Bullets Forever: An SB Nation Community

Quick update

Seeing as it is Father's Day, I won't be around the computer much until tonight.  We have a lot to talk about then, because I made my two selections in the SB Nation Mock Draft, the second due to a trade of one of our own players.  

In the meantime, here's a discussion topic to consider if you're at your computer.

We all love comparing things.  It's part of human nature to find commonalities in anything, and this is particularly true in basketball, where it always seems like we're looking for the next Jordan, the next Bill Russell, and so on.  It's a mostly frugal exercise, but there's no denying that it's a lot of fun.

So, in light of that, I ask you guys this.  Which NBA players (current or former) do some of the prospects in this year's draft remind you of?  Feel free to explain your reasoning.

I'll start with a couple.

Jeff Green=Billy Owens

Spencer Hawes=Chris Mihm

Josh McRoberts=Cherokee Parks

Derrick Byars=Brandon Roy

Thaddeus Young=Darius Miles

Continue the discussion in the comments, and I'll be back later.

Ouch
If I were Jeff Green (I wish), the Billy Owens comparison would not be a compliment.

Here are my comparisons:

Corey Brewer = Scottie Pippen

Aaron Gray = Eric Montross or every other plodding center with minimal skills and little athleticism who held an NBA spot for years simply because of his size.

Can I also add that I would be stoked if either Sean Williams or Stephane Lasme fell to the Wizards in the second round. Having an athletic shot-blocker would be awesome for the Wiz.

Yeah
Lasme would be nice at 47.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
