Who has the best future - Rose / Wall / Irving / Stephen Curry / Lillard ?

While the league currently lacks quality back to the basket big men, there are lots of great young playmakers. How would you rank those 5 players in terms of future accolades / performances? For me it looks as below.

1. Kyrie Irving
2. John Wall
3. Derrick Rose
4. Stephen Curry
5. Damian Lillard

I don't want to see Wall anywhere above #5.

To me:

1. Irving
2. Curry
3. Rose
4. Lillard
5. Wall

Rose is only 3rd because his future w/ an ACL tear like that is up in the air, especially because one of his biggest assets was his athleticism and we don't know how he's going to recover from that injury.

Irving and Curry are pretty close, with Curry being better right now. I do see more upside with Irving than Curry, with Curry's ankle issues and just Kyrie performing like this at such a young age.

Wall is the least impressive of the bunch. He needs to work on a lot of things to catch up to the rest of the group. He's the best passer, but only marginally better than Rose and just a step better than Curry, Irving, and Lillard. High turnover too, so maybe not even the best passer of the bunch, just the most risky passer.

1. Irving
2. Curry
3. Rose
4. Wall
5. Lillard

This list is based on future numbers.

I'd have curry at number 1, except his ankle is plastic. Plus he plays a more traditional pg roll w/ an uptempo team. Rose is the dark horse here because he's coming back from injury. Wall has the height advantage over all these guys, so in a h2h matchup I see him excelling, but he seems to never live up to his potential. If things work in his favor and he gets out of WAS he could move up. Lillard is right in the thick of things here, but based on potential, he's a little more average than the other 4 guys. Lastly, kyrie Irving. It looks as if he's been in the nba longer than any of these guys. Just very poise. Other than curry, he's the only other guy that can give you '12 assists' in a classic 40 point game.

No offense but :lol @ anyone having Curry at #4 let alone top 3, he's lucky to even play a full season. The same (so far) goes for Irving.

1) Lillard
2a) Rose
2b) Wall

What??

Curry has missed 14 games over 3 seasons, and has had one injury plagued season.
Rose has missed 4 games over 3 seasons, and has had two injury plagued seasons.
Wall has missed 13 games over 2 seasons, and has had one injury plagued season.
Irving has missed a bunch of games in the past two seasons.

Huge difference. :rolleyes:

lol @ some poster not putting Irving at the top.

Irving was already on a different stratosphere as a 20 year old. Beside from Rose's MVP run (undeserved but a great season nevertheless), Irving's first two years >>> Lillard, Wall, Curry up to this point in their career/

Irving - 21 (birthday 3 days ago)
Lillard - 22 (23 this year)
Wall - 22 (23 this year)
Rose - 24 (25 this year)
Curry - 25

Rose has missed many more games than Curry. We need to get passed the past.

Torn ACL ≠ jello ankles.

why isnt goatbrook on this list? :biggums:

oh i understand, you didn't want it to be a runaway :cheers:

1. rose - already has an mvp, could get more if he ever comes back and bulls get him a 2nd star
2. curry - great shooter, got his shitty college team to the final 4
3. lillard - already has the 'it' factor. numerous clutch shots
4. irving - clutch as hell, bad defender though and injury prone
5. wall - show me more, like the 47 pt game he had. his team needs to start winning, just like irvings

Irving
Lillard
Curry
Wall
Rose

Um, Curry is already better than all of those guys and is improving every year.
