Rookies comparisons

[BBert]

Let me know when Layman learns to pass like this:

Brent "Pistol Pete" Barry

Layman does remind me of Brent Barry, but so far lacks Brent's confidence and aggression. And that's holding him back.

 

[illmatic99]

Yeah, the Starters said that one. He's taller and heftier than Barry and doesn't have the PG skills. I say poor man's young Mike Miller.

Well, they're both white.

That's about it.

 

[Gronk Brady]

Jake Layman = taller Chase Budinger

Swanigan comparison (since we're doing other non-rookies):
Jared Sullinger

Swanigan also reminds me of Michael Jordan.... He jumps like 85 year old MJ will.

That isn't actually that far off. At the end of Jordan's career, when he gained weight, played SF and couldn't jump the same, they did move about the same.

I was gonna say Wizards MJ but he moved better than Caleb.

Gary Trent....could be another Nate McMillan or Joe Dumars

Meh.

In the end, I didn’t like Nate as coach or Dumars as GM.

Which Mike Miller? First-half of career or second? Halfway through his career, Miller became a poor man’s Mike Miller...

I loved the Portland-Seattle rivalry. I still remember the 3OT game we had up in Seattle (and won).

And F- Dumars and the Pistons for winning the 1990 Finals (Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson was a killer off the bench).

 

[Orion Bailey]

Caleb should have played football. I bet hed make a kick ass middle linebacker or center.

With those arms and that standing reach, nose tackle. With the way he has been catching the ball in the post, anything but tight end.

 

[riverman]

anything but tight end.

I always thought that was the weirdest name for a position in sports

Dick Butkus agrees with you.
