    1. Patterson
    2. Morris
    3. Motiejunas.

    TWill, Hill, and Thabeet both lack the brains to have high potential. Rarely do players develop an IQ with seasoning. Players with basketball smarts tend to have much higher ceilings.

    I don't see how anyone can gauge the potential of Morris right now. He would be totally without playing time at the 4 and there is considerable doubt that he has the lateral quickness to guard the opponents 3 much less the 2 when there is an assignment switch on defense.

    "potential" is pretty much best case scenario.
    I'll start off:

    TWilly - Iggy
    Thabeet - Deke

    DMo ?
    Morris ?
    Patterson ?
    Cbud ?
    Flynn ?
    Morris ?

    So whichever player is the best of the best case scenarios, you have the winner of the "potential" category.
    case solved.

    This.

    Voted T-Will because the question is biggest potential. But I'll be pretty shocked if he reaches it. Morris, Monty, and Patterson in that order are the prospects most likely to be someone significant.

    I'm going to say Thabeet. But, he's also the most likely to be the biggest flop too.

    Potential? Williams without a question. But who will be a quality role player for years to come? Patterson.

    Definitely, PPT.
    Williams could not make best of himself without getting rid of attitude problem.

    I honestly can't see TWill's upside being any more than a swingman version of White Chocolate. He'll likely always play too selfishly and out of control. The question is whether he can keep himself somewhat composed, enough to actually help the team win. Expecting him to generally play within a system, take what the defense gives him is almost impossible.

    1. He has body type and athleticism of Pierce/Melo(from workouts)
    2. He has considerable post ability from his years at Kansas
    3. He is a natural SF before college and still is a natural SF(see #1 for confirmation)
    4. He has range, easily capable of developing a legit NBA 3pt shot.
    5. Potential is Pierce/Anthony. Can be a huge matchup nightmare as he can post up smaller 3s and get by quicker 4s.
    6. Defense we'll wait and see

    Lin. stingy defender and is explosive off the bench. remindes me of a cortney lee with better defense and not a wet 3pt shot. has lots of time to grow too.

    H-thab is literally at the b-tom of the b-rel. I have to assume that he has the most raw p-tial.

    He just joined and has four posts. JLOF?

    Thabeet has the most potential but that doesn't mean anything. Twill would be second but hasn't had the chance to show us anything. Those two guys are just built right to be beastly basketball players. DMo would be my next guess.

    Out of all of them Pat will more than likely be the best, although I don't think you can say he has the highest ceiling.
