Did you look at rebounds, assists, TS ... or are u just comparing simple stats?

And, do you realize what kind of expectations that he needs to live up to in year two?

I can't even believe that I am actually typing right now!

I know what they are and Reggie Miller was pretty much better across the board but lets say that are equal, does that mean that we can predict that THJ will then turn out to be as good as Miller?

Do you see how silly that is?

Why can't you just see how they develop? Jeremey Tyler pom poms? Really?

Watching Reggie in 1987 and watching thjr in 2013-14 watch the way they played their rookie year is very similar... Their release is very similar. Also Reggie was a 22 year old rookie thjr is 22 now .. As a 6th man which thjr will be 16 points 3reb 3asst. 1.3 steals isn't far off... Are they exactly the same... No .. Thjr can fly and drive to the lane something reggie wishes he could have done.. Is thjr as accurate shooting no.. Is he the actor Reggie was on defense no .. Can he hit the transition 3 like Reggie yes. Can he curl around a screen like Reggie and hit the jumper. yes.. Can he get to the free throw like like Reggie could yes is he as good a ft shooter no. Can thjr jab step like Reggie and hit the 3 in his mans face yes... See what I mean.. Am I saying thjr will be so lucky to have the career Reggie did.. Idk and neither do you.. But to say there game is not similar is being ignorant. Esp the way they play offensively..

Do you know that Calderon won't turn into a prime Steve Nash? Neither do I.

Grain of salt? Could be but alarms? Yes ... that too.

Now maybe he is/will be a decent rotation player but comparing him to a HOFer? Do you feel in your heart that THJ will be a HoFer? Does your heart tell you that THJ will be one of the most feared and efficient shooting guards in history?

My gut tells me that THJ has a chance to be a decent rotation player.

I feel that's Thjrs worst case is to be a decent rotation player ... Best case: all star type sg dream case: hof

I say worst case because he already is a decent rotation player at 22 .. Nobody pinned Reggie as a future hof player at 22 but he did really start to elevate his game his sophomore year hopefully thjr will do the same .

Hardaway non offensive talents should be concerning but it would be more concerning if he repeats those short-cummings his sophomore year.

True! And I really like how thjr has bulked up ... He's also a loud mouth leader on this summer league squad! Can't wait for the game today!
