Using fathers to predict a son's basketball prowess is silly.   How did that work out for Jordan's sons in the NBA?

I agree.

After all, that Step Curry guy is NOTHING like his pops........... :)

doesn't look to have a long wingspan. Poor jump shot.

I doubt he will be able to score around the post like he is doing now.   Until he develops a jumpshot, he might have a role like Tyler Hansborough does in the nba

no thanks.

He's very coordinated and has great footwork. I'm sure his father had something to do with working on his footwork.

He's also faster and tougher then I thought he was.

If it's silly to use any standard that doesn't work 100% of the time, than it's silly to use any standard at all.

Having a parent who was a NBA-caliber player doesn't guarantee success but it sure as heck raises the odds.  Kobe, Curry, Kevin Love, Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Horford, Klay Thompson, Gerald Henderson, Dunleavy, Hardaway Jr, Robinson III,, Jerami Grant, etc...it's a pretty long list for such a "silly" standard.  Doesn't mean Sabonis will excel or even stick in the league but it definitely helps his case.

I think it helps his case but he has two older brothers that aren't great at all.

I don't care what anyone says, Lil Arvy showed some flashes, to me. Some solid D on Okafor...moved well...nice passes...good court awareness.

Needs to gain some weight...or maybe not, if he's a big 3 in NBA? Chandler Parsons maybe?

He's not afraid to bang down low.

Held the ball a bit too long once he got it in the post a few times.

He's just a freshman, too.
