[SLAM] NBA Top 25 Under 25

Stephen Curry's only flaw was that he was a rookie. He is between tier 1 and tier 2 imo.

  You mean no "Kobe Bryant" or "Ray Allen" on there?! How could that be?

 

how old is aaron brooks?

 

I believe he is 25 or 26.

 

Pretty sure he's only 25.
But it is of course under 25....so just missed out.

 

In before all the Rudy Gay haters unite and invade the thread.

 

Westbrook Below Tyreke? Yeah right

 

Eric Gordon is criminally underrated...

 

It's pretty crazy that Dwight and Josh Smith still aren't 25. They were drafted 6 years ago.

Looking back at that draft, not very much talent.

 

Blake Griffin- hasn't played a single game yet I'd rank him in the top 10. HE'S THAT GOOD.

Andres Biedrins- Struggles with injuries but when healthy he's a shot blocking double-double machine.

Andray Blatche- This guys a headcase but he's a baller no doubt. If he can get his **** together and keep it together he would easily belong in tier 3. As is I'd still take him over 5-7 guys on that list.

Lou Williams- A very nice forgotten player. Doesn't get much attention in Philly but this guys only 23 and was having a really nice season till he broke his jaw and Iverson stole his thunder. I'd take him over 1/2 season wonder George Hill and Marvin Williams.

Dejuan Blair- He's better than Chandler, Marvin Williams, JR Smith, George Hill and I might even take him over Beasley.

Serge Ibaka- He's only 20, has the body, size, talent, work ethic, plays great defense and really started to make a name for himself late last season. This guy is going to be a force. I think he's the better prospect in comparison to his teammates Harden and Green. He beats out Marvin Williams in my book.

Jason Thompson > Marvin Williams. Younger, less experience (will only get better), better size, more skills, smaller contract.

If you haven't noticed I really don't think Marvin Williams belongs on that list. That fool sucks.

George Hill over Mayo, Gordon and Jennings?? LOL very funny.

Brook Lopez is better than Andrew Bynum and Kevin Love could move up a couple spots.... he will be a double-double monster for many years to come and he really understands the game. I wish we could have him.

 

how is bargnani a me-first player

i wish he was more me first, and try more to lead the dam team.

 

Read it again. It say's Role players and a ME first player. Extra emphasis on "A" meaning a single person. That person being none other than JR. Smith.

 

Two things that jump out at me.

1. Josh Smith is qualified to be on this list yet Aaron Brooks is not
2. Wilson freaking Chandler? Is Galinari too old? Because if there's a potentially awesome young player on the Knicks roster, it's defnitetly not Chandler. He might even be 3rd behind Tonay Douglas.

Otherwise... meh

 

Good call.. Totally forgot about Gallo. I'd take him over Wilson and you guessed it Marvin Williams.

 

how could that be? well, ray allen isnt 25 or under neither is kobe bryant!

 

Am I the only one that thinks Michael Beasley's way too high on his list? His underwhelming performance is a big part of the reason the team should be called the Miami Wades.

 

Westbrook should be in the top 5. I think Rondo is a good player but its because he's playing with 3 future HOF. I take Russel Westbrook over Rondo any day. Rondo usually gets the spotlight because he is playing with an elite team. If you take him out and put him in a crappy team like Memphis, he wouldn't even be as high. Rose is still a better player in my eyes than Rondo.

 

Rondo may play with 3 future HOF players, but he was the best player on the Celtics for most of this season and the playoffs.

 

You would think after Rondo LEADS the Celtics to the finals, the haters would shut up. Rondo is top 4 PG's in the league bro... hate it or love it.
