He said something like, "he's as close to Lebron as we've had". I just don't get the comparison at all.
He probably just meant in the type of player Purifoy is. Both are athletic stretch forwards that can handle the ball and shoot
Purifoy is 6'7" 230
Lebron is 6'8" 250
Now that I've heard some context to the quote it doesn't sound like Pearl is saying Purifoy is the next Lebron or our Lebron or anything like that, just that he can play a similar role in our lineup position wise because he's in the same mold.

Heron is the better player of the two.
Obviously, but Heron is better because of his basketball IQ. I think Purifoy is more athletic and physically has a higher ceiling. But I don't think Purifoy has what it takes mentally to ever reach that potential.

KT Harrell was a better player than both Heron/Purifoy but he didn't have NBA talent.
As Bowl pointed out, Bruce didn't say Purifoy was Lebron but simply he fit that mold of PF who has the ability to play like a SG/SF
From a talent perspective, Purifoy is the most likely to become a NBA lottery pick on this team
