    There are a lot of young studs with tons of potential in the league now. Here is what I think wil be the All NBA teams in say 2006. I am only including players that are under 25 right now and are in the NBA.
    1st team
    C-Tim Duncan(He is already a top 3 player now)
    F-Kevin Garnett(See Tim Duncan)
    F-Vince Carter(He'll learn to play D)
    G-Kobe Bryant(I have to admit it, he is ridiculously talented)
    G-Steve Francis(He is impossible to guard)
    2nd team(No center because there is a lack of great young centers in teh league right now)
    F-Jonathan Bender(He is going to be a monster)
    F-Lamar Odom(Mr. Versatility)
    F-Tracy Mcgrady(Some say he is as good of dunker as Vince)
    G-Allen Iverson(How many scoring titles will he win by 2006?)
    G-Stephon Marbury(Him and Francis will go at it for years)
    3rd team(Again, no center)
    F-Stromile Swift(Super athletic)
    F-Darius Miles(He has a ton of potential)
    F-Antawn Jamison(He is starting come on)
    G-Deshawn Stevenson(Word is that he should have been in the lottery)
    G-Larry Hughes(Will become a big time scorer)
    If I left someone out, don't hesitate to tell me. I know I left out Rashard Lewis. I was thinking of either putting Rashard or Stromile and I chose Stromile.
    If you don't agree with these teams, tell me who you'd rather have.

    Other young players that I think may be or already are stars are Andre Miller, Bonzi Wells, Kenyon Martin, Tim Thomas, Paul Pierce, maybe Jason Williams, Keith Van Horn, Corey Maggette, Elton Brand, Shawn Marion, Baron Davis, Mike Bibby, Michael Dickerson, Courtney Alexander, and Dirk Nowitzki. I just realized I forgot Shareef Abdur-Rahim on my All NBA teams, he would be on the 2nd team .

    I would do anything to get Lamar Odom over here. Now that fool is going to be a player. Of course not as good as our Francis, but damn, Lamar might be a younger and (dare I say it) better version of Grant Hill.

    Johnaton Bender - Could someone explain this?

    Wasn't he playing behind Austin Croshere?

    I have not seen him even get on the court
    how he get to be second team?
    Is this another 'Potential' thing?

    I think actual comes before potential

    Rocket River, I think thats what the point of this thread is, to judge and measure the players' potential. Not where they are now, but where they are in 5 years. Which is potential.

    Yeah this is about Potential, the P word...since a lot of young studs have been coming in the league lately, and it takes a while for them to develop. I was wondering what you guys thin about which studs will be the big stars when they fully develop.
    HUGE, Mobes should be there, but he isn't under 25, and Rasheed isn't under 25 either. I think Mobes is exactly 25 right now.
