Better comparisons for Acy than Reggie Evens?

Totally agree with you WJF, that the Evans comparisons are shallow.
I like the Pops comparison as well, but one thing that seems to stick out about Acy is his character and I didn't get that from Pops. I don't know much about the character of Carl Landry but he seems like a good comparison but lacks Acy's explosiveness.
I love finding comparisons for these guys at this point in the year, but find it hard to find matches... I guess, as they say, that every person is unique.“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”

I like Acy compared to a mix of JYD/Evans/Pops. A fringe player with lots of heart & hustle, who rebounds despite his size and leaves it all on the court. A tweener who's too unathletic to be a pure SF and too small to be a pure PF. A player who gives you more than you expect him to, but less than you'd like him to.

His legs were so skinny, it looked like they would snap with each step, but the guy made rebounding/shot blocking look so effortless. Had a nice elbow jumper too.

Oh man, I'm glad no one posted this as a comparison yet:
Luc Mbah a Moute.
Reasoning. Bit of a tweener, but really only because he's an undersized PF. Hardly a polished game, but doesn't try to do things he can't, so he's pretty efficient for a limited player. Rebounds the ball well. Uses his athleticism to his advantage. Great motor. Not a good FT shooter, but tolerable for a rotation big suited to being a backup...
Still not sure where Acy's going to get playing time, but for some reason I see his game resembling Mbah a Moute's.
