No way--Rudy was s string bean.
thats whats scary...he has rudys body NOW
Rudy gay freshmen Uconn--6-9 190
Jabari Parker freshmen Duke 6-8 235 He does look a LOT like Melo with a higher motor and slightly better handle.
Rudy Gay is Carmelo light.... Anyway you look at it Parker is going to be Damn Good.
side note: rudy gay is one of the most selfish offensive players i've ever seen. he's a second late with all his passes and he misses so many shots. he took 37 shots the other night to score 29 points. he's having a terrible year offensively. i will say this tho - he is playing very very good defense and is really rebounding the ball. so at least he's contributing that way.
imho, i think parker is #1 after the little i've seen so far. he can step in right now and drop 20 easy. randle gives me a little undersized vibes right now - alot like zach. still very very good but with the way the league is right now, parker will have the bigger impact.

He reminds me of Larry Johnson but hes 3 inches taller with longer arms. Hes going to dominate the 4 position inside 24-12 type player. There is such a high level of talent in this draft---what hurts the Knicks is that new franchise players will flow to multiple teams--and many of these teams who will be in the lottery have already acquired good young talent. We have Carmelo who will be 30 by end of year with many miles looking to get 150 over 5. Lets just hope our draft pick doesnt turn out to be an Andrew Wiggins or Parker or any of these dudes,

Watched both games last night - first time seeing the 3 freshman.
Randle was impressive - reminded me of Zach Randolph / DeMarcus Cousins mix --- may be a little bigger than Zach but very similar game around the hoop and use of body.
Parker was very impressive - great feal and all-around game --- reminds me of a Paul Pierce / Carmelo mix --- not a GREAT athlete and body isn't super tight thus the Pierce/Melo comparison.
Wiggins - I was least impressed with last night. Yes the best athlete of the three but his game seemed a bit stiff to me. May be best prospect at NBA level just due to the flow of the game and his great athletiscm/first step.
I saw KD play as a freshman at Texas in person and none of the 3 above stood out like he did but KD was best pure-scoring college player I've seen.

Actuall Gay is a great comparison -- body type for Wiggins.
Parker looks much more like Melo/Pierce due to thicker / softer body.
