Apparently some of you are, um, verbally challenged enough to think that "compare" is a synonym for "equal".

I am not, but I look forward to your next personal evaluation of the team and what it needs to do or what you are looking forward to seeing. CAN'T WAIT!

Just because I have the same height as Kobe Bryant doesn't mean I will be a pro. So for people saying Irving will go pro, the odds aren't in his favor.

As some people have already said before and coaches as well David has all the physical tools to become an all B12 end. It is the mental/experience part that needs to catch up.

I remember that one of the coaches remarked that David lacked some explosiveness and proper pad level coming off the line. I know that was one aspect that hindered Jake McD 's development. It seems that the Coaches were able to correct those issues in Jake.

Korie Luscious equal to or greater than Chris Paul? Deron Williams?

I'm puzzled, the only comparison between these two is that they play the same position.

jesus you douchenozzles, this guy is saying they are 2 physically comparable players (both 6'7" 260+) and asking if our guy who is SIGNIFICANTLY less polished and experienced could benefit from watching a peer who has similar physical size and tools. in my opinion he could because he is physically similar to clowney some of the same moves and techniques could work for him

I'm not sure it is as simple as watching somebody else's technique. I could watch hours of porn, but it probably wouldn't make me any better at, well, ya know.....

To a certain degree, either you've got or you don't.

Clowney uses his hips and hands better. Maybe you're having the same issue. There must be an educational video out there.

Clowney will be the #1 pick next year.

Irving will be getting a real job in 3 years.

That would be like Bubu watching tape of Dwayne Wade to see if he can improve his game.
