Who is it? At this point I'm thinking it might be Zubac. |

Probably Ingram. But no one on this squad is a sure thing. |

Lmao. I'm not going to vote because I don't want to break the threeway tie just yet. 8 votes each for Ingram, Dlo,and Zu. Poor Randle though |

Easily Russell for me.... I love Zub and BI but I need to see more from them to put them above Russell, who's already proven himself a solid player in the league at the age of 20.
0 votes for Randle.. Sorry Anph |

Randle has such great talent already. But, he seems to think it's fine to just pick every 4th or 5th game to give the type of effort he's capable of. Looks like it's more than just a few fans sick of it. He's a beast when he's engaged. |

Russell is 21, but yeah he's proven already.
Ingram and Zubac at this point are still projects. _________________ My Dream Starting 5 next Season

Ingram because of his physical abilities.
His length is unbelievable, he has good hops. In theory he will be able to shoot over everybody (has of course to get his shooting technique right).
Zubac probably has the highest floor. It's crazy what number he is putting up as a 19-year old without much burn. He has a high Bball-IQ and does many, many things right. Will be a good, good player for many, many years.
Russell: High floor as well - will at least become an above average starter, probably fringe all-star. He has to shoot better percentages. If his shot is respected more, it will open up driving lanes he could then use to find better passing angles.
Randle: Hard to say. He has a lot of tools. But he simply isn't a smart player. He does a lot of things intuitively wrong - he is the anti-Zubac, bad fundamentals.
He is a wandering mismatch because of his quickness, strength and speed - but he doesn't exactly know, how to use it effectively.
That he doesn't know how to set a proper pick, how to roll or pop, how to rotate on defense is mindboggling. |

I think d lo is the better player now, but in terms of prospect, given the physical tools BI brings I think he does more if he maxes out his potential |

Russell has a good chance to be 20/6 as a 3rd year player..that's uh, pretty good.
Still couldn't choose between him and Ingram.. Finger slipped on Ingram |

1-Zubac: Has skills, IQ and no glaring physical limitations
2-Dlo: Has skills, IQ, lacks effort and physical tools
2-Ingram: Lacks strength and fundamentals, has high IQ, works hard and plays the high way
I gave up category: Julius Randle. I was never a fan of big guys without a soft touch, shooting or post skills like him and D12, it is painful watching a bull in the China shop getting his through raw power, but it is the lack of effort/awareness on D that makes it insufferable. |

Our #1 prospect is probably Ingram. But the best player (right now) among our prospects is DLo.

Zubac's physical advantages and limitations for his position are the same as DLO's. |

Our highest potential guy today is Ingram and not just because he's the youngest one. He seems willing to work on his game harder than anyone, and he's probably the best athlete here for basketball.
Russell's more developed today but there's cumulative indications of his also being rather more close to being fully developed - and as a result not a high impact player- compared to Ingram. A year ago, I'd estimated Randle to be our highest potential guy, but he's made a poor impression since. I don't care for for his defensive savvy and nor his lack of improvement in terms of effort. Clarkson is not showing much sign of fulfilling his physical high potential.
Zubac is showing signs of becoming a decent center and as a result - in today's game, a profile of being incapable of being a high impact guy for the franchise down the road. Only the truly three or four gifted centers of this league today aren't invisible impact-wise.
