Historical comparisons for Rockets young core

People hate player comparisons.

It’s understandable. It’s a reductive way to analyze players. If I ask you what a record sounds like, and you tell me it’s Sly Stone meets Celine Dion... OK. Tell me what Sly Stone and Celine Dion sound like without naming an earlier artist. Describe the music in a way that describes the music.

Oh, and also: that sounds just horrible.

With all of that said: I love player comparisons. They’re a vice. It’s a basketball geek thing. I’m someone who could sit around with friends for hours and name old basketball players.
