The next generation

[scm5]

The next generation of players in this league is looking incredible. I'm gonna post their closest comparison (imo) at their respective ages:

Anthony Davis (23): 31/11/2 on 49% and 3bpg 29.7 PER
Tim Duncan: 23/12/3 on 49% and 2 bpg 24.8 PER

Porzingis (21): 20/7 on 49/40/79 22.0 PER
Dirk: 18/7 on 46/38/83 17.5 PER

KAT (21): 22/9/3 on 50% 23.0 PER
KG: 19/10/4 on 49% 20.4 PER

Wiggins (21): 27/5/3 on 50/55/75 23.0 PER
Kobe Bryant 22/6/5 on 47/32/82 21.7 PER

Giannis (22): 21/9/5 on 50% 1.7 spg 2.2 bpg 24.7 PER
KG: 21/10/4 on 46% 1.7 spg 1.8 bpg 22.4 PER

Randle (21): 14/9/4 on 55% 19.6 PER
Charles Barkley: 14/9/2 on 55% 18.3 PER

D'angelo Russell (20): 17/3/5 on 42/39/76 17.7 PER
Stephen Curry: 18/5/6 on 46/44/89 16.3 PER (Curry was 21, so a full year older)

KAT is way too big to be KG

Russell is more like Ginobili, like he said himself

[Kawhi]

Those are terrible comparisons if you consider the situations the players were in. All these current kids were drafted by or are playing for tanking teams. The older players you listed had to share their touches with Robinson, Shaq, Moses Malone, Erving, Cheeks, Toney and what not. Stats don't even tell half the stories. Some players were all-stars or even champions at that age.

[pedromarinho]

Ok, cool.

None of those youngsters is going to be better than the old ones.

Only KAT as a slight chance. Slight.

Wolves aren't tanking
Lakers aren't tanking
Knicks aren't tanking
Pelicans are losing; but not tanking

What are you even talking about here?

Learn to read.

you're completely talking out of your ass here

dont make it harder on yourself by stucking in denial too long

[CuhGetsBucks]

Learn to read.
Learn how to be wrong less, all of these players are sharing touches with someone except AD. You're wrong, stay upset.

Telling people they should learn how to read when he used a word wrong lmfaoo

Your reading comprehension is terrible. It literally says were drafted by or. While I'm at it, you want to compare playing with Jabari Parker to Shaq or David Robinson?

[Kawhi]

Great argument there. I suggest you boot from this thread before there's a Turk standing on your doorstep.

[Brook(lyn)Lopez]

Small sample size...

What does a team's tanking in the past have to do with the numbers are player is putting up in the current season?

Touches are touches, Jabari is still a Bucks primary scoring option regardless of if he's less than David Robinson or not. Idk what your point is, are you trying to insinuate that regardless of a players efficiency we shouldn't be proud of their numbers because they are go to options?

Is this really a question? Most of the players listed are 2nd or 3rd year players, who were drafted by a tanking and therefore terrible team. They have much more of a green light and more touches than the players in the past. How on earth is comparing Randle's stats to Barkley's stats a fair comparison?

Hint: it isn't. One is playing with a sophomore point guard and the other was playing with 2 hall of famers and an all-star. What a joke.

Stop it, you're trying hard to push narrative these players are just inefficient chuckers. How can you punish a player for having more of a green light? If that's the case anytime we compare career numbers we have to factor in who had more of a greenlight what season.

Hint: Stop that condescending tone bruh, you're not even make good points. Touches are touches, Randle is playing with hella ball dominant players. I can tell you don't even watch the Lakers play making a statement like that.

There is a whole lot of length there...... And then the next draft we get some more highly rated PGs.
