Compare the young and upcoming to the already known players. This is what I think those young players will develop roughly into. Iguodala = VC, or J-Richardson Bosh = KG Dwight Howard = Shaq Chris Paul = Jason Kidd Emeka Okafor = Tim Duncan Ben Gordon = Reggie Miller This is all I can think of for now. Too tired. EDIT: I thought up more but can't think of good NBA Comparisons: Josh Smith, LeBron, Carmelo, JR Smith, etc.
Iguodala = J-Richardson Bosh = KG Dwight Howard = Duncan Chris Paul = Jason Kidd Emeka Okafor = Theo Ratliff
Chris Paul=Jason Kidd? He's way smaller, and will never be the rebounder or elite defender Kidd was. That's not to say he won't be as good as Kidd, but I believe he'll be more like John Stockton.
Neither has T-mac, Wade, Kobe or Carter for that matter. BTW LeBron = Nique but in a more all-around way.

Maybe above it?

Dwight Howard doesn't play like Shaq at all imo. Ben Gordon doesn't play like Reggie, Adam Morrison is more likely the next reggie over Ben Gordon. Emeka's game is nothing like Tim's game. Igoudala is more like the next Marion than the next Vince Carter too. here's my list: Dwight Howard: David Robinson Chris Paul: Isiah Thomas Tyrus Thomas: Amare Stoudemire Chris Bosh: Tim Duncan Adam Morrison: Larry Bird (not just cause he's white) Darko: Dirk Jameer Nelson: Jason Kidd

I think that Howard is the next great center. And will dominate all in about 2 years.

Dwight doesn't have a jumpshot like him nor the post moves.

Maybe above it?</div> Ok..so people only care about stats hun?? MJ was defensive player of the year.. Lebron will never get that Led his team to finals which im sure lebron wont do Had a lotta MVP awards.. lebron wont get that many Has 6 rings. Lebron wont get that So what im trying to say is that stats do matter, but not that much. MJ has too many awards that im sure Lebron will never get in his career. Thats all
^^nice, <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Umair15:</div><div class="quote_post">just this season though..but imo i think tmac </div> the thread is future nba comparisons, like what are the young guns in the league gonna be like. Kobe is older, and IS better. i dont want to start a debate but whatever. that slike saying KG is gonna be like elton brand
