I did forget Pau And like I said about the guys you listed, if you read my entire bookpost, I did say they had potential if their play continues to trend up. Now, Walker, Derozan, and Marc Gasol are running out of time and pretty doubtful, probably even Kevin Love. But those young studs got an "E" because it's early, but they're trending upwards. Let's take Embiid for example. Let's say he made the playoffs and took the Celtics to 6 or 7 next year. That'd be just like watching a series of the '86 Bulls going up against the Celtics or Pistons back then. A young HOFer. Nobody would've called MJ a Hall of Famer then, but I think you could've see he had potential and was trending upwards. That's the point I was referencing with the "E" Please don't misconstrue, I read your whole post. I just find the P tag is very presumptuous and the E tag ridiculous, especially after only one season. Don't ridicule it and not participate. Show me your list Obviously I'm being incredibly optimistic trying to pinpoint a HOF on every team if their career ends up in the best case scenario. Some are a little optimistic, sure. I wouldn't be surprised if half the guys I named don't make the HOF, but the shocker is how many teams have guys with zero chance right now. Devin Booker for example got an E, while the entire Magic team has zero guys that could potentially make the Hall. That's very optimistic for Booker, but also downright embarrassing for Orlando.

Guys I see in the HOF: LeBron Durant Westbrook Kawhi Dirk Manu TP Truth Pau Dwight Howard (yes, THAT Dwight Howard) CP3 Melo Steph Wade That's it Paul George and James Harden are knocking at the door, but I need to see it for longer. Rondo just misses the cut due to the terrible second-half of his career. Nobody else has the body of work to even speculate. And before you start talking about how they're playing now turning into longterm success, think about Derrick Rose, Tyreke Evans, Richard Jefferson, Al Jefferson, Brandon Roy, Brook Lopez, Deron Williams, Gilbert Arenas, and LaMarcus Aldridge. These are all guys we would've handed the keys to at one point, but something like injury, arrogance, or low ceiling prevent them from going the distance. To even use Embiid and HOF in the same sentence is extremely speculative until we're closer to the end of the book.

Bbills - what do you think about the Celts rolling the dice and bringing up Yabusele? Might not be a bad idea if he has a good Summer League showing.

Vids of this Zizic kid are pretty impressive, too. He's got a quick step going to his off-hand. If Yabusele loses weight, he could be a Draymond clone and Zizic looks like another Gasol.

If I'd done this list in 2012, DRose would've gotten a P because he'd just won an MVP. At that time, his stock was rising towards the HOF if he'd continued this type of play for the good chunk of his career. He'd just won an MVP and showed no signs of slowing down. Would it have been early to say that? Of course. But I'm talking absolute best case scenario with these E's and P's. Anybody could get knee injuries and end up like T-Mac, Penny, or Grant Hill.

You draft Fultz. He has legitimate star potential. Nobody knows much about him because he played on the West Coast. He's an offensive stud that can shoot both spot-up and off the dribble. He can finish with either hand and has above average ball handling for his position. Not to mention his size that makes him able to play the 1 or a combo guard at the 2. If IT is the man, Fultz will be a compliment even as a rookie. I also don't know if adding any one piece in FA makes them an instant contender. Fultz could the future that leads them into legit contention. Especially with Jaylen Brown and next year's pick. To me, they've got a Spurs thing going where they're a good team right now and building within to be even better in the future. Not to mention, It is 28, and Horford is 30. This is the best they're gonna be, but they could be contributors for Fultz in a few years. I'd take Fultz. No way I want crazy ass Lavar anywhere around my franchise. Celtics should probably just build for the future tbh. No one is winning anything until that GS group is out of their prime. Trade the midget, build around Fultz, next years high pick, and whatever nice young players you get for the midget. Profit

I don't like seeing that PG13 didn't make All-NBA, but his main source of competition for a spot was Jimmy Butler and the stat-comparison is pretty incredible. I can't argue that they didn't make the right choice. Player | Age | G | GS | MP | FG | FGA | FG% | 3P | 3PA | 3P% | 2P | 2PA | 2P% | eFG% | FT | FTA | FT% | ORB | DRB | TRB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | PF | PTS |
---|
Jimmy Butler | 27 | 76 | 75 | 37.0 | 7.5 | 16.5 | .455 | 1.2 | 3.3 | .367 | 6.3 | 13.2 | .477 | .492 | 7.7 | 8.9 | .865 | 1.7 | 4.5 | 6.2 | 5.5 | 1.9 | 0.4 | 2.1 | 1.5 | 23.9 | Paul George | 26 | 75 | 75 | 35.9 | 8.3 | 18.0 | .461 | 2.6 | 6.6 | .393 | 5.7 | 11.4 | .501 | .533 | 4.5 | 5.0 | .898 | 0.8 | 5.8 | 6.6 | 3.3 | 1.6 | 0.4 | 2.9 | 2.7 | 23.7 |
Jimmy Butler is better. If the Bulls trade him it'll be yet another mistake from GarPax.
