Now:
Hibbert or Monroe
Favors or Cousins
Granger or Iguodala
George or Turner
Wall or Curry
Irving or Rubio
Brooks or Thornton
Deng or Gay
Anderson or Bargnani
Mcgee or Jordan
Lin or Knight
Three years:
Hibbert or Monroe
Favors or Cousins
Granger or Iguodala
George or Turner
Wall or Curry
Irving or Rubio
Brooks or Thornton
Deng or Gay
Anderson or Bargnani
Mcgee or Jordan
Lin or Knight
Monroe - I see him as a 20/10 guy in a couple of years
Favors - crazy potential, very mature
Granger - hard choice but he wont be shooting 37,5% for a long time so I see him as a 20-22ppg scorer with nith defense.
Turner - just give him the starting spot and consistent 30-35mpg. a wont be even a bit surprised with seeing him averaging 20/7/7
Wall - more room to develop.
Irving - better potential, has the full package.
Brooks - both are nice scorers but Brooks is for sure a better defender.
Gay - I'm surprised that he isnt averaging over 20ppg. Nice shoot, elite athleticism. I would his offensive potential over Deng defense.
Bargniani - Much better scorer, not only a strech 4 as Anderson. Just pair him with a defensive and good rebounding center to cover his weaknesses.
Jordan - Basketball IQ the issue here.
Lin - I'm just impressed by him, he just needs to keep it up.
Monroe now and in three years
Cousins now and in three years
Iguodala now, Granger in three years
Turner now and in three years
Curry now, Wall in three years (Tough decision)
Irving now and in three years
Meh, neither but if I had to choose, Thornton just because he can really pour it in occasionally
Rudy Gay now and in three years
Bargnani now and in three years
Jordan now, McGee in three years (Hopefully he gets more BBall I.Q.)
Lin now, Knight in 3
Hibbert or Monroe
Favors or Cousins
Granger or Iguodala
George or Turner - this one was TOUGH
Wall or Curry
Irving or Rubio
Brooks or Thornton
Deng or Gay
Anderson or Bargnani
Mcgee or Jordan - same skill set just higher IQ
Lin or Knight
Monroe: Now and in three years. Hibbert is playing well now, especially on the boards compared to last year, but it took him 4 years to get here.. he is entering his peak years right now, so who know how much more he will improve?Monroe is 4 years younger and is more talented on offense. Three years from now Hibbert is 28 and Monroe is one year younger than Hibbert is right now.
Cousins: Especially after watching him tonight. Honestly I didn't see it in Favors coming into the draft, and I havn't seen what everyone was excited about much since. I am sure they will both be a lot better in 3 years, but Cousins will still be the better of the two.
Iguodala: For now, but Granger in three years. Love both players, I just think that granger is a better jumpshooter and that will allow him to keep his scoring up as his athleticism dwindles (both will be 31 in 3).
George: Another though one... Turner has made great strides forward this year and has proven that he can still get close to his potential. But George is big, athletic, has a smooth shot, and can play great D. When he gets stronger he will be able to guard 2-4. I'll take that in three years.
Curry: Wall may be the better player in three years. He is the fastest with the ball, but I am not sure how great of a leader he is. Curry will make his team win as long as his ankles dont shatter.
Rubio: I am biased b/c I hate duke, but i gotta get my euro-spanish marketshare on this imaginary team!
Thornton: Thorton for now b/c he is better right now, and Brooks is hurt, But i think Brooks will be better in 3. I was screaming for the knicks to draft him but they took shumpert instead(which made sense when they still had chauncey).At least they didn't pick singleton like all the NYC fans wanted!
Deng: right now Great comp! I think Deng is better in a team situation but rudy is the better offensive player. In three years it is whomever has not had a horrible injury.
Bargnani: Is this Ryan Anderson or Anderson varejo? I am guessing ryan because he is comped with Bargnani. Honestly I dont think there is much debate here its Bargnani now (if he were healthy) and in three years too. Bargnani is just better on offense. Anderson benefits from having dwight around him. If Bargnani played for the magic he would be an alstar this year... unlike Andeson.
Jordan: Both are phenominal athletes, but Jordan has found his role while Mcgee is still learning. I think they are even closer in three years (McGee might be better), but I still take Jordan.
