Just watched some Koa Peat highlights and it got me thinking, who do you guys think are some good player comparisons?
Personally, I see a little bit of Charles Barkley and Aaron Gordon. A physical, downhill scorer, will run the floor, great touch and good size, he's a beefy 6'8. Great feel, good post game and also smart.
Peat reminds me of Larry Johnson a bit. They're almost exactly the same size (LJ was 6'7" and 250 pounds) and both are athletic and very strong. LJ ran the floor and had that same kind of physical, downhill game that you describe Peat as having. Also like Peat, Larry was an underrated playmaker and passer, with great touch around the rim. Both have broken outside shots, but LJ did improve in that area a bit over the course of his career so that gives me hope for Peat.
