NBA/rising college/foreign player would you want for the next five years...

Hey, man.
I'm doing my part by pulling for the Habs in the playoffs.
Get off my case.

 

Wade averages 33-6-7 and shoots 56% from the floor against the Celtics in the playoffs and still just a little love.

 

This.

 

Sergio Llull. Not because I know anything about his game, but because he's got five letters in his last name, four of which are L's, and only one of which is a vowel.

 

He spends seasons with Patrick Ewing and hasn't learned shit.

 

I take LeBron and keep it moving.


29, 8 assists and 8 rebounds per game doesn't lie. And I'm willing to bet he'll improve on those numbers.

@ Spirited and FB,

I don't know how you guys can say that Dirk's legs are older than his body. He's scoring like he was at 25. As for his lack of defense and rebounding? Well, when has he ever done that. People go in different patterns. I bet three years ago anyone would've thought Grant Hill would be done by now. Is he done? Not so much

 

Grant Hill is a role player, not a star.
Dirk is an old 32 and will probably wear down considerably within the next five years. I'd take him for a year or two, but no more than that.

 

That's because "Get the ball on the left side of the key, take four steps to the right and throw the ball at the rim in a lazy hook-type shot" isn't a good post move.

 

But spinning elbow, travel and dunk is.

 

At least he has learned to dunk and not flip up a lame finger-roll.

He will not, however, learn to win a NBA title from Patrick.

 

I'd take Durant, narrowly over LeBron.

 

Patrick, though, was a deadly mid range shooter later in his career.

The best coaches normally are the players who could barely play at the level of their coaching success.
