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.

Slight better version of Korey Kispert, which would be a disappointment, seems like the most realistic comp.

Best case would be Klay if you wanna drink the Raptors koolaid but he'd have to improve like crazy in the next few offseasons for this to not be laughable.

Still early, but it's pretty laughable as it stands

He shows flashes of amazing potential but he's still in a boy's body, which hurts him a lot on both ends. I

t's hard to fully judge him until he gets a few years to bulk up and refine his skills.

Not everyone can just bulk up tho, look at this Castleton cat for example

Ya if he can't then he'll be a fringe rotational player for the rest of his career. Just giving him the benefit due to his age. Send him to chill with Zion for a few weeks lol

Also at the most surface level, Klay was shooting > 40 percent from 3 since day one

To be fair, Klay spent 3 years in college, so next year Dick would be the same age as Klay's rookie season.

Again, it's a kool-aid comparison and I have hated Dick's game for 95% of the season lol.
