I would say Paul George if he was a 2 guard.

Smoothest in the game since t-mac.:myman:

It's gonna be a long while before we get another like kobe at the 2 guard spot.:yeshrug:

Wiggins has the talent, but he doesn't seem to have that killer mentality Kobe had. It is a rare breed to come into the league and think you can beat Jordan right away. The combination of the mentality, work ethic, LUCK when it comes to injuries and the right situation doesn't come around often.

I say we will have ONE potential SG that can come into the league with that type of potential and it will be another 10 before we can accurately compare him to the GAWD.

Remember, Kobe came into the league in 1996 and didn't really start hearing those Jordan comparisons till about 2000-2001.

Wiggins also isn't a shooting guard.

I agree with the post but the Jordan comparisons came right away, remember the 98 all star game?

Also a young Kobe dropped 33 against the bulls in 97

Zach Lavine

he's only 20

Exacly who I was thinking.

Not better or even as good...but similar enough in this era? With that team going forward? He won't ever see Bean though.

Devin booker


Lavine is 21


Devin Booker has the size & craftiness, but lacks the athleticism of prime Kobe.


I think he can get close, tho.He's a legit 6'6-6'7, can handle the ball, sneaky athletic(not prime Kobe level, tho), and has a mean streak.

If he works on his back to the basket game/fadeaway, he's going to surprise a lot of people with how good he can be.

I think he's tougher than Lavine, to.Higher IQ/better feel for the game.
