I'm interested to see how Lebron ages. His athletic ability is so elite that I'm not sure he'll know how to respond when it starts to fade a bit.

Durant, however, is a no-brainer. With that jump shot he could play and remain efficient until he's 40.

As a Pistons fan, I must say...

He's gonna be a good one. He's 'boring,' so he kinda flies under the radar. Having a solid season.

Harden is a good call. He may actually already be a top 20 player. Nice stroke, great basketball IQ, and super athletic.

Bynums knees require injections of some shite three times a year. He's definitely a huge risk factor and Eric Gordon might never play a full season in the NBA.

Curry led the NBA in FT% and 3PT% his rookie year, definitely has the tools to be a great shooter.

his stats were inflated by GS's old offense

He's had games this year where he's absolutely blown up.. He could end up being a bust but I like watching him play.

it's more crazy that LA isn't on your list.
I also add two more.
Marc Gasol, Brandon Jennings

Andrew Bynum is a big man with bad knees and has played in 366 out of a possible 530 games(not including playoffs. So he's out the discussion base on your original criteria and age means nothing in the NBA nowadays, it's miles on the body. also 70%

Eric Gordon once played in 78 games in a season, his rookie year. He has played in a total of 198
out of 284 games or 70% of possible games.

Steph Curry has played a total of 177 games out of 187 possible games.....so you were saying?

and he has a severe ankle injury

plus curry (1) has no position and (2) wasn't the same player without the old GS offense

statistically, he's not the same on offense. 16/5/3 isn't this amazing line.

and he's not good on defense, and he has to kind of play it now.
