I picked these 2 players in particular because they both are a throwback to the late 80s early 90s

Jaquez with the crazy footwork and pump fakes

J-Will with the smooth mid range off the dribble and effective scoring

3 questions:

Who is the more throwback style?

Who is going to be a better player?

Give the earliest throwback player comparison for both

If I had to compare

Jaquez = Adrian Dantley / Kevin McHale

Jalen Williams = Reggie Lewis

I dunno, it’s depressing Bron never gets to play with these kinds of talented young players.

Jalen will be better. More upside. Jaquez will be passed by other rookies because he's older much like Kuzma was a top rookie when he was older than others

Jaquez has more in his toolbox. I say he has the higher ceiling

Than Jalen Williams?!

Or Kuzma?

If you’re talking Jalen Williams then no. Jaquez is a gamer and is and/or will be an asset to a winning team but Williams can take games over at a different level.

Shai/Jalen/Chet is going to be a very scary 1-2-3 for people sooner than later.

Jalen is a shooter primarily. Jaquez has a plethora of moves that only a handful of NBAers could pull. Hence I say higher ceiling.
