Jahlil Okafor is a poor man's version of Brook Lopez, who is in turn a poor man's version of Pau Gasol.

Ryan Kelly is a homeless man's version of Ryan Anderson.

PostPosted: Mon Apr 09, 2018 2:02 pm    Post subject: Here's an unlikely man's version of...

Say hello to ex-Laker MarShon Brooks, the newest incarnation of Jamal Crawford.

Code:

Season  Age Tm  Pos  G GS   MP  FG  FGA  FG%  3P 3PA 3P%   FT FTA FT% TRB AST STL BLK TOV  PTS
2017-18  29 MEM  SG  5  1 27.6 8.8 15.2  58% 3.2 5.2 62%  2.8 3.2 88% 3.6 1.4 0.6 1.6 0.6 23.6


4 years out of the league, worked on his craft in China, now dropping buckets in Memphis. He just got a 2 year deal with the Griz, probably not guaranteed for now, but it's a deal nonetheless. Chances are he logs a bunch of minutes in next season's Grizzlies tankathon.

Congrats to MarShon...hard work gets rewarded.

Yeah, Jamal Crawford. Come off the bench, knock down jumpers, play no defense. Not to hard to draw a parallel.

I don't recall Brooks ever doing anything Kobe-like. Not sure how anyone could jump to that conclusion. He was a guy with a jump shot, but not much of anything else beyond that in his first tour of duty around the league.

I don't see the similarities between Kuzma and Walker.

I just spoke to Shaq. He's going to pay you a visit later tonight with a few buddies of his.
