POLL Rank the Best Young Rosters in the NBA!

[WiggyRuss]

Any reason Isiah is not on the list but AB is? As I don't sleep on Celtics French freak. Also does defense count? Many of these guys are lost on D

he is 27...i dont have anyone on here over 25...and then only a couple 25 year olds even....

 

[Mecca]

1. Wolves

2. Bucks

3. Jazz

4. Pistons

5. Lakers

Sixers, Suns, Denver, Celtics.

Lakers have a lot of young talent. Jazz has more and the other Teams I ranked higher have one guy who looks like he can dominate right now. Towns, Greek Freak and Drummond....Lakers don't have that.


Does NOLA not qualify?

Can't put Philly top 5 when I haven't seen Saric, Embiid even in Summer League and Simmons is more interested in highlight passes and scared shitless to shoot.

That kid oozes talent. But, he's gonna make Mudiay's many turnovers look like nothing. Make the simple Fucking pass already.

 

[SpringStein]

Nuggets are my #7- Murray and Mudiay has a chance to be a very good back court and they compliment eachother nicely

If you took a vote of die hard, cued in Nuggets fans - Jokic would be the overwhelming choice of players with the most upside on the team. Because he is a Euro and drafted in round 2, most NBA fans are unaware of him.

 

[GNG]

A. Timberwolves: Karl Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins, Chris Dunn, Zach LaVine, Shabazz M, Gorgui Deng, Ricky Rubio

B. Sixers: Ben Simmons, Nerleans Noel, Joel Okafor, Joel Embiid, Dario Saric, Robert Covington, Nik Stauskas,

C. Lakers: Brandon Ingram, DeAngelo Russell, Julius Randle, Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr.

D. Suns: Devin Booker, TJ Warren, Archie Goodwin, Dragan Bender, Marquese Chris, Alex Len, Brandon Knight

E. Nuggets: Jamal Murray, Emmanuel Mudiay, Jusuf Nurkic, Gary Harris, Will Barton, Nikola Jokinc

F. Magic: Nikola Vucevic, Aaron Gordon, Elfrid Payton, Mario Hezonja,

G. Bucks: Thon Maker, Giannis Anttetakuempo, Khris Middleton, Jabari Parker, MCW, Tyler Ennis,

H. Pistons: Henry Ellenson, Andrew Drummond, KCP, Tobias Harris, Stanley Johnson

I. Celtics: Jaylen Brown, James Young, Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier, Avery Bradley, a ton of young lesser prospects (their fucking roster is showing 22 guys on ESPN- lol...some are FA's though- like Sully)

Rank 1-9.

The Bucks and Timberwolves have the best young talent.

 

[GNG]

I agree this is very debatable, but I think Minnesota belongs at the top because they have Townes who is on the way to superstar status and Wiggins who is already nearing all star level play.

Giannis is the other guy of everyone listed who has demonstrated superstar upside in NBA games. There are many other nice players on the list, but only two that have shown the ability to dominate at the NBA level.

Just think how athletic the Bucks core would be if Larry Sanders were still there and interested.

The Bucks are just one player away from contending for the NBA Championship.

I wouldn't go that far.

Outside of Middleton, they have nobody who can shoot. That is pretty important. They would need to add two or three quality players to seriously challenge Cleveland and Golden State.

I disagree.

 

[LogicMan]

Check out which teams have the worst defenses. Minny is a sieve

 

[tlance]

I disagree.

If by contender, you mean 2nd best team in the East, then sure. If you mean good enough to challenge Cleveland, then that player would need to be somebody like Durant.

Not necessarily.

Maker had 17, 17 with 2 blocks.

Not bad.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Maker had 17, 17 with 2 blocks.

Not bad.

holy shit.....

thank goodness the Raptors drafted that stiff backup center...

what the hell? the bucks are gonna have him and giannis together? thats insane.

that being said- it is summer league...the title match was the Lakers vs. Sixers wasnt it? lol...

 

[tlance]

Not necessarily.

If Maker develops, then they could be in 3-4 years without adding another star. Still have a lot of growing to do.

They are getting close now.

 

[wildturkey]

It's the T-Wolves. Towns alone puts them Top 3. Not hard to put them on top of the mountain when you add in the rest

Lmfao......yeah.

But, I expected him to struggle against grown ass msn.

He's done pretty well considering this is probably the highest level of talent he has ever faced.

 

[Mecca]

They need shooting in the worst way.

But, they have stupid size at every position and their bigs might be better playmakers than their pgs.

 

[LambeauLegs]

Thon Maker the new Rookie in his first 2 D league games

Bucks rookie Thon Maker sets a high standard at summer league

Game 1 = 13 rebounds and 15 points
Game 2 = 17 rebounds and 17 points

not bad for a 19 year old

 

[True Lakers Fan]

First: the Twolves

Last: the Lakers

If that is true - then how is it that the Lakers summer league team is 3-0 already?

Have you actually watched any of the games?

Rank 1-9.

Why is Wiggins from two years ago being compared to Brandon Ingram who was just barely drafted a few months ago? The Lakers team is 3-0 this year in the summer league - Hello?
