Rookie comps

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Thought it would be fun to see everyone’s comps for the rookies.

Cody Williams - Jaden McDaniels (obviously)

Isaiah Collier Tim Hardaway

Kyle Filipowski - Brad Miller

Ok, what’s yours?

Not Necessarily Floor/Ceiling. More of a "shades of" kind of thing:

Cody Williams - TJ Warren, Brandon Ingram, Kevin Knox
Isaiah Collier - THT, Tyreke Evans, Dennis Smith Jr
Kyle Filipowski - Zach Collins, Horford, Harry Giles

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

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

Here is the Ringer's player comps:

Williams: Jalen Rose
Collier: Dion Waiters
Filipowski: Zach Collins

Bleacher Report:

Williams: Jaden McDaniels
Collier: Tyrese Evans
Filipowski: MO Wagner

There is a site that compares prospects based on their combine measurements to previous NBA players solely based on physical measurements. I've seen other places report these comps based on a percentage of how close the measurements were. Does anybody know where to find it?

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 use this site. You can compare per40 stats, advanced stats, and measurements.

Collier: Baron Davis/Stephon Marbury
Filipowski: Kelly Olynyk/Al Horford
Cody Williams: We don't know yet--could be post-injury Josh Howard or a bigger version of Latrell Sprewell, depending on how he develops

I believe that's the one, thanks!

Interesting, there are no good players with close physical comps to Williams. I expected there to be a lot. For Collier, he is really close to Deron Williams, so that's exciting. Filipowski was close to Olynyk and Luka Samanic.

I like Ingram for Williams and Horford for flip.
Jalen brunson for Collier.

I like comps so thanks for the thread

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

Flip - Lauri or a Zeller/Plumlee

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
