Guys like Melo, Lebron, Howard, Durant, Davis, Jordan, Ewing, Rose etc aren't really risks or gambles.

helo, durant, davis, LBJ? yes

howard was a gamble. people thought okafor was better...and i mean about half of "basketball" people

jordan wasn't even picked #1

rose...has had like 2 good years

none of the guys this past year or next year are close to the level of lbj/durant/melo/davis

Ok then he's not a good example. There's no debate about these kids. There's universal acceptance and agreement they'll be stars. I must have remember Howard's hype differently, I thought he was in that same ballpark.

He was picked third in an equally loaded draft where the 1st overall pick is an all-time great and the second could never stay healthy. This is the kind of draft where you can get a HOF'er with the 4th pick is what I'm saying.

When healthy Rose has been exceptional. You can't hold injuries against what he is as a player.

Did you miss every single article about how Wiggins is the closest thing to LBJ? How Randle is the most polished college player since Melo? How Parker or Smart might be better than both of them?
