[Donkey]

For $3.0M, who are the top 5 most valuable players in THIS league who are 25 and under and why?

 

[Panic!]

1. Jermaine - teen high pot
2. Kobe - teen high pot
3. Carter - was a teen. Probably High pot
4. Shaq - very strong
5. Iverson - can score

 

[notail]

1. Shaq O'Neal- most dominant big and he's still locked in cheap for years
2. Elton Brand - really liked him in the draft pre-TC, and think he's a great young teen big who's already developed
3. Kobe Bryant - he's living up to his real life and has great spread as a sophomore. still with potential left
4. Ray Allen - top scorer who is already one of the better SG/SF with potential to improve
5. Vince Carter - currently leading in scoring for the league. even if he's on a tanking team, that's hard to do amongst so many great players in the league right now. He's just 20 and he has the physical tools. He just need time for other aspects of his game to catch up

1) Shaq - Until someone steps up to his level he is no. 1. I think that will change soon because of how stacked the first 2 drafts were but he will still be elite either way. Magic are also the top team, and hes the main reason why.


2) Vincent Lamar Carter - Apparently boosted and scores like an animal. If he uses that pot he could be Barrett-like

3) Elton Brand - Also boosted? Not sure tbh since I havent been around but he looks like the next Malik Rose. Also like the dude NC had whose name escapes me right now.

4) Ray Allen - I fucking love his build. No further comment

5) Kobe Bryant - Simply awesome skills with still very high pot. No disrespect to him being 5, all these guys are incredible.


HM - Allen Iverson, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzski, Probably more but I'm lazy (yeah I had to take the opportunity to suck off my own guys)

 

[hokeyrules]

Carter - He should be traded to me but boy is he good
Shaq - Clearly the best and relatively cheap
Kobe - because he is Kobe and has tons of pot left
Ray Allen - One of the best scorers in the league
Elton Brand - He is looking pretty damn good

 

[mngopher35]

Kobe - Already B+ B scoring and B+ defense. I am not sure another wing on file even has this combo of ratings outside Pippen and he has top pot in the league on top
Shaq - Dominant big man and best player on file currently while still young
Ray Allen - Already putting up great numbers on a solid team, should be elite for a long time
Tim Duncan - He isn't quite there yet to be in Shaq convo but is still already helping carry an elite team, very good ratings for a young big
Vince Carter - Slightly dissapointing TC this year after a killer rookie season but already looks elite offensively and may just be fringe in an area or two now

 

[Foreman]

Shaq - Dominant big guy who can make any team at least a regular season winner.
Kobe - Growing into a superstar and name value alone could land anyone in the league.
Tim Duncan - Possibly already the 2nd best big in the league.
Ray Allen - scoring will be elite for many seasons
Elton Brand - Can possibly continue to grow into an amazing big

 

[GB]

Shaq- dominant but already. Easily best player under 25.
Vince- still has a ton of pot and is an elite scorer already
Kobe- assuming he still has pot, could reach Vince level offense pretty easily and is more well rounded
KG- absolute stud dpoty type guy already
Allen Iverson - prob less pot then the other spects listed but already has an elite feel to him

 

[Xxplayerxx23]

Shaq- best player in the league
KG ebbs says no way but I take NCs word about his pot and he’s already a star
Kobe great ratings great pot
VC - great potential already an unbelievable scorer
Ray Allen - superstar already probably good pot leading a good team in scoring

my non humble ratings
AI
Rashard Lewis
Who cares about anybody else !

 

[NCツ]

1 - Kobe Bryant - Still has insane pot and is already B+ B B+

2 - Shaq - Best player in the league at 25, should be adding his first ring this year

3 - KG - All time defender, great splits, good volume, and still has potential in the 80s

4 - VC - insane potential apparently, he should be very legit very soon

5 - Iverson - love his build, think he should still have good pot to work with as well

 

[Donkey]

1. Kobe Bryant - Easy the highest ceiling in the league
2. Shaquille O'Neal - The most dominant big man in the league.
3. Kevin Garnett - Already the best defensive player in the league and still has a lot of room to grow.
4. Ray Allen - One of the best scorers/shooters in the league and hasn't reached his full potential.
5. Grant Hill - Elite playmaker on the wing, elite defender and he's thriving as a scorer in LA.

 

[AiRuPtHeRe™]

1. Shaq - best young player easily. Can dominate on both ends.
2. Kobe - still a teen with great scoring ratings and will come along as a defender.
3. Kevin Garnett - dope defender.
4. Allen Iverson - flows between him and Ray. I like Allen’s ability to play PG to give him the edge.
5. Ray Allen - dope scorer on the wing. I believe he’s a little older without looking at the ratings

 

[Cloud]

Shaq - 2 time MVP best player
Kobe - Future 2 way star
KG - elite defender solid offensive game good pot
Ray - great efficiency scoring
Iverson - good balanced scoring guard
