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.

jordan wasn't even picked #1
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.

rose...has had like 2 good years
When healthy Rose has been exceptional. You can't hold injuries against what he is as a player.

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

he was exceptional one year and he was quite overrated in that year b/c the media was pissed at LBJ

putting all your eggs in an unknown basket who might get hurt is a worry, especially when you can acquire a known commodity on the court AND have an idea of how their body holds up

he's not close to LBJ. every super athletic HS senior is going to be called the next LBJ, just like how there was a "next Jordan" for 15 years until LBJ showed up
wiggins isn't even doing that much in college. sure he's serviceable, but he's not doing anything special. durant averaged 25.8 ppg as a true freshman. wiggins is at like 15.7. hell michael beasly was twice the college player
wiggins has been a major disapointment, actually. parker has been the #1 guy, and he's a 3.5 without a position as of right now. i'm interested to see how he does in the ACC, but he looks like a stud. he'll almost assuredly be a "small 4" in the NBA, which means he's playing davis's position
quote:

he's not. he's not even in the top 3 college freshmen since melo (Durant, Davis, Beasley). i don't care to think of any others, so don't think i'm saying he's close to 4 or anything

Based on their high school days? Im not a college ball guy at all, but cmon now. Austin Rivers and Shabazz were going to be stars coming out of HS too.
Certainly a couple of these guys will be great players, but there will be more busts than not. Foolish to throw away a season of Davis's development just for the sake of hoping to land a 19 yo that turns into an NBA star.
