2010/2011 Prospects: Best/Worst Case Scenarios

nice list

wheres the elias harris love though

i thought i was the only one who thinks wesley johnson plays like scottie pippen and the evan turner penny hardawaay was a good compariosn both are good ball handlers,passers and finishers in the paint penny played some point guard i think evan turner can be a point gurd in the nba dude is so talented he can play any position on the court and penny hardaway is an underrated player

Overall I think you did a good job with this.  I can tell you actually put some thought into it.  A lot of these are right on the $$$..nice work

A couple things I didn’t like:

I don’t think Stanley Robinson will ever be as good as Gerald Wallace.  His ceiling isn’t that high.  Robinson can’t score 19 points a game in the NBA, I just don’t see that ever happening.  

Jerome Jordan can be better than Chris Anderson.  I’m telling you right now Jordan is a very underrated prospect.  Everybody will find that out when the draft occurs.  Most people just haven’t seen him play enough. There is a reason Tulsa is so solid & will probably win Conference USA this year.

Hopson can (& I think WILL) be quite a bit better than Nick Young. I know a lot people on here like Nick Young but he hasn’t really done anything his whole career so far in the NBA.  Hopson is one of those scary prospects that can be GREAT.  His best case scenario needs to be compared to a better player.

Wesley Johnson to pippen

Pippen was a great passer, not sure Wesley can come close in that regard. But I can somewhat see the comparison

yeah hopson reminds me of an athletic joe johnson gatorheels without he playmaking skills hopspn still young so he can develop playmaking skills

worst ase for most players are worst then what you listed alot some will be out of the leauge and other wont even get much time

Wall will be way way better than Francis ever was.

yea it was a good list but John Wall’s best case scenario is way better than steve francis. His ceiling is like a more athletic Jason Kidd, with less passing.

John Wall = Micheal Ray Richardson?

John Wall=John Wall

John Wall’s best case should be D-Wade

Avery Bradley to Shannon Brown is actually an outstanding comparison to me

Scotty Hopson’s best case is J.R. Smith

Craig Brackins best case is Shareef Abdul-Rahim and his worst case is Channing Frye

Lance Stephenson’s best case is Paul Pierce or maybe even Ron Artest

William Buford’s best case is Von Wafer

Willie Warren’s best case is Monta Ellis

Trevon Hughes best case is Mario Chalmers

“I know the John Wall to Steve Francis comparison wasn’t the best ”

Nah, man that is a very good comparison…its just that John Wall has a different mentality than Francis…Francis never reached his full potential because his attitude held him back, Wall has the best mindset any young player can possibly have.

Rashad is better than Nick though.

you are underating DeMarcus Cousins and you all might think I’m crazy but I believe he could be as good as the great Hakeem Olajuwon he will be one of the best to ever play the game.

He can do so much in just 20 minutes per game and his 40 minute stats are about 33ppg 18rpg 4bpg.

Kemba Walker reminds me of Kyle Lowry… and honestly I think Lowry is better than TJ Ford…

And I like the Steve Francis comparison, I’ve been saying his body and game is similar… Also kinda like Baron Davis. But yea Wall has a winners mentality (so far). I dont think Davis always has that and I know Francis didn’t either.

And honestly, I think all these players ceilings and worst cases are larger than you stated. I think a lot of what was posted is safe. Consider this, Wall has elite athleticism and drive to win (so far). Couldn;t he be potentially better than Francis?

As for Motiejunas, I cant find much video on him on the internet (and I doubt any of you can either) so I dont think its fair to even judge his ceiling and worst case.

And on that note, its ultimately most important to not get wrapped up in comparisons. These players are all totally unique psychologically, physically, spiritually, and genetically.

I think someone said, John Wall=John Wall haha EXACTLY

John Wall is across between D-Rose, D-Wade, Rondo and Kidd. Somewhere in all that you have John Wall.

monroe will go in the top 5..cousins had the chance to be great if he returns to kentucky another year..evan turner plays like sidney moncrief..moncrief was 1 of the top guards in the early 80′..jeeeezz gabbycb3 a/k/a dr. phil..lol..u know nutting bout basketball…no way is francis in the same conversation as wall…francis was a hot dog…yeah he had some good years with houston..but that trade to orlando really killed him inside..and he never was the same…wall has iverson’s attitude..magic’s court vision & jordan’s athleticism…people will be talkin bout him 30 years from now….and no way is lowry better than t.j. ford..lowery is and always will be a backup…if ford can hit the outside shot and play better defense he’ll become an allstar..

Armon Johnson- Raymond Felton/ Jarett Jack

Maybe i’m wrong but i would say they are about the same skill level. Also if he ever got a consistant 3 he would be better than either.

I finally read it. Overall I guess your comparisons are pretty good, and you must of spent mad time doing research, should apply this school wise. But to all the Francis HATERS out there, Youtube him and you’ll see what he’s all about. Wall’s athletic and good, but we won’t know anything about him until he steps on a NBA court. Greg Monroe compared to DC is actually pretty good, never thought of that, but a Hoya compared to an Orangeman? tsk tsk. I see him as almost developing into a Chris Bosh type of player though. For some reason, I also see Wes Johnson, becoming Danny Granger.

I didnt say Francis wasnt athletic as Walls..Stevie could ball..I’m saying he’s not as talented as J.W..Never seen 2 stars fade as fast as Francis & Marbury did…
