… which is something I don’t normally do — and if I’m not here tomorrow, I’m likely off in a quiet place wondering why this always happens to Cleveland — I think I found an acceptable, though perhaps underwhelming comparison for Devin Ebanks. It’s Lakers forward Trevor Ariza.

Ariza’s 6-8, 210, Ebanks is 6-9, 205 and as best as I can tell, they’re similarly skilled. Ariza is a defensive forward who rebounds and gets to the basket, but is also a good passer and, when left alone, can hit the 3. Ditto for Ebanks.

So while watching the NBA playoffs, I asked aloud one thing, “Why does Ariza remind me so much of Ebanks?”

Reply: “Because they look exactly alike?”

I agree.
