Top 5 Superstar potential in the Draft

[ManualRam]

i cant even come up with a top 5. this isnt a superstar potential draft.

as for the meyers pick, he might not have superstar potential, but i think he has one of the highest ceilings in this draft

[CsBsSoxPhins]

I'm surprised I'm the only one to list Royce White so far.

[FireNellieQuick]

Drummond
ADavis
PJ3
Rivers
Waiters

[crazybranman360]

1. Anthony Davis
2. Andre Drummond
3. Austin Rivers
4. Royce White
5. Dion Waiters



I don't see how Perry Jones has superstar potential. Superstars need a certain mentality to be great. Perry Jones doesn't have that mentality. He has the mentality of a really good player, but not "superstar"

[JamesNaismith]

Davis

But someone who I think will be a high level stud but not quite superstar is Beal.

Hard to state that about Jones and then have Drummond and White on the list...

I don't know enough about Drummond or White to make that statement. Obviously i've heard Drummond passions/competivness been questioned but Whites? I've never heard that

I am too..this guy will be the steal of the draft. Big, strong, aggressive and can handle the ball like a PG...that is very unique.
Denver might take him at 20 if available but I'm hoping Mavs grab him at 17.

I don't think anyone in this draft is going to be one of the 5 best player in the league during their career. I think a bunch have a chance at being top 15 though.

Davis, Barnes and Drummond have the highest ceilings.
MKG and Beal are as likely to be extremely good as anyone I don't see them as greats.
Jones and Lamb physically are capable.

1. Andre Drummond

4. Perry Jones III
5. Austin RIvers

It's kind of interesting that 4 (out of 8 lists) people so far have mentioned Tony Wroten as having superstar potential (CHA_77_Bobcats, Marlo Stanfield, Curtis Lemansky, and Elmaestro90), and yet he's typically mock-drafted around 25, whereas just about everyone else mentioned is lottery... Do people see him as having a higher bust potential to counteract his perceived higher ceiling?

They say he is so low because is bball IQ is way way lower than Javale McGee and that's

Same thing I was going to say.

After Davis I don't really see anyone with true superstar potential, but there are a number with star potential. Very real and very likely star potential.

Jeremy Lamb was a guy I was super high on, I know many were, but I've really lowered my expectations.

I still feel he's going to be a very good player, but he was just too passive, not enough leadership intangibles, needs to get to the line more and with every interview of him I watch I cringe a little more.

He sounds dumb. Not completely down south inbred dumb, and not catch 2 DUI's, beat up his girl and get in a shootout in a club dumb, but dumb that even translates to the court some, dumb.

I won't take it too seriously, there are a ton of semi-star and lower level star players that sound like they need to read audio books, but a vast majority of superstars and true stars sound and mainly are intelligent.

A comparison I heard from you and others that I agreed with and used myself was a rich man's Eddie Jones and a rich man's Rip Hamilton, but I've been thinking just Eddie Jones or just plain old Rip Hamilton for awhile now, not a rich man's.



I think the only one that really has that possibility would be maybe Royce White and that still seems like an INCREDIBLE long shot, especially for an undersized 4 that needs the ball to be effective and will likely be drafted in the middle of the first round, late lotto at best.

[Wone]

easily perry jones number 1.

[B-easy]

I think potential is all about things you can't teach, ie height, athleticism etc. Everything else can be taught no matter how difficult it is. So going by that i would say someone like a Tony Wroten or Drummond would have the most potential in this draft.

I agree with this.
