    Who do you project, from any level- already pro, college, high school, foreign player, your 14 year old son--haha-- will be ann all star in eight years or so.

    He are some people I might expect.

    Pros already:
    Francis, Vince, TMAC, KG, Kobe, Shaq??, Odom, Iverson, Rasheed

    College Players:
    Swift, Brandan Haywood, Jason Williams(I think he will make a solid NBA pg-plus he already has the name), Carlos Boozer (I love his game), Forte, Marvin Stone

    Some HS's-most playing college ball next year:
    Eddie Griffin, Zach Randolph, Marcus Taylor (isn't he suppossed to be the next Magic for MState), Alton Ford [​IMG]

    These are jsut some possibilities. Throw out some names or if there is someone special you know of or are following let us know so we can also track it to see what pans out.

    Statistically speaking, what are your chances of being right?

    Just kidding!

    Shaq in 8 years?? If I have to deal with him for another 8-10 years, I will surely be locked in a padded cell, rocking back and forth in my straight jacket, laughing and saying,"ARMAGEDDON!"

    I'm just guessing as to where players will end up as far as East-West goes. Here we go:
    East
    Iverson
    McGrady (hmmmm....)
    Gerald Wallace
    Eddie Griffin
    Tim Duncan

    West
    Steve Francis
    Kobe
    KG
    Zach Randolph! (almost joking. almost)
    Eddy Curry (look out for this guy)

    It is probably a good idea not to load up on 3 guys from the same high school class that was considered average to below average.

    i think this will be the All-NBA team 8 years from now...

    PG: Francis
    SG: Kobe
    SF: Carter
    PF: Garnett
    C: Duncan

    Duncan at center you say? Yes... due to the lack of quality centers in the future, Duncan will be the best center in the league.

    You forgot about Karl Malone. He'll never retire just to spite us.

    First and foremost, Jonathan Bender will be an East All Star and a first team all NBA player..... I hope. If he reaches his potential he very well has that chance. He had a Monster dunk during garbage time of the 1st game of the Finals, if you missed it. If your interested, I have a break down of Bender's strength and weaknesses on the pacer notes portion of my page. (see below)

    Secondly, Zach Randolph is incredible. Think 6'8" Charles Barkley. I am not making the comparison because it would an insult to all that Chuck has done, but the style and body type and types of skills reminds me so much of him. Not fair to the kid or Chuck to say that, but it is the easiest way to describe him.

    Thirdly, I am a huge Joseph Forte guy, he will be scary good next year at UNC. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see him go #1 overall in 2001 NBA draft.
