I don't. Awesome skill set in part. I just don't think he will be dominant. Not trying to trash an LSU player here. I am talking about the NBA and the draft.

I hope the Lakers draft him. I hate the Lakers and I just don't think he will be great at the next level.

EDIT:By great, I am talking about an all-time great player that we compare to other great players across eras. I am not talking about making all-star teams.

That would be a little above average to decent, no?

Why? Why don't you think so? If he plays 12 years in the NBA, he will make at least 6-7 all star teams.

Also, he will be the #1 overall pick. Many think the 76ers are debating between who to draft...yet, they're actively shopping Noel and Okafor.

He'll average more points just by improving his free throws.

14/8/6 is good.

He might be a 20/9/6 guy, which would be really, really good. Not great, though. If his attitude gets right, he can be a strong contributor, for sure. Just not sure he will be a franchise player.

By great, I am talking about an all-time great player that we compare to other great players across eras. I am not talking about making all-star teams.

He's a superstar. If he gets a good coach he's Grant Hill a 20/10/7 player in his prime. Without good coaching he's Lamar Odom 14/9/5 in his prime.

I think he will exceed 20ppg a couple of times in his career.

Is he hyped as being a generational type talent? I really haven't kept up with him that much

What do you mean? Didn't he commit to Nike today for only 7.5 mil?

He was at the beginning of last season but it obviously had died down a bunch.
