Following potential 2015 draftees

Lamar Odom was such a unique player that he's probably not an appropriate comp for guys in this draft. I get the idea though, a versatile inside/outside PF. That said, I see about as much comparison to Odom in Portis and Lyles.

Here is an example of Odom, probably near his peak as a player. I can see the comparison with the way Looney rebounds and defends, but Looney isn't as fluid an athlete. His movements just aren't as smooth and precise.

He's about as close to Lamar Odom in skill as he is to Quincy Miller in body type.

He reminds me of Odom... Post Kardashian Odom
 
He has everything Odom has... Except size and skill... other than that though they are the same dude.

Looney is more like Detlef Schrempf in his game.

Ummmm... No. I don't have a great comp for Looney but he aint Detlef. I think he might be like a better shooting Ed Davis. I don't hate Looney I just don't think he's a lotto prospect.

I actually like Lyles' fluidity on offense more than Looney's....

Fluid is a good description of his play. I wish the mixtape had showcased less dunks with more baseline jumpers and blowby's.
 
Lyles is getting better by the game. He would be a monster in cbb if he came back next year, but will declare.
