, Do players have to be the same overall to play similarly or have the same play style?

Comparisons aren't really all

Comparisons aren't really all about style though. It is a combination of style AND ability.

I could compare my game to MJ's because I shoot a lot of fadeaways and stick my tongue out in your scenario.

No, you would have to do a lot more than shoot fadeways.

Cody Zeller

I was trying to work out a comparison for Cody Zeller. I did originally think of Danny Ferry and Christian Leattner but am not sure these are too true.

All were highly publicized all-americans playing for traditional powerhouse college teams. All with average athleticism. Not overly good rebounders or shot blockers for their size. I might have to watch a few old Danny Ferry games but both Laettner and Zeller have good sound fundamentals and good bball IQ.... I don't think Zeller quite has the shooting range of these two either, but that might develop....

I will keep pondering on this one...

Porter

Porter - I see a bit of Gerlad Wallace. He does a bit of everything and can fill a stat sheet up...

Thank you for clarifying that

Thank you for clarifying that it was the Heat's Chris Bosh and not the other one. For a second there I was confused AF.
