Guess this incredible comparison to Rozier

 This is Terry Roziers numbers

Russell Westbrook is listed as 6'-2.25" without shoes and 6'-3.5" with shoes based on draft express measurements.

Rozier is 1.5" shorter without shoes and 1.25" shorter with shoes (apparently Rozier wears taller shoes).  I think it is still a fair comparable but a bit misleading as presented.  Rozier does have 0.5" on Westbrook with wingspan but Westbrook has +1.5" on standing reach.

I believe that Rozier has plenty of measurements to play in the NBA but he is not as long as Westbrook according to the measurements and Westbrook is a tick quicker.

hes for sure a big guard his handles are what i am scared about..we don't need another bradley

 Well he's pg height, also you have nothing to worry about Rozier has really good ball handling ability.  I'd say he is probably the best on the team.  Which is great because Evan Turner at the Point Guard position is embarrassing.

Dennis Shroeder?

Tony Allen? Sebastian Telfair? Jameer Nelson?

Derrick Rose or Jeff Teague. I see a lot of both of them in Rozier's game.

Yeah, I can see Rozier as a very poor man's Westbrook. Athletic score-first combo guard with a questionable jumpshot and tenacious D. It's a well-established superstar mold, Wade and Rose are also similar, then you have guys like Eric Bledsoe in the same mold but less dominant. Rozier, athletic as he is, doesn't have superhuman explosiveness and he's considerably smaller than all these guys. He also currently lacks their feel for the game, handles, passing ability, and finishing ability, so it's not really a comparison. I'd say that Rozier's absolute best case outcome is approximately Bledsoe if he gets better at everything.

I absolutely hate the Rajon Rondo comparison for Rozier, I just don't get it. Rondo's #1 strength--passing ability and floor vision-- is Rozier's #1 weakness.

Good points.

I would take 90% of Bledsoe and be happy.

Westbrook
Wade
Oladipo
Bledsoe
Reggie Jackson

there are so many players having success in the NBA built in a similar mold

How about this scouting report from another combo-type PG as a comparison?

Strengths: Defensively he has NBA skills as he is blessed with quick hands and solid lateral quickness ... Has a unique NBA ready body that is both strong and sturdy ... Can seemingly drive to the lane at will thanks to his great hesitation crossover move that gives him good separation from his defender... Once in the lane he has the uncanny ability to hang in the air and wait for the defense to commit before making his move ... Excellent rebounder for his size ... After he gets the ball he really looks to initiate the fast break ... Once he penetrates into the lane he is a hard player to stop as he is able to rely on his biggest asset which is the drive and dish ... Has developed solid leadership skills often he is a steady influence over his teammates ...Thanks to his wonderful court vision and creativity he has the ability to make difficult passes with pinpoint precision ...

That sounds like a rondo scouting report. I don't think Rozier is credited with being a very good passer at Louisville.
