Tre Kelley ain’t gettin drafted, he could catch on being a rookie free agent signing, but he might very well be headed to the NBDL or some other league. .

First off, is this not a comment site??? You get off my sack. You obviously don’t know anything about a skilled point guard and probably not an athlete at all. You are a miserable outcast who never fit in with anything so you get your rock off by just trying to rag on random people ON THE INTERNET!!! Please get a life dawg. Oh and as for Tre’s status he’s killing in workouts. June 28th will tell all. Put that in your pipe and smoke it BIIIIAAAAACH!!!!! .

Get off Tre Kelleys sack. Thats all you do is cry about how he’s not talked about. He isn’t that good of a player for the pros, get over it. .

You know it’s a shame that Tre Kelley has accomplished all that he has in South Carolina and as an athlete period and is still not recognized. Something is sorely wrong with this picture. .

I think two other underrated ones are Derrick Byars=Shane Battier and also Julian Wright=Andrei Kirilenko. Those are two awesome comparsions. .

I love all your comparsions but the most underrated one thats not getting alot of attention is the Alando Tucker=Josh Howard comparsion, I think thats a great one. .

I don’t think Rodney Stuckey can be a Ben Gordan type player. To me he would be Antonio Daniels. Everything else I agree with. .

I’m a huge Arizona fan and I watch all there games and the comparsions you gave for the wildcat players are on point, and people can check the tapes to see the comparsions. M.Williams has similar game to M.Dunleavy. I.Radenovic who is underrated has game similar to T.Murphy. M.Shakur has game similar to M.Banks. No doubt a good job with looking at the overall playing styles and comparing them. .

I never thought about Noah being like a Chandler thats a pretty good one I usually hear Camby, Varejo, and Madsen. .

I’am gald you’re not comparing Durant to Dirk or Tracy. Rashard Lewis definetly makes more sense good job on that one, and the rest of them also. .

I think Corey Brewer is better than Stacey Augmon. I can buy Al Thornton like LJ, Horford is more like Big Ben, Morris Almond is like a Maggette, and McRoberts will be like a Nick Collison. But Lances comparsions were pretty good. .

I think some of the comparisons where off.Josh Mcroberts plays like Troy Muphy, Morris Almond plays like mitch richmond, Corey Brewer plays like stacey augmon, Al horford plays like antonio mcdyess, Al thornton plays like Larry johnson, but the other s ones where pretty good you have some skills. .
