|
Andrea Bargnani |
Tom Chambers. |
No idea. Some unholy hybrid of Darko, Pau Gasol, and Nowitzki? |
|
LaMarcus Aldridge |
Joe Smith…a prototypical PF body who doesn’t play up to his size. |
A fusion of the best traits of Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler. Together, almost one complete player. |
|
Adam Morrison |
Cedric Ceballos..talented scorer but wouldn’t play D if his yacht depended on it. |
Peja with a nasty streak. |
|
Tyrus Thomas |
Shawn Kemp…nope, no baby jokes here. |
Antonio McDyess back when his knees worked. |
|
Shelden Williams |
Elton Brand in an alternate universe… |
Larry Johnson with less offensive ability. |
|
Brandon Roy |
Joe Dumars |
Clyde Drexler. |
|
Randy Foye |
Chauncey Billups |
Mitch Richmond. |
|
Rudy Gay |
Sam Perkins…content to be a spot up scorer when he feels like it |
Tayshaun Prince minus the effort. |
|
Patrick O’Bryant |
Elden Campbell, the later years. |
PJ Brown or Joel Pryzbilla. Someone decent, but not overwhelmingly good. |
|
Mohammed Saer Sene |
Dikembe Mutumbo…nope, no stripper jokes here. |
DeSagna Diop. If they’re lucky. |
|
JJ Redick |
DaJuan Wagner—a total washout. |
Dennis Scott. I’m waiting for the self-portrait tat. |
|
Hilton Armstrong |
A lower scoring Brad Daugherty with good arches. |
Theo Ratliff or Kelvin Cato. One-dimensional, but not an offense-killer. |
|
Thabo Sefolosha |
Rip Hamilton…will make his mark defensively at first before becoming a scorer |
Shane Battier. Mostly because he looks like him and plays defense. |
|
Ronnie Brewer |
Ron Harper |
Eddie Jones. |
|
Ced Simmons |
Ben Wallace |
Chris Wilcox. |
|
Rodney Carney |
Sean Elliott if Sean Elliott was a little crazy or believed his own hype |
Stephen Jackson. The potential to be very good, or go crazy. |
|
Shawne Williams |
Jerome Kersey..started out a SF but wound up as a banger. |
Darius Miles or Ed O’Bannon. Uh-oh. |
|
Oleksiy Pecherov |
Detlef Schrempf…deadly outside shot who’d snap in 2 if he posted up. |
Vlad Radmanovic. |
|
Quincy Douby |
Ray Allen…pure scorer |
Rip Hamilton without the mask. |
|
Renaldo Balkman |
Eduardo Najera…if he’s lucky. |
Anthony Mason with less size and much less talent. Gone in two years. |
|
Rajon Rondo |
Avery Johnson..lefty PG with no shooting range |
Randy Brown? I don’t see him making it as a PG, but maybe as a defensive specialist. |
|
Marcus Williams |
Andre Miller |
Luke Ridnour with legal troubles. |
|
Josh Boone |
Theo Ratliff |
Etan Thomas. Big guy who thinks too much. |
|
Kyle Lowry |
Rod Strickland..PG who can score but can also do a great job running an offense. |
Jay Williams before he got hurt? |
|
Shannon Brown |
Derek Anderson before injuries crippled him. |
Kendall Gill. |
|
Jordan Farmar |
Damon Stoudamire |

Tyrone Hill. |
Zach Randolph without the legal record. |
|
Dee Brown |
Dee Brown Classic. |
Tim Hardaway. |
|
Paul Millsap |
Antoine Carr |
Dennis Rodman, without the crazy or the fun. Probably means he’s not as good, too. |
|
Vladimir Veremeenko |
Frank Brickowski |
Phil Kunz. |
|
Leon
Powe |
Malik Rose. |
Skinny Michael Sweetney. |
|

|
Guillermo
Diaz |
Rumeal Robinson. |
Already speaks Spanish, preparing him for his future career in Spain. Tyus Edney? |
