    JJ reddick
    Duncan Robinson

    Not as good shooting coming off screens (based on my highly scientific eye test) as those guys but I do like his size

    And how dare they not have “Shaq with Steph Curry’s range” as an option!

    Is Mathews?
    He’s thiccer so that helps with stronger guards like harden but will probably hurt against quicker guys.

    This is a good comp though Matthews has a little size on Herro at 215 lbs
    Here's what's scary: Herro is 21-years old.

    I like the Caruso comp for D. He has the same level of impact as Matthews and all the intangibles. But Matthews brings a lot more on the offensive side of the court.

    People are getting a little too carried away here. He’s just a good role player.

    Oooh I like this one. I see a lot of weird comparisons here of guys who do a lot of dribbling and creating their own shots, that doesn't seem like Garrys game to me. I'm trying to think of players with that dog in them, super competitive, incredible shooters but mostly need to be assisted. Great at shooting off screens, hitting big shots in the clutch, and can get super hot at times. Reggie Miller is a bit ambitious but it's a good one that checks all the boxes.

    Mathews is a good defender. Mathews is not lock down defender, but Rockets dont need him to be.

    I was just asking if Duncan was a good defender because you compared him to Mathews.. who I think is a good defender.

    A mix of Matt Bullard/Matt Bonner and Matt Maloney/Matt Carroll on offense with a mix of Matt Harpring/Matthew Deladova on defense. Unfortunately he's Matt Gieger/Matt Guokas below the rim.

    Miller had by far the easier access to the Playoffs, ain't close.

    If he can do what he's doing now in the playoffs when we're good again, then he's a very very valuable player. I don't need him to be any better, just stay exactly as good as he is now on a good team. Every team needs its Mikal Bridges.

    I think he is the closest thing to Ray Allen and Bobby Sura.

    Plus he ain't fainting.
