What’s his ceiling?
1. Larry Bird
2. John Havlicek
3. Rick Barry
4. Andrei Kirilenko
5. Tom Gugliotta
6. Brent Barry
7. Toni Kukoc
8. Chris Mullin
9. Dirk Nowitzki
10. Luka Dončić
My guess is Brent Barry with more size. Good athlete, good hops, good range, slight frame etc.

Real thought here--just listing random white guys who played SF/PF.
Reminds me when I used to play pick-up basketball and I was only ever called Larry Bird when I played well.

Hey, I never even merited so much as a John Crotty reference, so be glad you were noticed!

Yep, it’s a natural comparison, just like when people compare Grant Hill, Kobe and Vince to Jordan, Jokic and Luka to Bird and Zion to Barkley or Shaq.

Yep, 6’6” white guys dunking from the FT line will draw comparisons to Brent Barry and not Jordan. It is what it is.

Yeah but you have to subtract those extra two inches to offset the fact that he's white.

To me, he's like a perfect mix of Yi Jianlin, Zhou Qi, and Yao Ming
That's his ceiling anyways

OP warned for low quality thread starting (not the first) and various borderline baiting posts.
