Dayes size isnt the worst part, its that he PLAYS soft also. If he were just skinny, but he played like a tough guy, you could deal with it.
You shouldve seen him in the UNC/Gonzaga game in the NCAA tournament....dude is a cream puff, totally backs down when challenged

James Harden - Manu Ginobili
Hasheem Thabeet - Samuel Dalembert
Tyreke Evans - Larry Hughes
Stephen Curry - Mo Williams
Jonny Flynn - T.J. Ford
Jordan Hill - Drew Gooden
Earl Clark - Lamar Odom (weaker handles)
Jrue Holiday - Kirk Hinrich (weaker jump shot)
Blake Griffin - Antonio McDyess (pre-injuries)

Well in draft related news the Lakers offered Jordan Farmar to the Rockets or for them purchase the 29th pick, but the Rockets turned them down.

Harden doesn't have half the jumpshooting ability Johnson has
Harden doesn't have half the athleticism/penetrating/finishing at the rim ability Manu has

Rubio = Luke Ridnour.
Only say that because I heard it yesterday. Thought it was funny. I hope it isn't true though (If Minny gets him)

So Jennings goes to Italy and is deemed a failure. Jrue Holliday goes to UCLA and $%+%# the bed and is a lottery pick. Seems about right.
I'm pulling for Jennings.

You're right, James doesn't have the athleticism of Manu, but he has the same craftiness to his game. Plus he has the strength to help himfinish around the rim. There were other comparisons I had for James (Brandon Roy and Paul Pierce) but he doesn't have Roy's explosiveness orPierce's size/mid-range shooting. Thought Manu was the perfect balance between the two.

Harden had a 37 inch vertical, one of the fastest sprints in the combine and put up the bench 17 times, he is every bit the athlete that manu is his style ofplay just makes it less obvious.

Harden is a combo of all the players mentioned above. Think that's the best way of putting it. Comparing Harden to Manu is not fair to Manu..and I really like Harden
And I don't give a damn about measurables. It's all about what you do on the court..

if i were the knicks, i would try and buy a mid round 1st round pick and take jennings. from what im reading, he can be really good, or an huge bust.
hes one of those low risks, high reward type of players. i like.

ESPN is reporting because of his falling stock, Jennings might opt out of the green room

Crawford's handles are off the charts, not so sure about Evans
They're both losers though

You need to get familiar bro.
'Reke's handles to be 6-6 are ridiculous.

I still think he made the right decision (Skill wise)
