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..

[j.23]

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!

[Amphatoast]

Where is arenas???
he is 23

and no love for darko??

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

[Matt]

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

[Jugs]

CJ Miles = MIP in 5 years

[wargreymon54321]

BS

[Bruce]

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...

[Laxation]

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..

[Doobie]

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...

[Repole]

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.

[maes]

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
