Draft express compares him to Ronnie Price.
I think he is a combo of Rondo and Gilbert Arenas (just not as good of a shooter).
Before we go comparing the guy to Rondo, it would be nice to see him make a PASS somewhere in that video.
How can you honestly compare a guy whose entire "mixtape" shows him coming off screens and launching 3's to Rajon Rondo???
Either you didn't watch the video or have never seen Rajon Rondo play....which is it?
JR Smith was a decent comparison the way he was running off screens and shooting, although he seems less explosive and more "smooth" then Smith.
BTW - Is it the "mixtape" time of year already? It feels like just yesterday I was watching grainy pixelated Nathan Jawai videos.....Omer Asik mixes set to 80's rap.....and vids of Serge Ibaka shooting 3's in front of crowds of literally HUNDREDS of people....oh the memories.....
The kid looks like he might have some talent....but for one, you have no idea who he's playing against.
Second point.....no one EVER makes a "mixtape" with clips of a guy MISSING shots. You ONLY see the makes. No offense, but even I could probably put together a mixtape of myself playing, and if I only put in my best moves and all the times I launched 3's with 2 guys in my face and the shot went in....it would look impressive.
Mainly because you never see the 5 times I turned the basketball over trying to split a double on a pick and roll or the 4 airballs I launched before I finally made that 3 while being doubled 3 steps behind the arc.
Granted, I am being dramatic and overexagerating here.....but it's only to really make a point.
That point is - EVERYONE looks good in their "mixtapes". No one makes "mixtapes" of guys turning the ball over and playing lackadaisical defense.....or not hustling....or missing shots....even to 25 year old Michael Jackson songs.....just doesn't happen.:chuckles:
