Star or bust?

[Rastapopoulos]

Which of these do you think will turn out to be a better-than-average starting-quality player, and which a bust? (Note that, obviously, you can vote more than once.)

Rubio is the only guy on that list I can see becoming a star.

A bust? I'll say Curry. He is the second most hyped guy on the list, and could wind up being the least successful at the NBA level.

Rubio is the only one whom I consider to have a good chance to be a star.

Holiday has big bust potential, IMO.

The rest of the players strike me as fairly ordinary...likely to be between reserves and decent starters.

I agree. What about Jennings...I see him as a bust as well.

There is no option for that, just like there's no option for appearances in a Nike commercial.

If you don't think that anyone will be a bust or a star then don't vote.

Rubio has star potential, Holliday strikes me as having pretty big bust potential based on his lackluster year at UCLA

I forgot him! You could do a second group of Jennings, Teague, Lawson, Maynor and Collison, but it wouldn't be quite as fun. Really I should have done two polls - one of star with all ten then another with bust and all ten.

But that's a lot of first-round PGs! And that doesn't even include Sergio Llull.

Not to mention I have seens at least a couple of workouts described amongst some of the ten PGs, and Holiday ALWAYS is mentioned as looking terrible. Normally that wouldn't matter, because a player has his college resume to fall back on, but Holliday...

(How many L's is it, anyway? Not as many as Llull, I'll bet.)

I voted all busts since there were only two options. I think Rubio will be a huge bust. Curry and Jennings will be below average, while Evans and Holiday will not be busts, but not stars either.
