Sure they play different positions, but Kyle Guy just finished his 3rd season at UVA, and he's a way better basketball player than Okpala, IMO. But Okpala has all this upside, right?
To be honest, I only saw KZ on highlights, which can only make someone look impressive. But comparing a 6'3" guard to a 6'7" wing man for purposes of NBA potential is silly. I saw Kyle Guy play and he's a nice college guard, but I can't see him doing much in the NBA, much like Bobby Hurley was a fantastic college point guard, but you knew that he would be limited by athleticism and size once he got to the NBA. I'm going to bet the NBA scouts know their business better than folks on this board. There seems to be consensus for KZ as a mid first round pick which would indicate he has potential to be an NBA starter in a few years.
