Best Giddens Comparison

[arambone]

Can anybody think of a good J.R. Giddens NBA comparison, or a best case comparison? Is Eddie Jones in the ballpark?

Somewhere in between Bobby Simmons, and JR Smith?  He also reminds me a bit of Danny Granger...although shorter.

Bobby Simmons because of his tough play and playing bigger than himself.  JR Smith because of his athleticism and ability to finish at the rim, combined with good outside shooting...but not a whole lot in between.

Pre-injury Tony Allen.  It's like the Celtics want to clone the guy or something.

Giddens is way more athletic than any of the previously mentioned names.  Just wait and see.  Giddens is a stud.  We won't be missing Posey.  Don't compare him to Tony Allen.  He is a little more athletic.  He can finish better, and plays d just as well if not better.  BTW, post and pre injusry Tony Allen's jumper was crap.  More so now, mostly due to post injury confidence.

Iguadala with Gerald Wallace's ball-handling skills...athleticism is on par with both...

I don't know a whole lot about giddens but comparisons to bigger SFs like Butler, Iggy etc are surprising. I had in mind an eddie jones type.
