Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey is throwing around comparisons like it's his job, though the accuracy might not be on point.

According to MassLive's Jay King, Casey thinks Jared Sullinger is a lot like a certain Celtics player.

"He gives us the same thing (Al) Horford gives the Celtics," Casey said.

Horford, a four-time All-Star center, has started 12 games for the Celtics this season, putting up 15 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in 32.4 minutes.

Meanwhile, Sullinger has been on the sidelines with an injured foot for the entire season, his first with Toronto after spending four in Boston.

Aside from the inevitable face palm GIFs that followed, several folks chimed in on Twitter to give their assessments of Casey's words.

Okay, Dwane.
