He played mostly as the initiator in college and is an excellent passer who entered the college game without a perimeter shot. I don't see the Hauser comp at all except for size and pigmentation.
His defense is what I wonder about as well. He looks pretty thin, so building some strength might be key to his progress.
Weird. Basketball Reference has him at 31.6
You’ve selected Showcase Cup. there’s a tab for regular season.
They have different makeups. Hauser is a shooter, Peterson has always been a distributor. It’s diffficult to make those changes and especially at a high level of competition.
Don't forget "tall". The fact that they are a couple of inches away from each other makes them easy to compare.
Except the article is filled with quotes from coaches in both Boston and Maine telling him to watch how Hauser made it. They aren’t carbon copies but the Celtics clearly see some similarities in their games.
Ha. Petersen has some nice height but looks thin.Don't forget "tall". The fact that they are a couple of inches away from each other makes them easy to compare.
I haven’t seen any of Petersen in Maine but in college he was a tall lanky point guard who could defend multiple positions and was a distributor, passive offensive player. Hauser was a spot-up lights out shooter without much creativity in his game. The can defens the same position but that’s kinda where the comp ends outside of pigmentation.
I think the comparisons are less about their style of play and more about coming in as an older/skilled player and trying to find a role.
To be fair maybe he has changed his game some as I don’t watch G-League unless I’m home w Covid and there is nothing else on TV at 2pm aside from a replay lol.
