Top 10 players from this draft 5 years from now

[Blazer4ever]

Only of the players I saw:
Lonzo Ball
Caleb Swanigan
Markelle Fultz
Zach Collins
Justin Jackson
DeAron Fox
Bam Adebayo
Carmelo Tatum
Justin Bell
What's his name the free flowing SF, don't think it was Jackson, maybe Monk
No I think it was Isaac
Josh Jackson
The skinny tall frenchman
Johan Bolden

 

[Scalma]

He averaged 4.6 points a game. In the Australian league. Don't get the hype.

He was fresh out of high school playing against grown men in a foreign environment. I wouldn't put too much stock into those stats. A great example is Brandon Jennings. He went to Italy after high school and put up a pretty atrocious season. Averaged something like 5ppg but still ended up being a lottery pick, started all 82 games, and was first team all rookie.

I'm going to say Isaac puts it together in year 2 or 3 and becomes KD light......for the Blazers.

1. Isaac
2. Tatum
3. Jackson
4. Z Collins
5. Monk
6. Fox
7. Fultz
8. Patton
9. Justin Jackson
10. Ferguson is my long shot because i like him.

@TBpup and I thought a good topic would be who the 10 best players fro this draft will be 5 years down the road. Don't have to worry about team needs or what other people think just who will be the best players.

We did a video talking about it



If you don't want to watch here is both our lists. This could be a great great bump thread 5 years from now.

I'm going to bet that two foreign players are going to be in that top ten. Don't ask me which two, because I haven't been paying attention. But it's impossible to compare them with college guys until they get to the NBA.

 

[South East]

Where is the fun in that...have to take a guess so we can all look back and see how wrong we were.

Your not very high on Ball?

Your not very high on Ball?

To me I think he will have his problems on defense staying in front of guys. Offense if he doesn't get stronger I believe he will have trouble getting to the rim and I really don't like his shot. He shoot alright if he has space but these veteran point guard might not give him that space. You got look how many great PG that is in the NBA and if he does get drafted by the Lakers he will face some of the best PG in this league. Look even how great Dame is he can't even get all star bid in the west. So for him to be the player that he thinks he is, than he need to get in the gym and work for it if not he never get there in this league. He only had 1 workout and he came in out of shape especially the team he wants to play for the Lakers. That show me that he thinks they going to handed it to him without working. Don't be suprise that he falls in next week draft.

For his size, I think he needs to be quicker. Also, he's great in transition but not nearly as good in the half court. Also, he weighed in at 162 lbs which means he is going to get pushed around and the more physical nature of the pro game will hamper him IMO.
