I think it's a bit early to burden the kid with that much hype. Having said that, he is looking like a possible top 2 or 3 of the decade.

I hate comparisons. Who would you compare him to but on this short little vid?

I never said I thought he was going to Duke.
Parker is absolutely amazing. It's too early to tell, but I'm betting it goes down to Duke/UNC for him. Julius Randle is another player to look at in the same class. Both are studs.

Like I said, Marion.
Coach K says Kobe.

Not for me. His handle, shot, and explosiveness are all far subpar to Kobe and he's got that awkwardness of Marion. To me.
LOL, But 6' 8" 220lb is a pretty good sized kid for a SO in HS. He could grow into that body and be a 6'9" 250 pounder with great handles. Maybe comparisons to Carmello?
Anyone have any thoughts on Will Barton? I've watched a couple of Memphis games this year and there is just something I like about him. Don't really want him on the Jazz because it appears he isn't the best distance shooter, but I like him.
Will's a very good player. He's underperformed what I thought he'd do .. not watched him enough to have an opinion as to why .. loads of talent.

I didn't get much of a feel for his shot, but from the looks of it I would say a better passing/dribbling smaller version of Durant.
