Is Draymond Green the closest we've seen to Barkley?
The guy is listed at 6'7" so he's probably 6'5" 1/2 or 6'6" in reality. He's routinely going against much bigger players, outrebounding them and scoring over them. He gives more of a consistent effort on defense than Chuck did but the way he's able to dominate larger guys reminds me a little bit of Barkley. According to DraftExpress green was measured at 6'5" 3/4 at the combine, so he's probably about an inch taller than Charles Barkley.

Obviously Barkley was better but Green, like Barkley, is very undersized, height wise, for the power forward position. He's only a little bit taller than Barkley and he's also able to dominate much taller players.

Barkley on offense
A smaller Ben Wallace on defense

Barkley was a low post player, one of the best post scorers ever. Green doesn't play in the post much from what i have seen.
Maybe Zach Randolph could be seen as a poor mans Barkley.He just doesn't have the athleticism Barkley had but is a good post scorer/rebounder.

I just told you who he plays like and you choose to ignore it.I guess being compared to lamar odom is not good enough for you. im out of this thread you got it he's barkley with better defense....

They both are undersized in height, but have large bases, long arms, and are extremely strong.
Barkley is a lot more talented offensively than Dray however but Dray gives 10x the effort on defense than Barkley did.

I see him more as a rich mans LeBron. Better jumpshot, postgame, superior defense. Next Barkley is Julius Randle.

What are you on your period? Chill your sensitive little ass out. I was just countering why I see a comparison to Barkley. Odom was 6'10" or 6'11", that right there makes him very different compared to Draymond.

Draymond is more like Anthony Mason than Barkley.
A modern pace-and-space version of Mase.

So by your standards Porzingis and Shaq both play the same because they have similar height?
His point makes sense in that Draymonds game is similar to Odom, I think more Odom than it is Barkley too unless all you are looking at is being undersized and not how they actually play basketball.

Draymond is Anthony Mason w/ a 3PT shot

Re: Is Draymond Green the closest we've seen to Barkley?
Barkley had that "Get the hell outta way when he's coming down the lane" factor.

Re: Is Draymond Green the closest we've seen to Barkley?
Draymond is 10 times better on Defense, and he has a ring, which Barkley lacks
Plus Barkley wasn't the playmaker Draymond is
At the end of his career, he'll be better than Barkley all-time
