Maybe we will have a big 4 or 5? I think I would hold off until we see that the pick isn't traded and who we draft before making any comparisons. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
Yeah this thread is all wrong with guys like Durant, Westbrook, Rubio, Curry, Jennings, and a couple of others who have been in the league for a while now.
We should be comparing our 3 young guys, 1 who we still don't even have, to other 3 young guys maybe 1 or 2 years into the league at most. That would be a better comparison.
Lakers: Randle, Clarkson, Towns/Okafor
Philly: Embiid, Noel, Russell
Bucks: Parker, MCW, Giannis
Jazz: Gobert, Exum, whoever they pick this year
Minny: Wiggins, LaVine, Dieng, Towns/Okafor
Orlando: Gordon, Payton, Oladipo, whoever they pick this year
Without sounding like a homer.. if thats the case.. I choose the Lakers lol. If there's ANY team I would put them behind.. it'd be the Bucks.. but that's by a narrow margin.

We're looking good. Minny might be better though I don't think highly of LaVine. Bucks not sure, MCW is really nothing special. Philly looks good too but they won't do anything with their guys, heck I'm expecting all of them to get traded for even more picks.
Okafor and Randle has the potential to be the best front court since Duncan and Robinson. Throw in Clarkson and only OKC and Warriors have a better big 3. Eventually, Okafor/Randle will be too much for teams once those two hit their prime.
Wash, rinse, repeat with the Sixers. I suppose they lucked out as they have a shot at D'Angelo Russell to replace MCW.. but it isn't like D'Angelo Russell is an absolute sure thing.
Russell has a lot of flash to his game.. I hope it translates to the NBA.

I think depending on the outcome of the player we land with our #2pick & what other players we get in the draft & free agency we might right there with Philly & Minny. We can still get a very good young player in FA & maybe a good player with our #27pick. _________________
I think GS's big 3 would include Green instead of Barnes, if you're into ranking 3's rather than teams. It's far to early for LA, check back in here in a few months and lets celebrate a big FA land.
Clarkson balled, but the all-rookie 1st team is relative to just rookies, not the entire NBA. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
