The title says it all.

For Thomas Robinson, I'd say Blake Griffin. He isn't quite as athletic but he has an unpolished back-to-the-basket type of game and uses his rare combination of speed and power to score.

Dion Waiters

I compare him to D-Wade. He is an aggressive pit bull slasher with the same frame and style as D-Wade.

His floor is Rodney Stuckey

Jeremy Lamb- Kevin Martin with better defense. Also Lamb can create his own shot something Kevin Martin cannot do.

Royce White- Reminds me so much of Boris Diaw. Both versatile and great passers for their size.

Terrence Jones- Ever since I seen him play at Kentucky he reminds me of Lamar Odom.

ya Blake griffin was the closest comparison I had, can't complain there, just hope he develops an offensive game.

His jumpshot is WAY better than Blake's was when he came out.

For Bradley Beal Eric Gordon is the closest thing probably but everyone is making that comparison so I wanted to put a little more thought into it and I came up with maybe Joe Johnson or Manu Ginobilli. Gordon is probably what I would go with. Not really sure about the Ray Allen ones. Maybe a young Ray Allen

true, he seems to be a harder worker than Blake also, decent chance he turns into a better overall offensive player

Andre Drummong:

Floor: Probably a bigger DeAndre Jordan

Ceiling: Dwight Howard-esque maybe, maybe Andrew Bynum-esque


Don't know enough about the 2nd rounders to give a fully accurate comparison, so I won't.

I wouldn't be surprised. I was watching a video of him and he was draining 3's.
