Comparisons - fair/unfair?

[Rastapopoulos]

Here are some comparisons of players in the draft - you tell me if you think they're off base, and if so, how?
(Please only comment if you've actually seen the player play.)
Stephen Curry: Mike Bibby
James Harden: Mitch Richmond
Jordan Hill: Chris Wilcox
Jrue Holiday: Antonio Daniels
Terrance Williams: Deshawn Stevenson
Eric Maynor: Acie Law
Darren Collison: Gary Grant
Ty Lawson: A taller Nate Robinson

I can't comment if they are true or not because I have not seen any of them play, but IF they are true...I would take Curry or Lawson.

 

[LJ Ginger]

Stephen Curry comparison is hard because no one really has his game...Harden a poor man's roy. Ty Lawson is a much better passer than Nate Rob!

Stephen Curry: Mike Bibby

- Not IMHO, Curry seems like a smarter and better shooter player. I kind of like to think of him as "what would B-Roy do if he was smaller, a better shooter and not as physical"...

Ty Lawson: A taller Nate Robinson

- maybe it's the way they are built - but I see him and I think Jameer Nelson, only faster.

 

[MAS RipCity]

James Harden is not like Mitch Richmond imo. He isn't the sharp shooter Mitch was or overall scoring machine.
Harden, to me, is a lesser Roy/Pierce mix. Will be the best player out of the draft.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Williams will be better than Stevenson...he is smarter and a superior playmaker.

Collison doesn't remind me of Grant at all. Collison played for a half-court oriented team, while Grant was highly dependent on his speed to be effective.

Stephen Curry: Mike Bibby

Sort of. Curry, I expect to be better defensively and a more well-rounded game.

James Harden: Mitch Richmond

Wow. No, not at all.

Jrue Holiday: Antonio Daniels

I don't see how anyone can forecast what Holiday will be like.

Darren Collison: Gary Grant

Yeah. I could go with that.

Ty Lawson: A taller Nate Robinson

No. Not as athletic as Robinson.

 

[Minstrel]

Harden struck me as more of a swooping scorer rather than a catch-and-shoot scorer like Richmond.

Despite lack of elite athleticism, he has a deceptively effective ability to get to the hoop, like Roy. But Roy has great athleticism, which gives him a ceiling that Harden likely does not have

 

[Nikolokolus]

I can live with most of your comparisons, especially Bibby-Curry

But Lawson doesn't remind me of Robinson at all ... Nate averaged something like 3 assists and 2 turnovers a game in his three years at washington. I can't think of who Lawson reminds me of -- maybe the game of Ray Felton with 3 point range and the body of Kyle Lowry.

Stephen Curry: Mike Bibby

This is the best comparison IMO. But I think Curry will be lucky to have a career like Bibby's. I just don't feel like Curry is much more than a shooter, but we will see.

Jordan Hill: Chris Wilcox

Pretty fair, but Hill can be a better rebounder and defender.

Jrue Holiday: Antonio Daniels

This also seems accurate, although I haven't seen Holiday much and he is all potential as of now.

Terrance Williams: Deshawn Stevenson

I do not see this at all. Williams is a much, much better playmaker and is way more versatile.

Eric Maynor: Acie Law

Ooh, this is a good one, but I expect Maynor to be a better scorer.

Ty Lawson: A taller Nate Robinson

I don't see this very much, Robinson is a scorer, thats it. Lawson is a real point guard and doesn't have the athleticism of Robinson.
