If you ask me being a SG version of LeBron is not a good thing. Part of why he's dominant is his size in both height and weight. If you're lacking in that department I feel like you need to be more like a SG version of Durant if anything :jbhmm:

He should be good but I'm worried about how his game translates

He definitely won't be as good as LeBron because he lacks Bron's size and physicality. But there is always a place for a hyper athletic guard in the NBA that can drive, pass, and handle the ball.

As the previous poster just said Russell Westbrook is a PG version of LeBron with worse instincts and he's still a dominant NBA player. RJ Barrett will be better than Westbrook but worse than LeBron.

Curry is a fraud who couldn't even win finals mvp over Andre Igoudala. Cavs exposed him in the finals.

Finals averages

24.8 ppg 5.6 rebs 4 ast

25.7 ppg 6 rebs 6.5 ast


Which numbers are better? Which one is a fraud? Are they both frauds?

Don't know and don't care. I watched the games. I don't care about him getting lucky and stat padding his way a few times. Steph Curry is a fraud. Kyrie exposed in 2016. And for the last 2 years he's had KD saving his butt.

Take KD off the Warriors and they never make it back to the Finals after 2016.
