College Player with most NBA Potential

Stephen. Curry.

End game.

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.

Agree 100%. If you go on raw upside I doubt anyone really comes close to DeRozan. His athleticism is unparalleled. He's got alot of work to do to get there though.

Terrance Williams is more athletic to me, i think he'll be a great player in the NBA.

Willie Warren(Oklahoma) and Greg Monroe(Georgetown) looked damn impressive when I saw them. Also, Paddy Mills(St. Marys) is talked about as maybe being the best PG in college.

I am a little biased, but I am going to have to go with Demar Derozan. He started off poorly but has finished the season on fire! 25 points today when my boys beat ASU.

He was amazing, I also like Pat Mills too^ he can shoot and make plays.

Jrue Holliday. Was disappointing this season but has a high ceiling.

James Harden. I have to say I'm a little surprised that nobody has mentioned him...

It says with the MOST potential. There is no way he has the most potential.

I love his game, it's right for the NBA, get teammates involved in the beginning and take over when needed.

I mentioned it in the 5th post in this thread
As for Curry, I think he has a spot in the NBA. He is different from Redick in that he knows how to get his own. He has a quicker release, a better handle, can get to the rack and finish.
As for Tyreke Evans....yes, he was the #6 recruit of 2008, and has an NBA future. He will probably be a 2 years and done player, but has always been in a rush to get to the NBA (which is why he chose Memphis over Nova), so he might declare this year. I don't think he'll really be anything special, but he'll get there.

Dwayne Wade and other guys on Team USA said Patty Mills was every bit as good as Chris Paul in the Olympics. I'll take him.
