Top 100 NBA Players--Five years from Now

[Jamaaliver]

This list is simultaneously hilarious, insightful and infuriating. It's a really good read.

We ended up with 4 players on the list and one very notorious ex-Hawk.

Thoughts?

Too high for anyone?

Anyone Too low?

91. Paul Millsap

Paul Millsap is really good. Like his new teammate, Al Horford, he has a game that will age pretty well. He's already 28 years old, but it's not like he relies on elite athleticism or quickness to be effective. He'll remain a pretty good rebounder for a long time, and if he ever fully develops his three-point range, he could end up being even higher on this list. -KACZMAREK

76. Jeff Teague

Good player, gets better every year and now has some long-term security. I'd like to see Playoff Teague Mode engaged on a regular basis, but he's at the point where he should be able to figure all that out. I wouldn't mind a better jumper though. -FLANNERY

74. Dennis Schröder

This may be an overreaction to a brilliant Summer League, but sometimes, you just know court vision when you see it. Schröder has a long way to go to become a better shooter and decision-maker, but his vision is special and his ability to change speeds so easily is remarkable for a 19-year-old. The biggest reason I didn't rank him higher, besides the whole overreacting to Summer League thing, is that he may not be a starting point guard yet because the Hawks locked up Jeff Teague for four more years. -PRADA

Two players not on the list who I believe have a really good chance:

John Jenkins and Lucas Nogueira.

Jenkins, I believe, will really thrive in the Spurs like offense Coach Bud will employ. I actually suspect he will earn the starting SG position and post some pretty solid scoring numbers.

Bebe has the potential to play similar to Tyson Chandler with his rebounding and shot blocking, assuming he puts on some weight and learns proper positioning.

And of course the franchise:

37. Al Horford

Al Horford is quite exceptional at basketball. I think he's probably the most underrated player in the NBA right now and it seems like he has the type of game that will age well. He's a very smart player who doesn't really have many glaring holes. I see no reason why he can't be very productive well into his 30s. -KACZMAREK

ZILLER: I want to see Horford in top 5 of MVP voting one of these years. So good.

PRADA: I'm worried his defense will fall off without Josh Smith there to help protect him, but I'm intrigued to see him in Mike Budenholtzer's offensive system.

FLANNERY: Allow me to present a hypothetical: If Horford was healthy in 2011-12, the Hawks probably beat the Celtics and Danny Ainge breaks the gang up one year earlier, thus saving Bostonians from the Jordan Crawford Experience, while keeping the Horford-Josh Smith Hawks together for another decade after an unexpected run to the conference finals. Basketball is a weird game.

TJARKS: Those Horford-Smith teams have never gotten enough credit. How many franchises can really sneeze at six straight playoff appearances and three trips to the second round? I'm not convinced Atlanta will be able to build a team that good around Horford again.

O'DONNELL: Wasn't that as much a byproduct of a crappy conference more than anything else? Those Hawks teams were solid, but they were never going to win anything.
