Dwight Miller plays like

[bleedingTNorange]

So you can compare him to Chism, but this guy can't say Miller reminds him of Slay in one performance?

Why does it even matter that people want to compare him to former players? Why would that bother anyone so much?

I didn't compare him.

I said his shot reminded me of how weezy used to step out for 3's. As in it reminded me about those days when we had a post that liked to pop out.

The op said he plays likes Ron Slay.

You really dont see the difference?

Someone awhile back said after a game in which skylar went off it reminded them of lofton. They weren't saying mcbee played like lofton, just that going off from 3 like he did reminded them of how lofton played when he was here.

Same thing.

Seeing miller pop out as a post for 3 reminded me of how much Wayne used to do it. Much different than me saying HE PLAYS LIKE a 1st team all sec player.

This guy didn't say miller reminds me of, he said he plays like. That's comparing someones game, would you say after someone hit a few nice J's that that guy plays LIKE Jordan? Hell no. You may say it reminded you of how good Jordan was at that but you wouldn't say that guy PLAYS LIKE Jordan would you?

 

[Stoked]

Tatum reminds me of Snopp Doggy Dogg

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Skylar Mcbee reminds me of joe dirt.

 

[Stoked]

But seriously McRae reminds me of Jordan Crawford. The kid that's is from Xavier and dunked on Lebron. I think he plays for the wizards.

Jordy will be in the league if he continues to play like he did last night.

That dunk still gives me chills, seeing it in person was unreal, I thought there was no way he was gonna get there.

I have this feeling that after we make our first final four run next year and after his break out year, we will have McRae, Maymon, and Stokes heading to the draft. Call me crazy but this team is going to be dangerous next year. We will see an even different Maymon that can drop back 17 ft and shoot.

 

[Stoked]

PS I'm going to get hell for that ^^

 

[bleedingTNorange]

If trae improves like I think he will as a first year PG going into year 2, maymon extends his range, stokes gets stronget(that's scary) and McRae adds a little weight and gets his shot a bit more consistent watch out.

Add in d'montre Edwards who I really think is going to be a solid player and ad you said this team will be dangerous.

IMO next to stokes, and honestly maybe evn close to him, nobody has the potential McRae does. IMO

How good can Edwards shoot? I wish I could find a video on him. I can even see Hall adding some muscle and improving maybe.

I believe he was 38% on the year so far from 3 last time I looked.

You're arguing semantics here -- and still losing at that. Just because you compare somebody to another doesn't mean you're saying they're their equal. You compared Miller's 3 point shot to Chism's shot. There's no debating that.

The OP did say that Miller played like Slay, but at the same time, his comparison is no more of less of a comparison than your comment.

You're wrong. I don't know why you can't just admit it.

Unfortunately for Maymon he wont sniff an NBA floor. He works hard, but he can't overcome his height. He would be eaten alive by NBA 4's and he couldn't guard a 3.

He's listed at 6'7, but that's a short 6'7.

Please tell me where I compared miller shot to Wayne's? I'll wait....

I simply said it REMINDED me of Wayne. Miller stepping out and hitting shots as a big man reminded me of Wayne, what don't you get?

Saying someone reminded me of someone else is in no way the same as saying this guy plays like this guy.

That's like me watching Jenkins of Vanderbilt and seeing him hit 3 after 3 and saying wow that reminds me of lofton, nice to see that.

That's not me saying Jenkins plays like lofton. Reading comprehension my friend, 2 completely different meanings of statements that you are trying to join together as 1.

If he adds that outside gane hell get some looks IMO.

Nobody thought Tobias was quick enough or big enough to play the 4 in the league, look at what he's doing.

He would have to put in some major work. Just look at Scotty, athletic as can be and can hit from outside somewhat consistent. He is same size as Maymon height wise, and quicker, and he wouldn't be able to guard an NBA 2 or 3 either.

As for Tobias, different game than Maymon. He can take a 4 off the dribble cause he is leaner and longer. Maymon is a banger, his game as it is doesn't translate to the NBA. But, as you said, if he develops an outside game it will help.

The only reason Scotty didn't go was himself. His game and tools were all there, of he had maymons attitude and mind set he'd have been first round.

How tall was Barkley?

Not saying maymon is barkley by any means but you can get by being undersized with his mentality and aggression.

Btw. The answer is listed at 6'6" but is actually 6'4".

Part of Chism's game was stepping out and hitting a 3.

Part of Miller's game last night was stepping out and hitting a 3.

Those are comparable parts of each players' games that you pointed out.

Therefore, that is a comparison. You really are terrible at this whole "debate" thing.

And to further illustrate your ignorance on you semantics tirade, the word "compare" means as follows:

"to examine (two or more objects, ideas, people, etc.) in order to note similarities and differences"

Both are big men, both make outside shots. There's a similarity. That is a comparison.

But what also is a comparison is noting the differences. Wayne was a much better, more developed player. Making that statement, I compared Dwight Miller to Wayne Chism, and guess what? You too compared Miller to Chism by saying he's not the player Chism was.

See how amazing it is to use terms correctly and know what they mean? It helps to know what you're talking about.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

You are completely off base.

So if I say the way Kenny hall blocked that shot reminded me of the way Shaq blocks shots that means the same thing as Kenny hall plays like Anthony Davis???

I don't think so.

It was a reminder of something. Once again, another one for you. Someone say how skylar a few games hitting all those 3's reminded them of Lofton. Did that mean they were saying skylar mcbee plays LIKE Chris lofton.

Once again I don't think so.

It was seeing something that reminded you of something. Much like seeing an elderly women walking down the road reminds someone of their grandmother. That doesn't mean she is just like your grandmother, it means that seeing that general attribute reminded you of someone.

This has seriously gone way too far, I don't understand how you don't get this.

Most simple example I can think of...this apple I ate reminded me of a apple pie I had last week that was so good. That's not me saying the apple I ate was LIKE that apple pie, it's saying seeing(this case eating) something sparked something in your brain that REMINDED you of something in the past.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Once again let me reiterate for you. I could care less if the OP was comparing thei outside shot, he wasn't though and that's what you're missing.

He was saying he plays LIKE slay.

So would you agree with the statement that Jordan McRae plays LIKE Jordan?

No you wouldn't.

But you'd probably be ok with conparing the 2 right? That's simply just a discussion about the 2 different players games.

But saying McRae plays LIKE Jordan is just a false statement.

OP said: MILLER PLAYS LIKE RON SLAY

I said: Miller popping out for 3's reminded me of Chism.

Sure that is a comparison of certain aspects of each players game, but at no point am i suggesting that they are close to the same player. By saying someone play like someone that's suggesting they are very similar to each other as players.

You really think both those statements mean the same thing?

If you can't see the difference in what the OP said to what I said its truly hopeless to even continue.

No, you asked me to point out where you compared the two players. Once I clearly demonstrated you were wrong, you completely change what you mean.

It doesn't work that way.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

this was your original quote to me

It doesn't work that way.

ok yes, in your round about way i guess im compared miller shot to chism and so in effect that means im comparing the 2, but your still missing the original point here.

you say, where i bolded, this guy didnt say miller REMINDS him of slay. he said he PLAYS like slay, those are 2 completely different meanings and that was my point.

i have no problem with the OP saying lets compare miller to slay after 1 game, and then proceeding to give comparisons. BUT why the heck would you say Miller PLAYS like Slay after one game? that was all i was saying.

once again, would you say Mcrae plays like Michael Jordan? i mean you can compare the 2, and apparently in your mind that means the same thing. because clearly the OP said he plays like, but yet your saying he is comparing the 2, so in your mind those 2 statements mean the same thing?

so like i said Mcrae plays alot LIKE MJ doesnt he? or would you say he plays more LIKE Lebron?

Nope, I never said he didn't make a claim between Slay and Miller. You're misinterpreting What "no" is in reference.

this was your quote man...

..........................

you are saying that he said "miller REMINDS him of slay", THATS NOT WHAT HE SAID

you then say, people want to COMPARE him to former players, once again he wasnt asking lets COMPARE players.

he said dwight miller PLAYS LIKE ron slay. thats a statement, that is saying it is a fact that in this game dwight miller PLAYED LIKE ron slay.

that was my issue, because that simply isnt true.

if his original statement was as you are trying to say it was, that he reminds him of or that he wanted to compare them, then i would have had nothing to say.

however, that is not what he said. he made the statement he PLAYS LIKE HIM.

Btno, don't take this the wrong way but you argue a lot and with a lot of people.
