Rashard lewis came into the league out of high school while Donatas came in at 22 with years of pro experience? I don't get how you can even make that comparison.

Why don't you compare their stats from ages 22-25 and see if you still think Donatas has the edge.
I'm not going to look but if you feel the need to post them to prove your point go ahead.  Compairing what people do at the same age isn't always a great idea.  People/Players mature at different levels.  If someone takes 4yrs longer to mature it doesn't mean that they are any less good just because it took them longer to get there.  Sure the younger player will have more potential and I'm not trying to argue against that either.
 
Although for the record I'm not comparing the two and I'm not trying to be this super advocate for Motie either I'm just going off of what they did once they actually got to the league.  Now sure their first 3 years were very similar but Lewis continued so it's something that Motie has to do and with his health concerns he probably will never get the chance to see what he could have become but I don't see why there's this whole negative aura around him and I don't see why anyone would think he's done developing or on the decline.  Outside of last year which he was dealing with back issues he has done nothing but improve so if healthy why wouldn't that trend continue and allow him to see more playing time.

There's nothing to compare. Even if DMo is healthy and will reach his prime, he'll be a completely different player from ReShard. DMo is a fucking 7 footer with a pretty good post game and decent outside shot. Lewis was a shooter, primarily. I'd say DMo has the potential to be a more well-rounded offensive player, but he's not a momentum swing waiting to happen like Lewis was. IF DMo reaches his prime, he might be a better overall player, but he'll never be a better offensive player.

That's the whole schedule by the way. No other games this year, because who needs them.

Its amazing how he never gave a fuck about 3s
Even as the league evolved
632 attempts in his career. 10 the past 2 combined

And not amazing cause hes a big, but because his stroke from midrange has always been good. And deeeeep 2s. But fuck 3's tho
