    Eddie Curry. He actually seems to have some ability in the post.

    Andrei Kirilenko, but since you did not put him up there I picked Tony Parker. I picked him because he allways steps up in the big games and his shot has realy gotten good.

    I voted Amare, but I think Curry is real close because of his athleticism at that size. Kwame could be a damn fine player too.

    Actually Richard Jefferson is already 22, Yao Ming is younger than him.

    Eddy Curry could develop to be unstoppable in the paint.
    After a year or two, we need to find a new nickname for "baby"-shaq.

    You are absolutely right. I miscalculated his age. My bad.

    I voted for Eddy Curry as well. He can be absolutely unstoppable once he figures out how to stay on the court. And he is actually younger than Amare.

    I also like Kwame, and I think that he has a chance to develop now that Jordan is gone.

    Toss up between Curry and Amare.
    Curry showed he can be solid in the paint, but i'd like to see him play more against western teams before giving him 2 thumbs up.
    Amare is and will be a solid player. But nothing more.
    Yao Ming is and will be a star player.

    Curry might become a good scorer in the paint, but he can't rebound or block shots. Kind of sounds like a 7 foot Mo Taylor! Agh!!!! Run for your lives!

    Where's Eddie Griffin? The incorrigible homers have to vote too, you know.

    If San Antonio looses this series, I want you to remember you wrote this preceeding an unbelievable choke jobs by Parker after a game in which he went 1 for 8.

    I voted for Amare, but I tink Chandler is a close second and has way more potential than Curry.

    If I could have voted for Anthony or James or maybe Millicek I would have honestly.

    How old is Pau Gasol? If he is under 22, I would vote for him.
