Dennis Smith... NBA Comparison: Chris Paul

I'm gonna keep saying his name until he ends up on our roster.

I haven't decided who my favorite is. I like basically all the pg's and combo guards at the top for different reasons.

Some recent stuff early in college season-

Smith(pg)-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGsIXO2pub8
Fultz(pg)-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hjkkrwoias&t=5s
Ball(pg)-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-5OMRiG9vc
Monk(combo)-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erErZ7a2VPY
Fox(pg)-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zALElNSt5fs

Draft is so loaded... All of those guys could be in top 10, really no reason we wouldn't get one of them. There is also a Senior pg who could be available top of the 2nd round if we didn't go pg in the first.

Fultz has looked really good in first 2 games. I think he's ahead for me personally. But Smith and Ball are not far behind, I like both of them as well. The one thing I worry about with Smith is injuries. He alrdy had a torn ACL in high school from driving to the rim. He's looks like he's totally healed but I really don't want to miss on a top 5 pick(if we had it.) So I'll just say I'm cautious about it, especially if he draws Rose comparisons.

Not a huge fan of Ball... his shot is just plain ugly meaning he won't be able to penetrate the way he does in college at the NBA level.

Some way too early player comparisons:

Lonzo Ball - Michael Carter Williams
Dennis Smith - Derrick Rose
Markelle Fultz - D'Angelo Russell
Josh Jackson - Andrew Wiggins
Harry Giles - Myles Turner
De'Aaron Fox - Avery Bradley
Malik Monk - Monta Ellis

Knowing how teams, and the Mavs, think, I suspect a Dirk look alike is going to get preference. Reminds me of several centers in the league who rose in perception just because they were from Nigeria....that didn't mean they were anything like Olajuwon. Some players there are only one of...trying to replace Dirk with another Dirk just isn't going to happen. There is only one Dirk. If Fultz brings a skillset, on his own, that makes him the best choice...great! But that he looks like Dirk shouldn't even enter into the discussion.

Glad to hear it, I think Fultz and Barnes would go together really well.

Hmmm....in what way though because Chris Paul plays low to the ground and doesn't ever really leave his feet. DS vertical is crazy......Sort of Steve Francis and Baron Davis like......
