    It’s been frustrating to me that I can’t view the old pages of prospects who have been compared to some NBA Players… At least I remembered some guys who got compared to who and it’s probably an opportunity for some guys who just recently tuned in to this site to know who got compared to who…

    This is no particular order:

    Kenyon Martin = NBA Comparison: Rasheed Wallace
    Stromile Swift = NBA Comparison: Shawn Kemp
    Darius Miles = NBA Comparison: Tracy McGrady
    Marcus Fizer = NBA Comparison: Charles Barkley
    Hedo Turkoglu = NBA Comparison: Peja Stojakovic
    DeShawn Stevenson = NBA Comparison: Michael Jordan (LOL, the craziest ever!)
    Kwame Brown = NBA Comparison: Kevin Garnett (yikes!)
    Tyson Chandler = NBA Comparison: Rasheed Wallace
    Pau Gasol = NBA Comparison: Toni Kukoc
    Jason Richardson = NBA Comparison: Vince Carter
    Shane Battier = NBA Comparison: Bobby Jones (sixer)
    DeSagana Diop = NBA Comparison: Bob Lanier
    Eddy Curry = NBA Comparison: Shaq
    Richard Jefferson = NBA Comparison: Tim Thomas
    Joe Johnson = NBA Comparison: Penny Hardaway
    Dermarr Johnson = NBA Comparison:Scottie Pippen
    Joel Pryzbilla = NBA Comparison: Luc Longley
    Jamal Crawford = NBA Comparison: Ron Harper
    Yao Ming = NBA Comparison: Rik Smits
    Carlos Boozer = NBA Comparison: Maurice Taylor
    Jay Williams = NBA Comparison: Stephon Marbury
    Mike Dunleavy = NBA Comparison: Larry Bird
    Drew Gooden = NBA Comparison: Jermaine O’Neal
    Nene = NBA Comparison: Hakeem Olajuwon
    Amar’e Stoudemire = NBA Comparison: Ben Wallace
    Caron Butler = NBA Comparison: Paul Pierce
    Dajuan Wagner = NBA Comparison: Allen Iverson
    LeBron James = NBA Comparison: Magic Johnson
    Carmelo Anthony = NBA Comparison: Glenn Robinson/Antoine Walker
    Chris Bosh = NBA Comparison: Tim Duncan/Kevin Garnett
    Kirk Hinrich = NBA Comparison: Sam Cassell
    TJ Ford = NBA Comparison: Kenny Anderson
    Mike sweetney = NBA Comparison: Elton Brand (less athletic)
    Mickael Pietrus = NBA Comparison: Fred Jones (taller)
    David West = NBA Comparison: Derrick Coleman
    Jarvis Hayes = NBA Comparison: Allan Houston
    Josh Howard = NBA Comparison: James Posey
    Jason Kapono = NBA Comparison: Eric Piatkowski
    Mo Williams = NBA Comparison: Mike Bibby
    Dwight Howard = NBA Comparison: Kwame Brown!!!!!!!!!!
    Emeka Okafor = NBA Comparison: Ben Wallace
    Ben Gordon = NBA Comparison: Joe Dumars
    Luol Deng = NBA Comparison: Grant Hill
    Andre Iguodala = NBA Comparison: Paul Pierce
    Josh Smith = NBA Comparison: Vince Carter (with heart)
    Anderson Varejao = NBA Comparison: Drew Gooden
    Kevin Martin = NBA Comparison: Kerry Kittles
    Andrew Bogut = NBA Comparison: Vlade Divac
    Chris Paul = NBA Comparison: Isiah Thomas
    Deron Williams = NBA Comparison: Andre Miller
    Martell Webster = NBA Comparison: Glen Rice
    Channing Frye = NBA Comparison: Jarron Collins
    Charlie Villanueva = NBA Comparison: Lamar odom
    Ike Diogu = NBA Comparison: Malik Rose
    Gerald Green = NBA Comparison: Tracy McGrady
    Sean May = NBA Comparison: Zach randolph
    Francisco Garcia = NBA Comparison: Reggie Miller
    Joey Graham = NBA Comparison: Caron Butler
    Rashad McCants = NBA Comparison: Gilbert Arenas
    Hakim Warrick = NBA Comparison: Marcus Camby (what?!)
    Danny Granger = NBA Comparison: Eddie Griffin (small version)

    Aran, am I right?LOL

    Note: If you were to give Marvin Williams a comparison, who would it be? why? Because Marvin has no comparison in the profile as far as I remembered…

    Which one is right on the money? Which one is ridiculous? well, I know these are the comparisons made by this site… This is dedicated to the new users who just tuned in… Happy Holidays!

    Francisco Garcia to Reggie Miller is also a funny one lol….Even though they are similar in some ways..

    And to answer your question, I think that Marvin Williams is comparable to Tim Thomas or possibly Caron Butler.

    i always laugh when i see the josh smith vince carter with heart. vince has alot of heart just would give up to much. this is why people need to compare players to lower level nba players first or have a best worst case instead of saying every good hs or college player is comparable to a nba star cuz as we can see 75% or more never pan out that way

    I’m glad you posted this because NBADraft.net dropped the ball on not allowing us to see old player profiles. It makes for great comedy for some (Stevenson is the epitome of that comment lol) or great evaluation for others (Magic/LeBron comparison is too accurate)

    Ahh, it has been a while since I’ve read a lake_show comment that counters itself.

     Awwww man

    I need to favorite this thread. For the past year I have only had the Deshawn Stevenson/MJ comparison as a source of alot of my jokes but little did I know that there was a Dwight Howard/Kwame Brown comparison lurking in the background.

    Back to that Stevenson to Micheal Jordan comparisions..Stevenson came out of high school when prep to pros stars like Kobe,KG & TMac were immediate all stars,had major endorsement deals,global icons and were among the nba best players..So it was kind of understandable for people to get excited and maybe expects alot from a high schooler like Stevenson,who comes along with amazing athlete skills,a great defender,amazing dunker and had very good 1 on 1 skills..

    Right now, Stevenson is still 1 of the best defenders in the nba and better shooters..But he never had anyone learn him to play the game the right way…And he didnt have the mindset of a superstar..He thought his talent would remain at the same level he was at when he was in high school, dominating his competition….Thats the difference from him and a guy like Wade that had that determination to become better..If they had to chose between Wade coming out of high school or Stevenson high school career..It would be a no-brainer..Wade wouldnt got drafted…But he had a much better mindset then Stevenson…

     Grant hill pre-injury was one of the most athletic players I have seen Luol Deng didnt even come close… I would say he was as athletic as TMac in his prime…
