By talent, G-Milwaukee, Embiid, and Len is one two three but if drafting Embiid would be down the list because health concerns. A healthy Embiid would have been a better center than shaq. Seeing he’s not healthy with already several injuries _________________ How can I get a copy of a Laker game played on Sunday, March 11, 2001 Sonics/Lakers? If you know PM me please
Damn, that's a lot of young talent. I picked Giannis by a hair over Leonard, Davis, and Embiid. But Porzingis, Towns, Kyrie, and Simmons are all awesome talents.
If we define "promising" as showing/doing more than they already have, I go with Embiid. For him, the one issue is health. (While some of those other guys, like Towns and Davis, are great, I feel they've already fulfilled their promise, and they might not have much more upside
Very close at the top... Kawhi, Freak, Embiid, A.D.
Then I'd go Porzingis, Towns, Simmons, Kyrie.
Simmons is going to be the best passer of the past 20 years imo, but still will need to be able to shoot to be an MVP candidate

Kawhi, Kyrie and AD are established. You can't picture AD doing any better in terms of numbers, just in terms of health. Kyrie and Leonard are champions and performed at the highest stages, they have rings. Well, maybe Kawhi has some more to show as DA MAN.
Anyway, Kyrie Irving is the best player on this list. So my list is from the most promising to the most established.
Ben Simmons
Imbiid
Kristaps
Giannis
KAT
Kawhi Leonard
Anthony Davis
Kyrie Irving
I hope Magic and Pelinka ask themselves this question every day. And don't daydream about overpaying old guys like LeBron or Melo... just to get the two max contracts in...
Leonard and Giannis are both top 5 players in the entire league. AD and Kyrie are both top 10.
KAT, Embiid, Simmons, and KP are all in the same category of potential future top 5 players, but they're all really young and still have things to work on.

It's Giannis. Thought AD would progress with passing and expand on his game more, but dude keeps getting randomly hurt. _________________ Resident Car Nut.
love AD & Kyrie but both were #1 picks and expected to be outstanding,
but Giannis is amazing he development,where he was drafted what he can become.. if this young man were playing in a major market ,lets just say our beloved lakers have been on national T.V more times this season then the Bucks.
