there is potential but the majority of this draft class have had very tough years.

I think Deron Williams will potentially become a superstar, though I do not see it hapopening in Utah under the same managment. Lee the rookie for Knicks has potential as well, but he will be shit under knicks. Linas Kleiza from Denver has alot of potential, he playes well when he gets a chance, he plays tough, George Karl is helping him. Julius Hodge now is NBDL and he is doing well averagiung 16ppg, I think he might become something. Overall I think this year was weak in terms of Rookies.

That's the class of '06.

As for 2005, it's too early to say. Remember, it was too early to say aboyt Dwayne Wade as well, even during the 2004 playoffs.

Yeah it is way to early to say but I think Derron Williams will go far...

And I also think Sean May has the potential to go far....

As for the others I'm not really certain.

Are you kidding me? May and Williams over CV, Fry, Bogut, Robinson, Granger, Graham? I'm not saying they are gonna be superstars, but there's no way these guys are less talented than SEAN MAY.

LMFAO. NBDL stats don't mean a thing. Wasn't Marcus Fizer averaging like 28 ppg? :lol:

Deron Williams=over rated because of NCAA tournament

Kleiza=garbage

Lee=can't shoot

I agree with this 100%

it's really a shame that Utah traded 3 first round picks to get him/pass on Chris Paul

If Deron Williams becomes a superstar- I'll be the first to admit I was wrong. But until then- I'm going to trash Utah for making the moves to pick him

I think Chris Paul will become the next Kevin Johnson.

Channing Frye might become a 18ppg/9rpg guy.

Charlie V could become similar to a Chris Webber?

Deron Williams doesn't have the athleticsm to be a star i don't think. Just a solid PG aka Andre Miller.

I think Marvin will become a star, but will need time.

Raymond Felton and Nate Robinson have potential to be very good and exciting point guards.

Luther Head has a great work ethic and could come out a steal for Houston.

Danny Granger can do just about anything... I see him becoming similar to Rashard Lewis except less offensive orientated and more defensive/rebounding orientated.

Ike Diogu will be a similar player to Zach Randolph, except with more defense.

Sean May will produce similar stats to Zach Randolph too in his career probably.

Martell Webster will be a bust.

Gerald Green i have no idea about. He has the ability, but does he have the mind?

Andrew Bogut could become close to an all star, but i'm not sure about him. He's very solid already.

Frasisco Garcia will suprise everyone and end up being a key player for a team one day. That guy knows how to play.

I wouldn't be suprised to see Rashad McCants as an 17-20ppg kind of guy one day.

I still think Rashad McCants will have a very good playing career. Even though the minutes arent coming his way as much as I like in Minny, I see him being a 20+ppg scorer and really making an impact.

Hmmm....

You didn't read very accuratly I think you better think about what I said before you quote me because I didn't say Sean May has the potential to be a superstar I said he has the potentail to go far (meaning be a good player).

And as for Derron Williams I said he can go far (I repeat be a good player) And I didn't say Sean May has more skill then the others like Fry, Bogut, Robinson, Granger, Graham. I said I wasn't certain about the others.

So before you quote me you retard read over my post and read over your post becuase you're a little confused in the English sector.

P.S And I do think Fry, Bogut, Robinson, Granger, Graham can go far I'm just not really certain of them.

RETARD!

I think Hawks should have picked a player who would rather start i mean they had the 2nd pick overall and select Marvin Williams who will come off the bench? They have a pretty solid frontcourt before the draft either with Josh Smith as SF and Al Harrington as PF. To overcome their past unsuccessful years i think the Hawks should have picked Chris Paul and then with Joe Johnson signing they would have a decent backcourt. Altogether they would have 4 starters, all of them with potential.

I don't know if Marvin Williams will be a star since i dont see his abilities that much but i think he is in the wrong place.

By the way my star candidate of rookie class '05 is Chris Paul. I wonder how he will do in the upcoming seasons because his carrying Hornets who were very unsuccessful last year to the playoffs even in his 1st year.

If you are dumb enough to say Sean May can go far, you better mean the rest of the rookie will go far as well. When you say "As for the others I'm not really certain" AFTER you say Sean May can go far, it means you are not certain if the rest of the rookie will go as far as Sean May. Moron

I'm not convinced Bogut will really play to his potential until either the Bucks hire a better coach (i.e, anyone not named Stotts) or he's traded to another team. Apart from him, just the usual suspects.

mark_30_34_34124_343_3430_3430_343558_332_34 you're already spamming like crazy, don't start the verbal insults either. First warning.

Be great to see Luther Head become as good as Cuttino Mobley. But that's up to him. And i'm a big fan of Danny Granger's, i think he could develop into a Shawn Marion type player, minus the flashiness.

Other than CP, the obvious one, i think Granger could become a stellar 2nd option, in the mold of Pippen. At the very least he could get to Tayshaun Prince-level.

I think Raymond Felton will be a lot better than he is now.

David Lee just needs time and he could be good now.
