Q (Offense) - At best in a 1 on 1 matchup. He's a multiple dribble guy. Not quick but methodical. Using his strength to get by defenders. Crafty shot maker in the paint. Creates contact to get to the line. Really improved on his 1 on 1 pull up 3's this season. Taking a couple dribbles to get his rhythm before he rises up. Pretty good catch & shoot guy. Not a big factor off the ball he stands & watches.
Klay and Q aren’t even close to same player and I prob watch LESS NBA ball than anyone on here. Klay is probably one of the 5 -10 all time pure shooters in league history
Q had to be The Guy for the majority of his carrer here, and he ended up a 1st team All Sec player. He might actually flourish not having to be the guy.
Will Q ever be a NBA all pro? Or even be a multi year starter ? Probably No.
Could he be a 10 year NBA “journeyman”? Absolutely
Honestly I think SI may have had the best comparison in the article. E'Twaun Moore from the Pelicans.
No way a 6'5" shooting guard that makes a living off driving to the basket, and shooting 39-40% from 3 a can be an elite player in the NBA....Quote:

The NBA is strange...
I'm not the one that described James Harden when listing Q's reason to fail...Quote:

I agree with you. I think Q could be a multiyear NBA role player. But the NBA is strange and all pro sports are about work ethic more than anything after a certain athletic threshold...

I love Quinderry but that would be absolutely shocking on every imaginable levelQuote:

I don't watch much of the NBA except the occasional Hawks game but Q is comparable to Kent Bazemore. About the same size and athletic ability. Baze was starting last year but is coming off the bench now. I think Q's defense will be the determining factor if he makes it in the NBA and how long. His offensive game is good enough.
That’s the most fair comparison in this thread. Bazemore is a fringe player who was undrafted, bounced around D league, and has played for 3 teams in 4 years. The average NBA career is 4.5 years and Bazemore won’t be in the league much longer imo. His defense is what has made him stick around.Quote:
