I'll give you a handfull of the NBA's youngest stars. You tell me the best that player can do, and what you think they will end up averaging...with an explanation. LeBron James - His Best: - What you expect: - Comments Al Jefferson - His Best: - What you expect: - CommentsDwight Howard - His Best: - What you expect: - CommentsChris Paul - His Best: - What you expect: - CommentsAndrew Bogut - His Best: - What you expect: - CommentsAndrea Bargnani - His Best: - What you expect: - CommentsRudy Gay - His Best: - What you expect: - CommentsAdam Morrison - His Best: - What you expect: - CommentsAndrew Bynum - His Best: - What you expect: - Comments This should be interesting.
LeBron James- His Best: 35 ppg, 8 rpg, and 6 or 7 apg- What you expect: I expect those numbers from Lebron.- Comments: He could be the 2nd greatest player ever if he learned to play some defenseAl Jefferson- His Best: uh, 14 and 9 is my guess- What you expect: I dont get what this means...- Comments: He hasnt showed me anything yet, so he is still a question markDwight Howard- His Best: 24 and 13- What you expect:- Comments He is a rebounding machine. You like to see more of that with young big men now adaysChris Paul- His Best: 22, 11 apg- What you expect:- Comments: Such an unselfish player, but he has a great ability to score points. He will be the next great point guard in the League until I see someone better..Andrew Bogut- His Best: 20 and 11 maybe.- What you expect:- Comments: He is a smart player who is a good passer and has good downlow footwork. He will be a great playerAndrea Bargnani - His Best: 19 and 6- What you expect:- Comments: Hopefully he can show critics that he can do more than just shoot. Hopefull he can improve his post mvoes, defense, and rebounding. That is a pretty big list for a big man, but Dirk was at a similar stage to Bargnani in HIS rookie yearRudy Gay- His Best: 24, 8, 4, 2 spg- What you expect:- Comments: This guy can flat out fill up the stat sheetAdam Morrison- His Best: 26 and 6- What you expect:- Comments: He will be one of the best scorers in the LeagueAndrew Bynum- His Best: Hard to tell now, but maybe 15 and 7. You cant tell with undeveloped players out of high school. Look at Jermaine O'Neal, and what he became. This is my guess as of now- What you expect:
LeBron James- His Best: 37/8/7 :happy0144: - What you expect: If he develops like most 21 year olds..He could turn out to be the best player ever!- CommentsAl Jefferson- His Best: 25/10 - What you expect: I expect him to be a offensive beast,and best offensive big man in the world.- CommentsDwight Howard- His Best: 25/14- What you expect: Elite rebounder, scorer in the league- CommentsChris Paul- His Best: 24/10/6- What you expect: I expect him to turn into the best all-around PG in the entire league- CommentsAndrew Bogut- His Best: 21/11- What you expect:- CommentsAndrea Bargnani- His Best: 26/9 - What you expect: If he lives up to his potential..He'll be a Dirk- CommentsRudy Gay- His Best: 24/7- What you expect: SCOTTIE PIPPEN- CommentsAdam Morrison- His Best: 30/6/4- What you expect: One of the best scorers in the league, behind lebron- CommentsAndrew Bynum- His Best: 26/12- What you expect: He'll never be Shaq, but he'll be a dominating big man- Comments
Commenting on lebron, if he reaches his full potential he'll be the greatest basketball player ever. However, i don't see him reaching his full potential.

He has a good inside game, but he is not quick, athletic, or talented enough offensively to put up those numbers. If you think so, you're just ignorant.

He has very nice footwork that's unteachable. If he tries to score, if he tries to dominate, he can. I've seen him do it. He's had problems with fould trouble and injuries.

He doesnt have a good all around offensive game. He is good downlow, but like I said before, he is just not very quick, athletic, or skilled offensively. He doesnt have a good jumper either.He has good footwork, but he wont be dominating anytime soon. And exactly, he has injury problems.

He is very skilled offensively. And you don't have to have an outside jumpshot to be a good scorer. Elton Brand got 20/10 for how many years without a jumpshot. and for your information, Al has been working on his jumpshot and it is much improved. And he is above average athletically. He is aquick leaper. He may not be very quick, but how many low block post players are really quick? And he does make his moves quick. Injury problems is completely irrelevant, BC WE ARE TALKING FULL POTENTIAL.
Al Jefferson id say has the potential to average nearly a double double in the season where he reaches his peak in athletic ability and talentabout 20/9
LeBron James- His Best: 37 ppg, 8 rpg, 7.5 apg- What you expect: 35 ppg, 8 rpg, 7.5 apg- Comments: Will end up on the official 50 best players of all time list. Will put up just as good of numbers as Jordan on offense but never get as good defensively or win as many rings. Al Jefferson- His Best: 20 ppg and 9.5 rpg- What you expect: A player that averages around those numbers in his prime who i an ideal second option for a team.- Comments: n/aDwight Howard- His Best: 25 ppg, 15 rpg, 3 bpg- What you expect: I expect this guy to be a total beast. I expect him to be the next Ben Wallace defensively but to have a very good offensive game as well.- Comments- This guy will be a superstar for many years in the league.Chris Paul- His Best: 23 ppg, 11 apg, 6 rpg, 2.5 spg- What you expect: I expect this guy to soon be the best PG in the league and if he reaches his full potential he will end up one of the best PG to ever play the game. I see this guy being an interesting combonation between Isiah Thomas and Jason Kidd- Comments- Will be one of the best PG ever.Andrew Bogut- His Best: 20 and 11- What you expect: I don't expect this guy to become the player who deserved to be #1 in the draft. If he reaches his full potential I expect him to be a solid C who averages around 20 and 11 in his rpime.- Comments- I expect this guy to not reach his full potential but to still be a very solid center in the league.Andrea Bargnani - His Best: 27 ppg, 8 rpg, and 2 bpg- What you expect: If he reaches his full potentialhe will be indeed the next Dirk but better shot blocking. - Comments- n/aRudy Gay- His Best: 25 ppg, 7 rpg, 4 apg, 2 spg, 1.5 bpg- What you expect: I do expect this guy to reach his full potential and end up being a very solid player in this league who will fill up the stat sheet and be an absolute stud.- CommentsAdam Morrison- His Best: 27 ppg and 5 rpg- What you expect: I expect this guy to be a very good scorer in the league and a good second option but never a star. I expect this guy to be like Wally but a better scorer and decnt rebounder. Probably around a career 20 ppg scorer- CommentsAndrew Bynum- His Best: 20 ppg, 12 rpg, and 2.5 bpg- What you expect: I expect him to be a total bust and never do much in the league. I expect his career best to maybe be like 12 ppg and 8 rpg.- Comments

He wont get 25 and 10 that is just rediculous. He is not a very good offensive player.
lol he didnt say 25/10 he said 20/10 which is realistic for Al Jefferson once he hits his prime...25/10 is something I expect from Yao Ming next year
No, the other dude said 25 ppg. Kingjamez..Al just isnt as skilled as Yao offensively. He's not a guy I can see scoring alot.

LeBron James- His Best: 35 ppg, 8 rpg, 6 apg- What you expect: A player that will be compared to MJ for several years, and eventually will become better than Kobe.Al Jefferson- His Best: 21 ppg, 11 rpg, 2 apg- What you expect: A big man that needs to be polished more defensively, but has a great set of offensive skills for his age.Dwight Howard- His Best: 26 ppg, 16 rpg, 4 apg- What you expect: One of the best up-and-coming centers in the league, but needs to get more touches on his team for him to be a reliable number one option.Chris Paul- His Best: 22 ppg, 11 apg, and 6 rpg- What you expect: Suprisingly a great rebounder for his size, one of the best all-around PGs in the league, and will make a big impact with the Hornets.Andrew Bogut- His Best: 18 ppg, 10 rpg, and 4 apg- What you expect: A good passer for his size, and can bang in the paint. He will not become as good as Howard or Jefferson, however.Andrea Bargnani - His Best: 21 ppg, 8 rpg, and 2 apg- What you expect: I dont see the Dirk comparisons, he'll be a slightly better version of Keith Van Horn when he was with the Nets.Rudy Gay- His Best: 27 ppg, 8 rpg, and 5 apg- What you expect: He'll become a great all-around player, he'll become even better than Scottie Pippen.Adam Morrison- His Best: 23 ppg, 7 rpg, and 2 apg- What you expect: He might be a great offensive player, but his lack of quickness on defense will degrade his offensive abilities. Andrew Bynum- His Best: 25 ppg, 10 rpg, 1 apg- What you expect: Nowhere near as good as Shaq, but he'll be pretty damn good.

If you think so, you're just ignorant.</div>i want to know why you always call people ignorant CB4. Is it your word of the month or somethingAnd All Jefferson getting 25 points when he is in his prime, and if he lives up to his maximum potential, it is very possible. I dont think that Andrew Bynum will be able to do much more than like 18 and 9. I dont see him becoming an absolute monster. And Lebron will stop at 35 points at the maximum. I just dont think a player CAN average that many more points than that. If somebody could do it though, it would be him. When Dwight is in his prime, he is going to rape everybody. He is going to be dropping 27 and 15 IMO. Nobody will be able to stop him. Except maybe greg oden. And when Chris Paul is in his prime, and if he reaches his maximum potential(which he will), he is going to be a triple double machine. I see him getting 20ppg 10 apg and like 7 rpg.
Greg Oden: 33 ppg, 14 rpg, 3.6 bpg. He's going to be great. I love how he plays. He's not a skinny tall player, like Bosh or KG. He's got muscle, and will be like David Robinson.
