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

I want the two people who voted for Brandon Jennings to defend the pick.

Nice player, but c'mon...

 

I am suprised Paul and Williams have not seen too much attention.

 

I don't think that's any more egregious than Brandon Roy not being mentioned at all.

 

Both Williams and Paul are in the top three of their position. Roy doesn't even sniff the top three at his. Not saying he's a horrible player, but not on the same level as a Williams or Paul.

 

Roy's a very good player, but he's no candidate to be THE guy in the NBA over the next 5 years.

But, then, the same could be said for at least half the selections 93Devil threw up there. There's really only about 5 or 6 guys who really need to be included there--Lebron, Durant, Wade, Howard and maybe a point guard from the Williams/Paul/Rose group. Any choice made outside that group is fairly indefensible on the facts. I don't even consider Kobe to be a candidate for this because of his age.

 

I'll add Roy if it really will make people happy. I had to draw the line somewhere.

 

Probably the third best player in that draft and he went 10th. Not horrible.

 

That says more about the draft than him. Roy's a nice player, but he's second tier status, and maybe even third. Too injury prone and seems to be really good at everything, but not really great at anything.
