I have never seen him play. Is he like Boozer, Cooper Flagg, LeBron James, Michael Jordan or who. For 8 million dollars he better be an absolute superstar.
Stokes is compared to ?

I'd say a less explosive Lebron. I'm comparing size and game; the italics matter.
He is very good and the dollar figure is a guess. 8 million would the highest guess I have seen so far.
Here are some highlights.
His passing is elite and has a big physical body.
I’m going to compare him to a Jamal Mashburn type player who can take over any game and can make everyone else better.
Jayson Tatum current NBA
Carmelo or Pippen

If he has Mashburn skills he will be worth the cash.
I LOVE player comparisons on this board. You’ll get anything from Larry Bird to Manute Bol for the same guy. This thread is a perfect example.
Did you not watch the video or is this just criticism about the nature of most highlight videos? There is some ball handling and a bit of defense on display as well. The OP said he had not seen him in action so I pointed him to something at least.
Did you get to watch the Nike Hoop Summit game? He’s a very unselfish player. He passes the ball real well for his size too.
He’s like me. A bit faster, more explosive, stronger, athletic, and better finishing at the rim.
Ha. I have been here since before most of these posters were born.
I didn't accuse you, sir. I was just asking the other gentleman, who he was referencing.
Not a bad comparison.
The less athletic Lebron is also accurate.
Love a great pass, my favorite part of the game. Hopefully he's making them for Kentucky.
If he comes to Kentucky, I compare him to Michael Kidd Gilchrist. If he goes to Kansas, I compare him to Anthony Bennett.
I’s say a similar mold to Lamar Odom. Fluid passing and Skilled forward. Not explosive but good athlete.
Hes definitely as good scoring inside as Barnes but he can also handle the ball and run the point if he needed to. You can put him at the top of the press and he can cause havoc causing 10 second calls. he’s become a really good shooter as well this past year and is getting better and better everyday. Not many too compare him to actually because he can do about everything a superstar guard can but he’s so strong and big. Cade Cunningham perhaps but stronger, more athletic with more upside. Just scary potential really because he’s one of the hardest workers on the planet at the game of basketball. He doesn’t have Kobe Bryant talent ( who does besides when Jordan played), but he has that work ethic.
In between Tatum and Cade Cunningham is pretty close he’s so strong and quick for a guy that big and jumps over the dang rim to dunk on everyone. lol. Hard to compare him really.

Yeah but back in the day you’d have beat dat azz!
remember when you were coming out of middle school, if only they’d had NIL then. Talking the big bucks my friend.
I’m not too sure it’s very much if he’s less athletic than him. He does things during games where it definitely resembles him though.
To me he's exactly what yaxel lendenborg is. Same size, same style play
He’s not getting 8 million I don’t care what anyone says. I think he will get 4 maybe 5.
