He's more or less the same size, obviously Lebron is a bit bigger.
Most people draw on that comparison because he's the closest physically to Lebron in a long time, and the fact that he's this size as a 19 year old wing player is pretty much unique to him and Lebron.
How exactly is he "more or less the same size" when Bron is 2 inches taller, an inch longer and has 4 inches of reach on him not to mention that Lebron is a freak athlete. Physically the pair are nothing alike unless ofcourse you believe that just because 2 players are in the 240s they are alike.
There is no argument to be made that SJ "is the closest physically to Lebron in a long time". Lets take a look at another SF who is actually much closer to Lebron than SJ is.
D. Williams- 6'7.25 barefoot, 6'8.75 in shoes, 248lbs, 7'1 wingspan, 9'0 standing reach
Jabari Parker did not take part in combine measurements last year, but he is another wing who is 6-8, 6-9 240lbs with length- much closer to Bron's size than SJ. Same goes with Anthony Bennett.
Physical attributes+atheleticism+bball skill @ 19 years old.
Whats the closest comparison? .............................................None of your examples are even close to matching Lebron's skillset let alone SJ's.
