Not at all. CP is a better all around player than TM was. I have always felt like TM had a Div 1 euro pro ceiling.

And you don't think CP doesn't have that same ceiling? I love much of his game, his leadership and especially his loyalty, but I don't think NBA player LOCK at all....maybe...after all, Austin Reaves is playing and I never saw THAT coming....

CP is the best blocker for his size I’ve ever seen.
He’d be 1st Team All-NBA at PG, if that’s the only stat they took into consideration.
I think someone gives him a shot, based on that alone, but he’ll stick on somewhere because of more than that.The Assman

Fake news. TM was an elite NBA level defender that could not shoot quite well enough to stay in the league. CP is not nearly the defender that TM is/was. CP blocks are misleading as he gets many from behind, after getting beat off the dribble. Fine in college, but he is getting dunked on by NBA guards after the blow by.
CP's extremely well rounded skill set is on an elite level, and he won't be relying mainly on freakish physical gifts to make it. He is more likely to survive playing with and against the most talented players in the world than TM ever was.Last edited by Kung Wu; April 17, 2023, 05:33 PM.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!

Lol! This right here is some straight up nonsense. How the eff can a block be misleading? So it's a less block if it comes from behind? Help me understand this because it makes no logical sense whatsoever.

Most of his blocks aren't from getting beat though. They're help and transition defense.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

TM was given a chance because he had nearly Olympic level endurance combined with serious foot speed. It was his raw gifts that got him in the door, not his play. When you have a player that steps on the court and blows by your elite level NBA point guard, and can keep doing it all night long -- you're gonna get an extended look. I'm not going to sit here an bag on TM as to why he never panned out at that level -- we all know why. He had a nice long pro career bouncing around the globe and we should celebrate that.

Put me squarely in the TM over CP camp. At least he was well above average in one important category. Can't say the same about CP.
