    Interesting group of names…

    I’d go with Griffin though. That’s the obvious choice. He’s already an elite player at his position while still having so much more to grow.

    In the right situation Barnes is a beast and Griffin is THE BEAST

    As far as potentially being the best player of those players, I would say Griffin and Wall are well ahead of everybody. But, the most potential as far as improving, or someone with more to add to their game to take it to the next level, than I think Harrison Barnes and Derrick Favors enter the discussion. Kyrie Irving and Derrick Williams might be further along than the previous two, but could still grow quite a bit. But of those players, Griffin and Wall seem to be the closest to being locks amongst the elite. Otherwise, this is just kind of a thrown together list of young players who all have potential, but it is hard to rate potential. You could rate the players on who might become the best in due time, but it is difficult to do this as we do not know the situations of the undrafted players to this point.

     With much more consistent playing time and overall development I believe Jordan Crawford can take that next step. He has already proven to be a capable scorer in the Association.

    It is definitely between Blake, Wall, and Barnes in my mind. I say Barnes because look at how awful he was at the beginning of the year. Now he has turned into one of, if not the, best players in the country. He plays defense and knocks down shots, he’s been a consistent leader for the Tar Heels.. I think he’ll be a great pro and has more potential to grow into an elite NBA player. I think he can become a 25 ppg, 7 rpg, and 4 apg kinda guy if he works hard in his first couple years to develop and adjust to the faster game. Obvious reasons for Blake and Wall too. There’s a lot of room to grow for both of them. I really look forward to more of the those matchups between the Clips and Wizards. Their last game against each other was nuts!

    I’d say Wall just cuz if he can learn to run a team, and polish his offensive game, he could be one of the greatest players ever.

    This is such a strange thread.  Some of the guys your listed have pretty much reached their potential.  Eric Gordon is already a beast in the league, same with Griffin.  I think DeRozan will improve next year and will be averaging at least 20 a game.

    Yeah, I think the obvious choice is Blake with Wall come in second.
