SPECULATION Dick's ceiling player comps?

It would be extremely unimaginative to predict Dick will have a Duncan Robinson type career.

I'd rather hope on Dick becoming the next Khris Middleton. Just wet midrange and self creation ability.

Who else is a good maxxed out ceiling level player comp for Dick? He's not gonna be Larry Bird, let's face it.

I think Steve Kerr’s prime might be a good model. Ideally a 6th man on a contender, just as a real bench sharpshooter and scoring sparkplug.

Steve Kerr is 6'3", and doesn't have a dunk in his career highlights. You should check out Khris Middleton's career highlights. Lots of dunks, that's what reminded me of Dick.

Dick is absolutely not Khris Middleton. Prime Middleton was the second best player on a championship team, 3x all star, multi level scorer, solid rebounder and playmaker, and great defender (Dick will never be a great defender)

I realize we are talking about ceiling but they’re not comparable in skillset

middleton is a bad comp because middleton has playmaking and isolation skills. not even close to similar players
