NBADraft website says Jeremy Lamb - I get the similarities (they are both tall and lanky, with a slick jumper and plays with a high center of gravity) but sadly that ceiling isn't very high. Where do you guys see Caris going? You think he's going to be able to bulk up to 210-220lbs?

I say CLV can be better version of Nic Batum. A guy that can defend 1-3 and 4s on occasion (especially when he adds some weight). He'll give you at least 17-5-5 with good %s very soon. His peak potential is higher than that and I could easily see him being a 22-5-5 guy, think Paul George lite

Great kid. He could have a monster season in 2-3 years.

I said since the day we selected him. He's got a good chance to be Khris Middleton 2.0.

LeVert's timing and shot selection is nearly identical to Middleton.

Is Middleton a good playmaker though? I see some Paul George-lite in LeVert's game.

15 Pts, 2 Rebs, +9 in 25 minutes. Marcus Morris held to 5/14 shooting.

Has a bit of Brandon Roy in him with the 2 foot jump stops and super playmaking

Tbf, Tobias Harris did some damage on Levert. I hope he can gain some muscle without losing speed.

Felt like they froze him out a little in the 4th, but a lot of guys are playing for their careers on this roster right now, so it's to be expected.

TBH, Idk if he cares because he knows he'll be better than all of them and his time to shine will come. :lol:

And this is just year 1, and without his adult weight.

Reminds me of McGrady's style so much as well minus the elite athleticism. I can see why someone would say Roy. The guy is very smart off of the dribble, Roy was one of the more craftier scorers I'd ever seen. He used to **** on dudes badly once he got his man backpedaling.

Next step: consistency. every 4 out of 5 games, we need him to do this. Stretch the floor, attack off of the dribble, become a legit NBA scorer.

Lol yeah, he knows this is his team in the near future.

Yeah, I can see Roy for sure, mentioned that one awhile back. Also still see a lot of skinny young Paul Pierce to him. Like first few years in the NBA Pierce.

I get Caris Levert vibes. A ton of that. :lol:

He's definitely an amalgamation of a number of players we all know. I'm just content watching him grow and just hope that injuries or money don't derail his potential.

I love his composure and demeanor. He makes it seem like nothing really fazes him.

LeVert is like what I thought MarShon Brooks could become.

Imagine this season without LeVert... I was always about big names and stars but he made watching Net games in this bleak season enjoyable.

Levert reminds me of a very poor man's Ray Allen in terms of his style of shooting/scoring. His shot and his athleticism are both a lot better than I expected. Really good return on Marks' first draft pick.

there used to be a T-Mac... now there is a C-Vert... he resembles T-Mac the most, the style and smoothness in everything, he does not have T-Mac's athleticism though
