    I'd say, not in a particular order,

    Curry
    Towns
    Davis
    Simmons
    Wiggins

    Curry's not exactly durable and he'll be 33 in 5 years.

    In 5 years from now Harden Green and George will be 31,Durant 32.5 and Curry 33.
    While I think its likely that Durants and Currys game will age well I hope that they will still not be top5 level players at that age because it would mean that the leagues talent has stagnated.

    My choices are Towns, Davis, Drummond, Giannis and Kawhi.
    In 5 years almost all of them will be in their prime. Barring injuries ofc.

    Towns & Leonard & Porzingis

    Probably Durant?
    Maybe Anthony Davis if you told me he could stay healthy.

    If Westbrook at age 32 with his gamestyle is a top5 or 6 or even top 20 player in the league I would be shocked.

    Lets get a thread going with all of these quotes about Simmons. Probably the same geniuses that were saying Curry would be out of the league by year 3 or 2nd round pick at best. Aaron Brooks is better. Curry will be eaten alive in the NBA.

    You either die the Steph Curry, or live long enough to see yourself become the Tyrus Thomas. But if Simmons is NBA 1st or 2nd team in 5 years I'll eat a candle. Either the long kind, like it's a popsicle, or the bottled kind, like it's ice cream.
