BI - more skilled TPrince. Probably with better shooting. Highest ceiling Pippen.
Kuzma - hard to say but I am going with Bosh
Hart - Rick Fox with better shoot also more athletic.
Ball - Rondo with slightly better shoot
Sviatoslav - lets say Korver as highest ceiling
Wagner - don't have a clue but lets go with Valanciunas.

BI - I don't think he has a template to follow. Understated all-star wing in the toughest conference. Guile and poise over style and noise.
Kuzma - Consistent scorer, will struggle to be the real leader for a team - but a big personality on and off will take the focus, and the heat, off of his teammates.
Hart - the SG Derek Fisher, going to work hard throughout his career and will step up when we need him. Low ego, priceless presence.
Ball - Kidd, but think his driving to the bucket will develop more than his perimeter threat.

Lonzo Ball vs Rondo/Kidd really doesn't make sense, because Kidd and Rondo both excel in the halfcourt. Also, KIDD/RONDO were very crafty players, similar to DLO. Lonzo is not at all.

Lonzo to me is more of a point forward, than a point guard.

Lonzo to me is just a more inexperienced kid playing PG. He has the ability to get there...

its rashard lewis. you hit it perfectly. not melo because melo is an iso scorer that uses his strength a lot. kuz will never be as strong as melo was. not even close. and kuz is not a ball stopper, melo is or at least was back then even though he could score with the best of them.

so

Ingram-Giannis without the strength

Ball-steve nash with defense(you said ceiling.)

Kuz- Prime Seattle Rashard Lewis. anything above prime lewis and there's no one to compare kuz's game to.


Hart-Mario Ellie championship years with better rebounding.

Ball = Nash?

Nash was an elite ball handler. Lonzo can barely dribble between his legs.

Yea its kind of weird people are comparing Lonzo to really good dribblers when Lonzo is maybe the worst dribbling pg (Starting) in the nba,

I really do think he can reach 'unstoppable' status in 2-4 years.

NBA ceilings of Ingram, Ball, Kuzma, Hart, Wagner and Svi


Ingram - I'm still sticking to my 80% Giannis with a jumpshot when I made the scouting report years ago. So far, it's sticking.

Ball - Kidd. Taller. Different.

Kuzma - Rashard Lewis is a common one but I don't like it. Right now he's the guy Kevin Knox wishes he was. Better healthy Gallinari

Josh Hart - Gary Harris; less pure shooting, better finishing. less perimeter defense, better against bigs.

Wagner - He already passed my Brad Miller expectations.

Mykhailiuk - The guy Nik Stauskas was supposed to be. Almost dead on comparison to Sasha Pavlovic, except Sasha never refined his skill set. Mykhailiuk had a huge head start playing PG in HS and FIBA. Now? He's potentially Gary Harris.

I personally think Kuz could be our Worthy, the kid has a ton of moves, offensively gifted just as Worthy was, Worthy got us 20PPG & 7+RPG during the 80s Championship runs. The only thing Kuz has over Worthy is the 3PT shot.

Upside/comparisons might be too different things. But, if you are talking upside then..

Ingram-Jimmy Butler (Butler is a 20-6-5 player at this stage of his career. I think Ingram had the tools to do that. BI needs to work on his defense and free throw shooting though. Until then, I would compare him to Sprewell at this point, who was a 4x all star and career 18-4-4, which is not bad at all
But as far as ceiling, let's shoot for the stars and go with Butler.)

Kuzma-Peja Stojakovic (6-9 high volume three point shooter like Kuz. Peja could of very well be pushed to the stretch 4 in today's NBA.)

Hart-Paul George (I want to say Mitch Richmond, but I dont believe Mitch was an impact defensive player like Hart has the potential to be. Like PG, Hart has the ability to 3 and D and then some, see: rebounding, etc., but like PG, Hart probably doesn't have the world class talent to carry a team. Hart will be known for being a winner, unlike PG.

Wagner-Nowitzki (as far as ceiling, sure why not. At the minimum, Wagner could be a Lauri Markanaan.)

Svi-Ray Allen (Yeah, I said it...why not? What is stopping him?)

Ball-Kidd. I don't believe he has "it" like Kidd did, but Lonzo could be the closest thing to him, he should at least match him stat wise any way, which would make him HOF worthy.

I meant that Kuzma's ceiling is what I predict the kind of career Tatum will have — not Tatum's first year.
