NBA Players Can't Believe the Comparisons Jalen Rose Made During 2015 NBA Draft
Jalen Rose is struggling out there.
I don't know if the loss of wingman Bill Simmons has left him in a state of semiconsciousness or if he's just Jalen-ing at an all-time level, but the ESPN hoops personality seems even more unprepared than usual when summing up this year's shipment of college talent.
So far, Rose has compared Arizona's Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (explosive swingman) to Josh Smith (three-chucking glue stick) and UNLV's Rashad Vaughn (6'6", decent shooter) to Dion Waiters (Dion Waiters).
I'll put it this way: Early in the night, he and the panel brought up D'Angelo Russell in the same breath as Magic Johnson. I know.
It came to the point where onlookers—professional ballplayers included—were openly wondering just what in the hell Rose was talking about with his questionable comparisons.
"it's OK to have player comparisons like Scalabrine, me, etc. not everybody needs an all star comparison. lls

"Jalen Rose just compared Hollis-Jefferson to Josh Smith. Is there a more damning comparison possible? Honest question.

Jalen Rose: good NBA man, occasionally watches college ball.
Dan is on Twitter. He sees a lot of Russell Wilson in D'Angelo Russell because Russes gonna Russ.
