[Basketball Prospectus] Comparisons

Interesting look on how the prospects compare with NBA counterparts

1 John Wall Derrick Rose (97.5) We start off with an excellent comparison. I went more in-depth to explore how Wall's numbers from his lone season at Kentucky compared to his John Calipari predecessors Rose and Tyreke Evans earlier this season.
2 Evan Turner Brandon Roy (91.7) Another natural comparison. Roy was one of the players I compared Turner to in an Every Play Counts breakdown prior to the NCAA Tournament.
3 Wesley Johnson J.R. Giddens (97.2) A considerably less favorable comp. Johnson's age (he'll be 23 by the time summer-league play tips off) is a red flag.
4 Derrick Favors Chris Bosh (97.3) A lot of these at the top worked out very nicely in terms of natural comparisons. Favors is, like Bosh, an immensely talented one-and-done power forward from Georgia Tech who may be more ready for the NBA than conventionally believed.
5 DeMarcus Cousins Michael Beasley (95.1) The enormous talent with question marks ... yeah, that fits.
