Trying my best at finding the best comparison for guys in this years draft... here's what I have so far:
Joel Embiid (Anthony Davis)... Scott Pollard is on record as saying Embiid could be better than Davis. That's enough to get me excited! Size wise Embiid might be a little bigger than Davis. Production wise you're looking at 19pts/14reb/1.5stl/4.5blk for Embiid per 40 and 17.7pts/13reb/1.8stl/5.8blks for Davis. Pretty even there but Davis does have one significant edge statistically speaking... 2.4pf/40 compared to 5.8pf/40 for Embiid. Davis got 1.3 more blks per 40 with only half the fouls as Embiid.
Andrew Wiggins (Rudy Gay)... athletic small forwards that can score in a variety of ways. Scoring is basically what you're gonna get from Wiggins and probably not at an ultra efficient clip. He should be a solid player but not a sure fire superstar imo.
Jabrari Parker (???)... having problems coming up with a good comp here. Parker looks to be a tweener, makes me nervous. Not in love with him either but who knows?
Noah Vonlef (Derrick Favors)... better shooter than Favors with similar production elsewhere. Similar size and vert as well.
Julius Randle (Zack Randolph) Scoring and rebounding without much else.
Dante Exum (Michael Carter-Williams) Draft Expresses physical comp, not sure how similar their games are.
Doug McDermott (Adam Morrison) McDermott is definitely the better prospect of the two but comp wise no one is a closer comparison than Morrison. Same size, similar production, McDermott is the more efficient shooter though.
Joel Embiid (Anthony Davis)... Scott Pollard is on record as saying Embiid could be better than Davis. That's enough to get me excited! Size wise Embiid might be a little bigger than Davis. Production wise you're looking at 19pts/14reb/1.5stl/4.5blk for Embiid per 40 and 17.7pts/13reb/1.8stl/5.8blks for Davis.
