"Darius Garland is playing at an All-Star level…an NBA Starter All-Star level."

DRAYMOND GREEN, GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS FORWARD

Shaquille O’Neal, TNT Analyst and NBA Legend

"The floater is a tough shot and when you have a guard shooting 80% off a floater, that’s a really good sign for your team. When I think of Garland who has a great floater, I would think of a guy like Tony Parker... his floater helped what San Antonio did back in the day and a lot of their championship are because of his shot."

Joakim Noah, Former NBA All-Star

"Darius Garland doesn’t have to take a backseat anymore. He is quick as lightning, he can get to the rim and has a nice mid-game and could shoot the three. He's extremely quick off the dribble."

Shannon Sharpe, ESPN Analyst and Former NFL Player

"The way Darius Garland is playing it compliments with Donovan Mitchell…they’re playing like both lead guards and taking the challenge to be that together which is very critical for them to get to the next level… these dudes are really good.."

Baron Davis, Former NBA All-Star

"They've been together for 2 years now, Donovan, DG, Mobley and Jarrett, like all them, they've been there, so they kind of know what their roles are and they're kind of clicking right now. So it's a tough team to play, tough team to beat."

Tyrese Maxey, Philadelphia 76ers Guard

"They're a good team. They're number one in the East for a reason. They got the best record for a reason. They're a good team, right, and they got the two towers down there (Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen), and how well Donovan and Darius are playing, they make it a tough matchup."

Paul George, Philadelphia 76ers Forward
