Following potential 2015 draftees

So having an opinion on this board now gets this kind of insult/abuse?



I used to respect you.

PS, I still respect you. A few posts don't change that.

I'm not abusing you at all. In fact, I'm trying to help you. 6'6" is a good to great height for a SG. The JJ comparison is bad because he is undersized for a SG and now is a defensive liability for the Clippers.

I thought all these things were obvious.

The comparison is more than just 6'6 height (which is not official yet neither). Booker is more or less a spot up shooter now and that is who JJ Redick is.


If Booker can show me more of a dribble drive/slashing/off the dribble game than I'd lean towards Klay, but as of now he hasn't yet.

JJ isn't a defensive liability.

Booker is outpacing Klay Thompson when comparing their Freshman year's, by far.

Comparing all 3's Freshman year in college, JJ was the most complete player of the 3 and Thompson was easily the least complete of the 3.

Klay Thompson got to the FT line an amazing .9 attempts per game. That is the definition of just being a spot up shooter. *That is with 33 minutes per game btw*

Booker manages to get to the line 1.8 attempts per game despite only 21 minutes per game.

Booker is also the biggest of the 3, when comparing weight, during their Freshman year. His UK day measurements also show signs of him being the most athletic of the 3. UK day measurements show so no sign of bias since a lot fo the players had worse measurements in that combine compared to other ones they had done in the past.

JJ had a pre-draft DUI arrest.

Klay had pre-draft marijuana arrest.

Devin Booker has not been arrested.

Klay Thompson is pretty white.

Devin Booker is really white.

JJ Redick is white.

Fixed. Compared pictures of Thompson and Booker.

Yeah but you can't teach size which Klay has over Booker.

Yeah but you can't teach size which Klay has over Booker.

The size between Redick and Thompson is significant and could explain the difference in their careers. The difference between Thompson and Booker isn't as insignificant.

You said physically they're similar. You had nothing to say about their style of play...don't go changing your argument.
