Peyton Siva

[colin]

What do you think about this freshman from Louisville? He's a quick PG and has got hops, he has a deadly mid-range jumper too. He reminds me of Derrick Rose. Is this guy better than Romeo Miller?

1. wrong section
2. lmao at comparing him to Romeo.....he'd kill Romeo.
3. how is he Derrick Rose? when Rose can't shoot.

sorry i didn't see the NCAA section. its so small. Rose can shoot, he just doesn't. And for Romeo, i asked that to give me a good idea on how good Romeo actually is, so you say he would kill Romeo, now i know that Romeo is actually shiit compared to other PG's... I wonder why i never anything good come from that dude.

Romeo is trash, wasn't he a 2 out of 5 stars recruit out of High school? Plus, USC really just signed him to get Derozan....

LMAO! too busy working out on his body rather than his game.

I love Peyton Siva's game already.

He's listed at around 5'11'' or 6', but I think he's closer to 5'9'' or 5'10'' myself. Plus, dude is no more than 170lbs.

But, Peyton is lightning quick, and absolutely fearless. He has no fear of driving through the lane and getting knocked around by the big boys. And the hops? Spectacular. Not only can he jump really, really high, he also jumps really fast too. Peyton is also a very dangerous scorer, with range well beyond the NCAA 3 point line. Despite that, though, he's a true point, always trying to set up his teammates for open shots.

On top of all the talent, Siva is also just a good kid. He's smart, humble, approachable, and willing to learn. Normally, kids with his talent level go to a school for one year and start counting the days to the draft at the start of the semester. There's no doubt in my mind that Peyton has the talent of a one and done, but he's committed to sticking with Louisville for the next 3 to 4 years.

As far as comparisons go, Peyton reminds me a lot of another Seattle guy; Nate Robinson. Just without all of the bullsh*t.

Siva has the chance to be special, real special. He has the chance to be the best player Louisville has seen since Darrell Griffith, which is saying an awful lot. He also has the chance to be a very special pro in the future.

Check out Peyton's highlights in the exhibition Louisville just played...



Yep, I have a man crush.

Great kid.
Reminds me of a slightly lessed skilled Isaiah Thomas from UW.

No it was definitely Derozan, he was on P. Miller's AAU teams and all that, good friend of Romeo's.. so they offered Romeo a scholarship along with Derozan to lure him to USC..

This Peyton Siva, he looks like a good prospect. It's early to predict his future, I mean he kinda reminded me of Dominic James a little bit, who had a GREAT freshman year but look how he ended up.. I hope all the best for Siva tho.
That reverse putback was amazing no matter what.
