    So what player comparisons are you comfortable with making so far for this draft class? To me there are a lot of prospects who I would have liked to see in the NCAA Tournament, workouts, pre-draft combine before making a definite NBA comparison for the player, but here are a few I am comfortable making:
    Obi Toppin- Amare Stoudemire
    Anthony Edwards- Victor Oladipo
    Onyeka Okongwu- Bam Adebayo
    Lamelo Ball- Jason Williams (playing style obviously not size)
    Cole Anthony- Austin Rivers
    RJ Hampton- Dante Exum

    I actually think toppin reminds me more of Kenyon Martin. I definitely don’t think he’s as strong and powerful an athletic force as Stoudemire was. Build is similar to Martin. Shoots it better but probably not as light on his feet or versatile on defense as Martin was.
    I really tried to come up with something more outside the box but the best comparison I could honestly come up with for LaMelo is Lonzo. Haliburton actually has a lot of similarities to ball as well.

    Anthony Edwards- Terry Rozier, maybe a little bigger but I don’t buy the 6’5 talk.
    Obi Toppin- Aaron Gordon
    LaMelo Ball- Shaun Livingston
    Isaac Okoro- Josh Okogie
    Onyeka Okongwu- Brandon Clarke physically and stylistically but on a different growth curve
    Killian Hayes- Dejounte Murray
    Tyrese Haliburton- Delon Wright
    Saddiq Bey- Otto Porter
    Robert Woodard- Miles Bridges
    Aaron Nesmith- Luke Kennard
    Jordan Nwora- Cedi Osman
    Kira Lewis- right-handed Brandon Jennings

    Killian Hayes reminds me quite a bit of DeAngelo Russell.
