any i forgot please mention

Heh, you forgot guys like Kobe and T-Mac.. they're still playing in 5 years I think.
Also, no way Nate Robinson, Gerald Green or Iguodala are going to be in the All-NBA team in 5 years. This more of a list with which players are expected to have the best future.

Channing Frye is a very good pick though.

im basically talkin about the future players so that counts out kobe, tmac, vc etc

I already guessed you were, but I don't think the NBA counts out Kobe and T-Mac when picking the All-NBA teams, not even in 5 years from now..

kobe and t-mac aren't even 30 yet, they'll make it in five years time. with kobe's drive and competitiveness i'd be shocked if he didn't make it.

just a little side note, jordan was all-nba first team and all nba defensive first team until he was 36.. 36!

Where is arenas???
he is 23

and no love for darko??

Jason Maxiell will be all Defense in 5 years, easily.

your forgetting some young guys that have been around for a while (eg Arenas) but also, there might be some guys from upcoming rookie classes in the mix too.

I like it how you have Chris Paul and Iguodola on there

CJ Miles = MIP in 5 years

BS

BS

hey, how about the guys who will make an impact... esp those that are going to be drafted the next couple of years??? j/k

I don't think this list should run past the all nba 1st team though...

doesnt atlanta play marvin williams as a swingman... or just a sf... dont think its pf anyway.

if that green is gerald green, then no chance. boston was thinking about moving him to d-league...

Just like that tells you anything.. it's not like being sent to the D-League is similar to being sent to Siberia or anything, it's for young guys to learn and come back after 1-2 seasons.

What about lebron he might stay in the nba for as long as reggie did..

Lebron is in his list , Lebron is one of his future players listed .

well to me, that means that in 5years hewont be all-nba standard, could be wrong though, he could develope nicely, i guess you never know.

for all we know, alex acker could be allnba in 5 years...

i wouldnt say green has no chance....he'd just have to live up to that tmac comparision pretty much. As much as i love him, i doubt he does, but still theres a small shot. In 5 years i bet green is around an 18 6 4 type player, maybe a 20 ppg scorer but not an all league player, yet.

I don't know if this really effects your predictions, but when they do the all 1st, 2nd, and 3rd teams they don't split it into PF/SF or SG/PG, it's just C, F, and G.

So last year's 1st team had both Nowtizki (PF) and Duncan (PF) and both Nash (PG) and Iverson (PG).

Matrix & Redd will probably still be there, they've already made 3rd teams in the past and they're still young.

Maybe:
- Gerald Wallace (if he keeps developing)
- Zach Randolph
- Tony Parker
- Rashard Lewis
- Josh Smith
