Please. Get real dude. ... ... ... Michael Jordan is a mentally r****ded, homeless man's version of Nick Johnson. Nick Johnson GOAT.
Just because he may share some strengths in similiar skills as Chris Paul, it doesn't mean Paul is an accurate comparison. He is a stronger passer than I thought, but he isn't at the level of Paul. His handles are going to hold Johnson back as a point guard. He isn't like Chris Paul.
I think the closest comparison to Nick Johnson is actually a more athletic, slower, less turnover prone Jeremy Lin. He seriously looks like the black Jeremy Lin out there, difference is he incorporates a Courtney Lee-esque midrange game filled with leaners, one dribble pullups, etc. And I'd have to say he's a much more confident ballhandler and overall more confident as a player.... and he's a better shooter. His offensive game is a lot more diverse, varied, and generally more efficient than Lin's. His defense is already a huge step up; albeit his lateral quickness is a bit concerning and I'm afraid the quicker guards in the league (like Elfrid Payton did in the SL) are going to give him a lot of trouble. Good thing we have Dwight and now Dorsey in the post to help with that. I wish his first step was a little quicker and more explosive, but it is what it is. I don't know how high this guy's ceiling is but his versatility is ridiculous. Legitimate triple double machine like what Jeremy Lin was supposed to be but never panned out.
Got mad & started punching the keyboard maybe? "What do you mean he doesn't have CP's handles!!? AHHH!!!" *Punch*Punch*Punch* -> Submit Reply
Okay I don't know if I'm being trolled or someone doesn't know how to use the rep button but this is the 4th time someone has repped me and wrote a comment insulting my comment they repped Buddy, I hope you are just messing around or being sarcastic but that green +/- button is only used to positively rep a poster. Thanks for the rep anyways.
I see him as Courtney Lee as well. Which would be a good fit next to Harden; although we still need someone to take over for him for 15 minutes per game.
