Rookie comps

[fishonjazz]

Jalen McDaniels is a really common one for Cody Williams.....have to say I don't see it. They are tall, skinny guys with dreads. But I don't see similarity in their profiles as prospects or how I see their games developing in the NBA.

I agree. I think Hendrix is more Jaden McDaniels than Cody

Not going to lie, I think some of these comps seem highly optimistic and/or focused entirely on size.

Collier seems like he could end up being on the scale between an Emmanuel Mudiay or Tyreke Evans, but with a bit more of an eye for passing than either player.

Filipowski doesn't seem mean or clever enough yet to be an Olynyk style player. I'm seeing Zach Collins most so far, but I think his handle is intriguing enough that he might turn into something a bit more than that.

Cody Williams is the toughest comp for me right now. I can see the shades of Brandon Ingram, but so far Cody's much more passive (even compared to Ingram in college). I've thought of Tayshaun Prince, but Cody seems much more dynamic with the ball in his hands. Maybe something between those two?

Josh Howard feels like a good comp for Cody Williams.

Williams - Tracy McGrady or Tony Snell
Collier - prime Derrick Rose or that guy the Nuggets drafted last year.
Flip - Lauri or a Zeller/Plumlee

Not even close to the stratosphere of TMac I made the Tony Snell comparison to Tony Jones. He shot me down on that.

No, just no. Jaden is way more nimble and quicker like a natural wing. That’s not Hendricks

Josh Howard feels like a good comp for Cody Williams.

Completely different body types Howard is/was way more explosive. Williams is a way better shooter

Trading Simone for a Zeller or a Plumlee.

I believe there are rules about that.

I didn't say that hendricks is like Jaden McDaniels. I said Hendricks is closer to him than Williams. Is Williams closer in size? Sure. But I'm talking skillset

Also, the TMac thing was a joke.

HH also doesn't actually think Collier will be the NBA league MVP like prime Derrick Rose (I surprised you called out the TMac comp and not the D Rose one lol).

He doesn't think flip will be Lauri either

Isiah Collier - Tim Hardaway

Cody Williams - Paul George

Kyle Filipowski - Andre Bargnani


…. And yes, I like to aim high.

Flip does. Lol

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

Let’s go Old School:
Cody Williams - George Gervin (smooth operator with awareness, ability to penetrate and a floater)
Isaiah Collier - Mitch Richmond (Cody brings the finesse, Isaiah brings the hammer)
Kyle Filipowski - Detlef Shrempf (Olynyk is close but lacks the aggression/athleticism)

Cody Williams - Kerry Kittles
Collier- Bigger Raymond Felton
Flip- Olynyk

Williams looks like a bigger, slightly less athletic Alec Burks to me
Collier is very similar to Baron Davis
Flip is definitely Olynik with a bit more offensive interior game and weaker defense.
