College Player with most NBA Potential

[Joeed10]

Watching the OU/OK State game. Griffin has been a beast all year. I'm not totally sold on him in the NBA. I know he's def should be the #1 pick but I'm trying to think of some guys that have more potential.

Thabeet could be a defensive force but I think a little weight could help him
Griffin dominated like Beasley did last season and Beasley hasn't been the beast... yet
Hansbrough been a star all of his time at NC but I don't see him as a star at all in the league.

I like Calathes but I'm not sure on his overall potential. I think he could be a really good pg but potential wise can't decide on.

I liked Griffin, but im still trying to figure out how he recieved such a bad concussion from a face slap. I know these guys can get physical but wait till he gets to the Nba and bangs bodies with real men. I dont question his mental toughness it just may be that his body might not hold up which is something he may not have any control of. I was also High on Thabeet untill he was manhandled by a guy shorter (But stonger) than him meaning his size can be taken away just by being a little rough with him. As for Hansbrough IMO he is undersized and not athletic enough. I could see him be a good back up guy to someone.

Personally I think Griffin is soft, just look at tonight, didn't even show up at all and doesn't in big games, and on the "concussion" I think he was faking just so he could miss their 2 toughest games of the year and have an excuse, but that's just me haha.

I won't say he'll be the best, but Devan Ebanks of WVU will be very good in the NBA. 6'9, huge long arms and can play from the outside, and is only a freshman. Harden of ASU will also be nasty, IMO.

Gerald Henderson

I liked Henderson alot, he's the only reason Duke is even halfway decent this year, I also like Terrance Williams from Louisville, kind of a LeBron like player in that he does everything.

Gerald Henderson

good call, i was actually struggling trying to think of someone that would be a good pro but now that you say it i do think henderson can play good at the nba level.

Jordan Hill

Jordan Hill

how big is he? was thinking he's only like 6'8'', but he's ferociuos, i like watching him play alot. i think johnny flynn should be mentioned too, he can do everything as a PG and he can score like crazy.

 

[Anthony K.]

Stephen. Curry.

End game.

Stephen. Curry.

End game.

i think he can be a sleeper, he'll be like his daddy.

Hill is listed at 6' 10". He definitely has the size and wingspan to play PF in the NBA.

yeah he's a great athlete and has a nice jump shot.

Have to disagree with this one. Specialty shooters usually do not translate well to the NBA, see JJ Reddick among others(some will argue that JJ was a much better college shooter than Stephen as well). Although I don't think he will be a bad player, I just don't believe he has the most potential. He will be a nice addition for any team. The defense in the NBA will shut Curry down with ease, since he lacks the athleticism that some players have.

As far as potential, I also like Demar DeRozan.

A.J. Price. Can shot, drive, and dish. Plus hes not affraid to shot the ball in the clutch.

 

[aw00d05]

Remembered this one tonight: Grevies Vasquez, 6'4'' PG who can shoot, pass, rebound sounds alot like Jason Kidd to me...

 

[ryanhoward06]

Does anybody know if Tyreace(sp) Evans has a shot? I think he was the top HS player last year.

i don't think he really does, better shot than rose but not saying much really...
