Player comparisons

For those who have seen the new recruits play or follow closely, can you give a player comparison to those of us who havent seen anything but highlight clips?

On the board, there have been a few comparisons so I'll add them here.

1)Nurideen Lindsey - Marcus Hatten, Dwight Hardy
2)D'Angelo Harrison -
3)Phillip Greene -
4)Maurice Harkless -
5)Dom Pointer - Andre Iguodala
6)Amir Garret -
7)Jakarr Sampson -
8)Norvel Pelle -
9)Gods Gift -

Best I've seen on Pelle was from a USC board when they were recruiting him - Marcus Camby.  Not comparing him to the Wooden Award Winner he'd become - but the HS recruit/Frosh he was in 1993 - for those that don't remember, as a frosh at UMASS Camby was 10.2 pts, 6.4 rebs, 47% FG, 59% Fts,  with 105 blocks (3.6 blocks per game)....depending on minutes, I think those numbers are doable for Pelle this season.

I think I compared Pelle to a young Patrick Ewing awhile back 

I hate this, but I'll play along:


1)Nurideen Lindsey - Less physical Tony Allen
2)D'Angelo Harrison - Scottie Reynolds (uncanny really)
3)Phillip Greene -  Ben Gordon
4)Maurice Harkless - Todd Burgan
5)Dom Pointer - Sam Young
 6)Amir Garret - Bigger, more athletic Paris Horne with a better handle
7)Jakarr Sampson - Ebanks
8)Norvel Pelle -  Jajaun Johnson
9)Gods Gift - no idea

So Phil Greene is going to be our best player?

On the board, there have been a few comparisons so I'll add them here.

1)Nurideen Lindsey - butcher Lisa Leslie
2)D'Angelo Harrison - skinnier Hawthorne Wingo
3)Phillip Greene - greener Jo Jo White
4)Maurice Harkless - taller Dom Pointer
5)Dom Pointer - shorter Maurice Harkless
6)Amir Garret -  Steve Carlton
7)Jakarr Sampson - Paul Berwanger
8)Norvel Pelle -  Twiggy
9)Gods Gift - Chris Washburn

I hate to disagree with you fun but I think GG looks almost identical to Jack Wolfinger side by side

I haven't seen Nurideen Lindsey play but I've heard Monte Ellis

Dom Pointer reminds me a little of a small Andre Iggy

Maurice Harkless reminds me of Marshon Brooks

Pelle seems similar to Serge Ibaka

Just kind of throwing out comparisons hopefully people will compare others to them

I like Dom Pointer as Jason Richardson (whose offense was hit and miss early at Michigan State).

Wolfinger can take the ball up court. Other than that you're right - they're indistinguishable from one another. I've got the next round.

I'll play...

1) Nurideen Lindsey- Tiny Archibald
2) D'Angelo Harrison- Allen Iverson
3) Phillip Greene- Bobby Jackson
4) Maurice Harkless- Wesley Johnson
5) Dom Pointer - Kendall Gill
6) Amir Garret- Richard Jefferson
7) Jakarr Sampson- Antonio McDyess
Norvel Pelle- Samuel Dalembert
9) Gods Gift- Ronny Turiaf

Does anyone else see Moe as a poor man's Durant? That's the first guy I think of. They both are tall, lanky 3's, good shooters (great in Durant's case) and can post up if guarded by a smaller defender. Neither is known for their defense but their wingspans definitely factor in on D. Thoughts?

   Nice Dave!  A backcourt of Tiny and Iverson is what dreams are made of.  We should be so lucky.  I'll take 1/2 of that ability right there.

Malik Stith- Diana Taurasi...

I almost positive Marillac stole my Pointer-Sam Young and Harrison-Reynolds comparisons, but I'll give it a shot.  Mind you these comparisons are not based on how good the players will be rather style of play, style, build and skill set.

Lindsey-no idea
Greene- Russell Robinson
Harrison- Scotty Reynolds
Pointer- Sam Young
Harkless- Preston Shumpert
Garrett- Dahntay Jones
Jakarr Sampson- Hakim Warrick
Pelle- Stromile Swift
God's Gift- no idea...hopefully a Arinze Onuaku or better.

  Pointer reminds me of Ray Jackson from the Fab 5.

Ok I'll play. Based on my careful analysis of these recruits here are my comparisons

1. Nuri-Steve Blake
2. Greene-Jose Juan Barea
3. Harrison- Drazen Petrovic ( before car accident )
4. Pointer-David Lee
5. Harkless-Larry Bird
6.Garrett-Danny Ainge
7.Jakaar-Adam Morrison
8.Pelle-Bill Walton
9.Gods Gift-Jesus Christ

Harrison-Draz I got on my own

I thought you would have given Jakarr a little more love. At least a Toni Kukoc
