Wait a minute, all I did is say he looks to be a player in that mold, not that he was one now.

However, you probably didn't see the last game, where Andre had the opportunity to lead a fast break. He drove down the center of the lane, ala Magic Johnson, brought the ball around his body twice, before dishing off to (I think Kyle Korver) for the layup.
The thing is, all those other players came into the league with a lot of noise surrouding them, and they were all offensive players. They were scorers that developed into consumate team players, and they all had the ability to take over a game by themselves.
Andre is a team player first and foremost, most players don't ever develop that kind of selfless team play and this kid is a natural. I haven't seen him take over a game by himself yet, but that's really hard to do, when you're running with Allen Iverson, who does take over games on occaisssion.
Just watch him in the playoffs, and see how he plays defence, creates turnovers and gets out on the break. IF he starts gettting breakaway dunks, Detroit will be in trouble. The reason they win is they play slow ball, outrebound their opponenets and control the game, I expect they will have trouble controlling the temp against the Sixers.
