    You can't compare yourself to Kobe. Except, perhaps, to say you emulate his work ethic and want to achieve his skill and success.

    What are some examples of players that score a lot at the age of 18 & 19 that are also very good defenders coming out of college or highschool?

    Lebron

    KG

    Moses

    Kareem

    Wilt

    Oscar

    I'm sure there are more examples.

    i should have specified and almost did but I meant more Guards and Small Forwards, defense more on the perimeter. I'll also add in the last 20-25 years. I mean come on man Oscar R. was 18 and 19 years old in the 1950's lol

    Can't imagine any non Cleveland born prospect preferring Cleveland over Houston.

    This is why he has superstar potential. Regardless of his production or "lack of" production in the G-League compared to other players according to certain posters on here, no one else has this much athleticism in the draft.

    yeah, no offense to those living in Cleveland, but Houston might as well be Paris in comparison

    Cleveland is cold, depressing, and has nothing going on
