I saw some pictures of NBA players when they were kids, found it funny to notice how some of them did look almost exactly like their "adult" version, and I thought it would be fun to make a game thread out of it, by posting a picture, and trying to guess who it was.

Feel free to post your own pics after the answer has been found for the previous one!

I'm starting with this relatively easy one :



PS : not sure I posted this in the right section ; if it's not the case, sorry for the disturbance.

Nope, it's not Rondo! Hint : a player drafted after the 2003 class.

Nope! ;D

The player from the pic has played against the Celtics two times this season... (can't be more helpful than that ;)).

I may have confused you when I said that he looked like LeBron physically, but I meant that their faces are very similar.

Yup, TP! Funny to notice how similar he looks today, and how he already had rings (correct term?) under his eyes as a kid.

2 other easy pics :
