Greatest Upside in the NBA?

Who has it?
Who do think will become a dynamic player based on this in the upcoming years?
I think Lou Williams and Thad Young will. These guys are great players who have tremendous upside. Lou just recently starting getting PT once Mo Cheeks got canned and it seems to be working out. I was told he was was one of the best guards in the country and that seems to be holding true based to how he has been playing with more pt. Thad is a great defensive guy who needs to work on his outside shooting. Once he learns that, he will be a 20-10 player IMO.

I think Lou putting up more mins and better numbers has more to do with Brand being out than Cheeks being gone. He should be good for years to come, he was a terror in HS, he's just more of a SG in a PG body.
While we're on the Sixers, Speights is looking good too.
Oh yeah, for greatest upside, I think it's Rose because of his attitude and ability. Or maybe even Dwight Howard.

Speights was one of the only guys who stopped and talked while I was in the family room. Ups to him. great guy. I asked who was the best team in CFB, he said...man you really want to ask me that. I think you know who I will say. 
The new coach was walking with Lou both times I saw him. I am not sure if Mo didnt like him or just thought he wasnt a threat. I will email Thad and find out though.

Meh I dont work at the Bluffs anymore. I was just reiterating what I was told there and I went with it too far. I dont have any members in the TAF board at Pelican.

The answer is Brandon Roy
He's a big guard who has great handles, pretty much ambidextrous. Did you see him score 52 the other night. WOW. He followed that up with 8 points. But it shows what he's capable of, even if its against the Suns shitty D.
Once the talent around him really develops he's going to be great.
Also Rose and Westbrook are going to be reeeallly good.

Brandon Roy is too good already to have that much upside.

Big Baby could tip the scales at 350 if he really put his mind to it.

Might be true, but I'm just saying as Oden, Aldridge, Batum, Fernandez, and Outlaw (if they keep him) develop the D won't be able to focus on him as much as they do now. I've watched games where he's been doubled every time he touches the ball. He's a baller.
So that said I'll go with the other two names in my last thread haha Rose and Westbrook. The thunder may suck but at least next year they may be entertaining.
On another note, how about Bayless for the trailblazers not touching the court and may never with Webster coming back from injury. The blazers are deep man deep. Next year they're going to be outstanding.

i think Augstin has very, very little upside. He is already a really polished player with limited size and athleticism. Don't see how he can get that much better.
