Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2000986, member: 488"] I wouldn't say it's hyperbole because I'm only comparing them stylistically. Kind of like it's not hyperbole to say Larrier reminds you of Paul George or Adams reminds you of Kyrie. With Durham, you can visualize the prototype even as he trudges through the tender stages of his road back. First thing that jumps out at you is his wingspan - 7'3+. That's rare, especially when he's proven capable of moving his feet well on the perimeter. Hell, Ollie has plugged him in at the three from time to time - the sheer thought of a man his size playing the three is freakish. He also looks like he knows how to play basketball, which isn't something I take for granted anymore after our last few big's. He's a damn rail right now. He's not a D-1 player from a strength standpoint - he gets tossed around out there in a way that makes Brimah look like DeAndre Joran. That's not surprising considering his injuries, and it's also not surprising that he moves so tentatively. He doesn't trust the knee yet. I don't know if he ever will. You hope he's not another Omar Calhoun type who never can come all the way back from devastating injuries. He's one of those guys where I vacillate between wondering what might be and what could have been. You wonder just how much a kid like that would have blown up on the circuit w/o the injuries, because he's the rare bread where you pretty much throw the ceiling out based on some of his physical attributes.
