Last one is interesting because the physical measurements are almost identical. And I can also see the play style. Both relying heavily on their outside shot. With 3PAr in the high 0.40s or 0.50s. Both with a mediocre first step. Leading to a low volume of drives and shots at the rim. Also mediocre/bad percentages in the paint.
I think Beal is a way better athlet than both.
The real problem with players finishing at the rim is strength, body control and touch. It´s not size exclusively. JJB could finish plays while flying clotheslined by seven foot scumbags. Others take minimal contact/distractions and their lay-up attempts fly into the 1st row (Green/Ntilikina). That´s the problem I see with Hardy´s finishing.
