Very similiar.....thing is Andre is a starter and has been getting almost 6 more mintutes per game. If Ariza was starting and getting the opportunity to get starters minutes Ariza's numbers could have been even better.

Keep in mind that Ariza is 6'7" 194lbs and Andre is 6'6" and 207lbs......not really much difference. They are only a year apart. Ariza hasn't attempted a 3pter yet, but Andre is far from lights out.

If Andre Iguodala is a guy that is in the running for rookie of the year then Ariza should be up there too.

I bet you guys agree they are very similiar players.

ariza has no type of offensive game other than put it on the floor and go straight to the rim. he desperately needs to develop a jumper if he wants to play more than 20 mins a night in his career.

but for where he is now, he's playing far better than anyone would think.

Ariza's #'s are better than TT's in fact...makes you wonder if TT still thinks we're playing pre-season games here...time to start playing some BALL Timmy!

What does Andre do so much better than Ariza?

We'll find out tonight.....

If you saw the last three games you would probably say the same for Andre as you do for Ariza.....

Thing about both I also wanna point out is Andre supposedly already has a decent jumpshot. Ariza supposedly doesn't......when Ariza does start to knock down his shots how good will he be!?!?!?!

I can't wait till tonight......

I'm not saying that Ariza will have a breakout game or that Andre won't.....I just wanna point out the style and similarities of both players.....

The only thing I want Ariza to learn right now is when to pull-up and jump straight up to shoot 6-7 foot jump shot so he doesn't commit those offensive fouls. He is a highlight film waiting to happen. Kinda cool that he picked number 21.
