Even the top favorite for All-Star vote king, Hill, no one is comparing his strength with Anfernee Hardaway, only comparing talent and popularity.
In terms of strength and team achievement, this season, with O'Neal yet to return, Anfernee Hardaway has led the Magic to a 19-5 start, which is truly excellent. Today the Bulls lost, and the Magic's record tied with the Bulls while lying down!
Thus, Sports Illustrated didn't include the 1993 class of Anfernee Hardaway in the comparison options.
But even so, Zhang Hao being compared to Hill is a very intimidating situation—Grant Hill is almost the most successful rookie in the last decade, Rookie All-Star vote king! After his rookie season, he directly got a six-year, $34 million fat contract as a superstar rookie.
Is it the all-around cornerstone like Grant Hill, who seems to be able to do anything, or is it the versatile athletic shooter like Zhang Hao with clear specialties?
