These are a few guys that I myself are pretty high on, just wanted to know your guys opinions on them..
Stars? Starters? Role Player? All Star?
What do you think?

Anthony Morrow
Danilo Gallinari
DeAndre Jordan
Ryan Anderson
Greg Monroe
 

What do you think of these guys?

 Morrow seems like a solid 6th or 7th man to me, he’s the best pure shooter in the NBA to me, and he can hit pullups if his man closes too hard. He doesn’t bring much out of the ordinary to the table outside of that, but he is as nice a jump shooter as you’ll find in the game to me.

Gallinari would make a nice 3rd or 4th option, depending on the team, for a contender. He has always been a nice scorer with a nice shot and underrated athleticism, and he’s a decent rebounder with size and strength. He’s a bit stiff laterally on D though, which always will limit him.

Jordan will be what he is now. A 4th or 5th option when he’s on the floor who makes wow plays with his size and athleticism, blocks shot, rebounds decent, and doesn’t create alot for himself or others. A lite Tyson Chandler kind of.

Anderson is best suited to be a 4th option when he’s on the floor. He’s a 6’10 jump shooter with strength who rebounds. Not an athlete, shot creator, or defender really.

Monroe at best is a 3rd option who can score on the block, hit mid-range, or make passes out of the post. He’s not a great athlete or defender, but he’s very savvy for a young big man, a good rebounder, and his touch down low is real good. You can run offense through him alot, for himself and his teammates, and thats valuable and an accomplishment for a 2nd year big.

Anthony Morrow – Probably a 7th man, not someone I’d start but he’s someone I’d bring in to spread the floor that can get hot in a hurry.  One of the purest strokes in the league but the fact that he does nothing else but shoot means I wouldn’t want him as my starter.  He could be a possible 6th man but I would want my 6th man to do a bit more than just shoot treys.

Danilo Gallinari – I think he can probably be a 2nd option on a team.  He’s really improving to the point that he’s not a jump shooter anymore, he’s starting to run on this Nuggets team and is driving in a lot more.  He’s shooting nearly 6 free throws a game meaning he’s getting to the rim more than he has in his career.  He’s also shooting at a high percentage because he’s taking the ball to the rim more often.  I’m really high on this kid.  Only 23 and he continues to improve, he and Lawson are the future of the Nuggets, if they both decide to stay.

DeAndre Jordan – He’s always going to be a 5th option offensively when he’s on the floor.  Good defensive presence and that’s probably all he’ll be for his career.  Especially if he continues to play next to Blake Griffin where he does not need to improve any post moves because he’ll simply dunk off of doubles.  He’s a starter for sure though, on nearly any team except those with All-Star centers. (ORL, LAL, MEM, UTA)

Ryan Anderson – Good 4th option, especially when paired with Dwight.  I’m not sure if he could continue to score like this without Dwight because of all the attention he receives.  I mean, c’mon, Dwight made Rashard Lewis look like a possible All-Star at times.  Other than hitting threes and rebounding here and there, I don’t think Anderson can create for himself or take over a game.  Possibly a Troy Murphy type of player.  He’d be a perfect fit for the Thunder.  They would love to have a power forward to stretch the floor coming off the bench.

Greg Monroe – I actually think he can be a 2nd option.  He’s a pretty good offensive player and rebounder.  Obviously a good passer as well and he can be a go-to-guy on a team like the Pistons that doesn’t have a true 1st option.  It’s going to be fun watching Monroe and Knight in the future since both of them are having great seasons considering their ages.  I always compared him to Pau Gasol coming out of college and so far, he seems to be on his way.

I think Monroe has the potential to be a really really good player, probably a 2nd option type scorer, but I predicted he would be the 2nd best player in his respective draft class. I think he can be a Pau Gasol type of player with a solid mid range game, good post footwork, and really good passer out of the post.

I’ve only seen him play twice so far this season, idk why but he looks like he is in pain when he is running. Its akward but he still gets it done and his numbers are impressive.

Gallinari I think is at his best right now, I dont think he is a 20ppg scorer but I think he’ll always be good for anything between 13 and 17 ppg.

Jordan is overrated in my opinion. He is a nice player but people who say he is a top 10 center or even a really good defensive center have me lost. I get that he is good shotblocker and probably one of the most exciting defensive players, but I really don’t see his defense as being elite. But he is definitly servicable in a league short on competent Centers.

 Anthony Morrow would be nothing more than a role player a " spark " off the bench. I don’t see him being more. He can shoot the ball good but isnt great at creating his own shot. I do t see him cracking the starting line up, not if Marshon Brooks gets better and that’s a definite.

Danillo Galinari Is going to be a solid player, he will be a starter for a long time. I don’t see him fading when it comes to his skills. He is a good scorer and knows where to be at all times.

Deandre Jordan is a good player with a lot of potential, he’s only going to get better and on top of that he’s playing with one of the best PGs in the game. He is in a good position to be a starter for years to come. I don’t see him becoming an all star but he definitely will be a starter for a while.

Ryan Anderson…….. Role player

Greg Monroe starter definitely a starter this guy may even be an all star some day. I like his game he can score the ball in the post Nd can get you 10 rebs a game. A definite double double guy, he has a bright future ahead of him.

TOL-23 pretty much nailed it.

You should never have a player on the floor with worse offensive skills then Jordan so he is a 5th option. Although his defensive presence and rebounding abillities are much needed by any NBA team. A great thing about him is he will hurt your body and hurt your feelings on the same dunk. Somebody setting the tone in the paint physically and mentally is very important in this sport. I read alot of threads with posters saying he is premiere or will be at the Center position. I dont think so but he is a very valuable role asset that not many teams in the NBA have. Poor mans Howard.
