    KD reminds me of T-Mac except KD has that fire underneath him he's a silky shooter (much better than tracy) and can drive and dish his only downside is his weak frame

    He's 6'9 without shoes, 6'10+ with shoes (which, I think, is how most players are measured). His standing reach is 9'2 (4 more inches than LeBron, 2 more than David West). Wingspan is 7'5 (same as Yao).

    Because of his long arms, KD plays even taller than he is. At SF or SG, it's tough on defenders.

    He's not going to gain weight very fast. I imagine he'll gain 10-15 pounds gradually into his peak years. I use KG as a comparison. KG was every bit as skinny as KD when he was a rookie.

    Still can't believe KD's numbers. Absolutely sick.

    I don't watch college basketball but one time I turned it on to a UT game when KD was playing there and had no idea who he was. I swear that kid was moving 10x faster than anyone else. He's so smooth and effortless. He made everything look soooo easy and now he's doing the same thing in the NBA. I hope his career lasts a long time.

    you can argue that lebron is similar to magic. not entirely but you see glimpses of similarities now and again...

    Yeah, he's pretty up there for me, too. What I like most about him is his personality, really -- he's not all show like LeBron, nor does he try to act all badass like Kobe does (see: Kobe mouthing "can't stop me" during playoffs). He's meek, keeps to himself, but does his job extraordinarily well.
