Pitt player comps to Glory Days

[Sean Miller Fan]

Nelly - Woodall
Smaller, run the team first guards but both could score at times

Burton - Wanamaker
Old man mid-range games. Brad better facilitator for others. Burton better scorer

Elliot - Ramon
Ramon more versatile. Elliot better rebounder

Hinson - Zavackas
This is a tough one. Not sure we've ever had a player quite like Hinson who is really a 3 and a half. I mean Sam Young was that but he's on another level.

Fede - McGhee
Another tough one. We hadn't had many wiry athletic 5's. But he plays the defend/rebound role.

Sibande - GB
Has a big game every other game

Guillermo - Kendall

Santos - Yuri

How about Nasir Robinson as a comp for Hinson?

Ricardo Greer - Hinson

Ricardo Greer - Hinson

I was going to say that but Hinson has become more of a 3 point shooter. Greer was more rugged and a great rebounder. Hinston isnt a very good rebounder

Yeah, don’t be fooled by body type. Different ways of getting it done

Not really considering body type. More that Nasir was a gritty inside player, who did all the dirty work and played bigger than he was. Couldn't shoot outside of 10 feet. Hinson has turned into almost exclusively a 3 point shooter. Two completely different players, both very effective with how they play the game.

Rod Brookin/ Clyde Vaughn

Maybe Jamel Artis for Hinson. Good 3-point shooters; not great defensively.

Maybe Jamel Artis for Hinson. Good 3-point shooters; not great defensively.

I thought of him for Hinson, too, but then I didn't think his time at Pitt qualified as the glory days.

Aah, gotcha.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Aah, gotcha.

I mean, maybe it does. I didn't make the rules to this game!

Artis is a good one. Maybe the closest to Hinson. Not a Glory Days player but went to 2 NCAA Tournaments I believe so close enough.

Dior Johnson - Tyrone Haughton

 

[UPitt '89]

Burton - Lamar Patterson
Fede - Talib Zanna
Jorge - Mark McCarroll
Elliott - Ashton Gibbs

Burton - Lamar Patterson
Fede - Talib Zanna
Jorge - Mark McCarroll
Elliott - Ashton Gibbs

I thought about Lamar for Burton but Lamar developed into a very good 3 point shooter whereas Burton isnt that yet. Lamar was taller also.

Thought about Zanna for Fede but Zanna was pretty skilled offensively so I went with McGhee since nothing was expected from him offensively. Still no good comp there.

Jorge-McCarroll: yep, I was going to edit my post to put that but figured he wasnt playing much

Elliott-Gibbs: dont agree with that one. Gibbs had more to his game and was a legit elite scorer

Hinson = Durand Johnson

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Hinson = Durand Johnson

Dior = Durand Johnson
Both D. Johnson's and Dior is off to a great start to this comp since Durand only played 1.5 seasons out of 4 at Pitt.
