Kuminga could be another Kawhi

[3ba11]

if he learns to set up the blow by off-the-dribble (which he likely will)

he currently does the Deron Williams side-to-side cadence circa 2006, but he should be doing that same footwork going AT the defender to sneak by them (Nash or Ingram have mastered setting up the blow-by)

so he needs to learn to walk down the defender (dribble AT the defender) and set up the blow-by (sneak by the defender), Nash-style.

give him a few years to develop like kawhi did and he could end up NICER than Kawhi

I think only americans can develop that godly Jordan\Kobe\Kawhi style of play.

Congo does have the tools to be a good to great wing, so we'll see. His prime may hit as soon as Curry retires, similar to Kawhi and Duncan. I bet Congo will demand a trade like Kawhi did if he eventually gets stuck with old washed up or retired bums like Kawhi around 2016\17.

Hakeem developed the Jordan/Kobe/Kawhi dream-shake and actually did it better than they did.. Embiid developed it too.. Giannis and Luka are doing alright don't you think?

So I'd have a little more respect for Congo.. If he learns to set up the blow-by... IT'S OVER... He actually does okay at it here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MV8O4xE9aU&t=02m20s), but it's a fluke - he doesn't know to set that up everytime, and then everything else (other moves) flow from that and are more effective because he knows how to set up the initial blow-by..

A head/shot fake everytime upon the catch is something he should be doing, and an in-out dribble (into a gather step, so no additional dribbles) is also a skill he needs and should pick up at some point - it's a move that takes no additional practice once you learn it.

Weird discussion about Congo vs US.

African players are sometimes raw, because they are discovered late, but if they're from a soccer country, then they will usually have good footwork.

Whenever someone says "X player will be another Y player" it guarantees that will never, ever happen.

Lillard was projected as another CP3 and he's lived up to it

Kobe and Lebron are considered like Jordan by a lot of people

Kawhi vastly exceeded his primary comparison (Pippen)

So it happens all the time

[fsvr54]

Nah, Deandre Hunter will be.

No he hasn't. He doesn't play anything like CP3 and CP3 is a way better overall player.

That guy don't know anything about basketball

Lillard was actually projected as Chauncey Billups lol or at least comparisons were rife in his rookie season.

The Warriors hired the Raptors development coach Jama Mahlalela. he developed Siakam and OG Anunoby. It's only a matter of time!

No. He has Wiseman and Moody. They will all peak at the same time then trolls will call them a "super team" even though they were all drafted.

Said it before, best player of this draft. He will be a stud.

CLearly high risk, high reward. This whole deal is absolutely absurd though. KD did a S&T, didn't have to and the team got D'lo. Traded D'lo for a better player and got a 7 pick. Imagine him turning into a star, it's the equivalent of pulling a rabbit out of a hat with all these deal. Bob 4D the league. :applause:

:


I could care less about your ignorant opinions about the game - none of you are right about anything

Bottom line:

a previous poster said that players who are projected to be like "X player", never become that player, which is false - Jordan was projected as Dr. J and exceeded it.. there's COUNTLESS other examples

KD really did the dubs a huge favor. 2 championships + a potential franchise player in Kuminga because of the sign & trade.

Lillard is literally nothing like CP3.

I'm seriously starting to wonder if you've ever watched a single game of basketball before or if you're just going off of youtube comments.

[k0kakw0rld]

Scottie Barnes is saying what's up. No one will mention him because he is a Raptor. But he is the best player in this draft period. He is literally Kawhi/OG 2.0

How is it that we have a post stating that Lillard has lived up to the "next CP3" projection and that's not the dumbest post in this thread?

Lillard and CP3 are similar - you think just because Lillard shoots long threes that they aren't similar - look at their moves dumbass - they're the same caliber point guard and use the same moves.

The problem is that you don't know anything about that and can't differentiate between players.

This is just another derail because you're afraid 3ball is right again.. carry on

Lillard and CP3 are not similar players...of course you are probably only considering one thing which is ball time possession per game.

But Lillard is ultimately a score first combo guard who does most of his damage behind the three point line while Chris Paul is the definition of a pure point guard and mid range assassin.

Chris Paul has also been one of the best PG defenders of all time while Lillard has definitely not been.

Whoever posted that is an idiot. Dont waste your time. This forum is fulls of trolls and alts.

Lillard is a 25 ppg 6-7 apg guy. CP3 is a 15 ppg 10 apg guy. They don't play the same at all.

They use the same moves and are the same caliber point guard.. Lillard was projected to be on CP3's level and succeeded... You guys are just deflecting because you're beta bitches and can't address the point being made.. You guys should be suicidal but you're too dumb to realize it.

Lillard is closer to a shooting guard than a point guard. Stop acting like an idiot just to prove a point who no one gives a f*ck about.

No Kuminga couldn't will not be another Kawhi. If you looking for that, simply look at the Raptors rookie, Scottie Barnes. 6 ft 8 with a 7"3 wingspan.

Who hs had the best performance out of all the TOP 5 picks after one game.

Kuminga is from CONGO just like me so there is no hate here. Just an observation, don't be mad because I disagree with you. I am entitled to my own opinion just like you are.

You are the moron who started talking about Lillard in a Kuminga/Kawhi thread. A thread yourself created, b!tch ass niqqa.

Many players can be the next Kawhi but no one can be the next MJ
