Wroten is part of the HS class of 2011 ( upcoming senior), he is going to be a top 5 pick in the 2012 draft. Then that gives him 3 seasons to establish himself as a top 8 pg in the league. Drose did his in 2, there isn't any reason he doesn't have the ability to do it in 3.

    Where Steph Curry, he should statistical be the best if he stays in that run and gun system?

    Brandon Jennings didnt do too well in euro league, all euro league does is shackle the talented young player, just so the josh childress's of the world can make all team.
    Rubio was hyped as the best PG in euroleague so how did they 'shackle' him?

    Navarro is like a top shooting guard over there

    I'm just saying...it seems like you fall in love with players through highlights and youtube and scouting reports and numbers...have you seen Wroten play a full game?

    Who is Wroten? I have heard a few posters saying he is the next big thing? Is he like John Wall meaning he has more flaws in his game turnovers, can't shoot etc, yet people look past that because of his crazy high school youtube?

    I've only seen highlights as well.

    Never heard of him until A6'4"mamba started putting his name on lists of PGs that are already proven commodities.

    He has talent but all division I players look like Jordan when playing in HS, esp. ones that play in weak areas.

    I dunno what, but majority will be new, like coming after this year, with Rondo on top, and Rose somewhere along the top 3

    This thread is a joke. Rondo is already scratching Top 4 this year. He is 24 years old.

    In 5 years he will be 29, at his prime, and he falls 3 spots down?

    At that point he would have more confidence/experience/ and a better arsenal of skills.

    If he is currently top 4 with the likes of Chris Paul Deron Williams and Steve Nash, I don't see how he will regress with the above mentioned experience.

    If he plays at is currently skill level in 5 years, he would still be top 4. If he improves (which he most certainly would), he would easily be top 3.

    1. Chris Paul
    2. Derrick Rose
    3. Deron Williams
    4. Tyreke Evans (if considered a PG)
    5. Brandon Jennings
    6. Rajon Rondo
    7. Stephen Curry
    8. Westbrook



    I dont understand how people can include names like John Wall in this list when he hasnt even played in the NBA yet.

    lol The point of this thread was to make bold predictions of your own, not crucify me over mine.

    Yet everyone else is too ***** to make a list of their own.

    It's a bold prediction based on his upside. A lot can happen in 5 years, for all we know, all 8 of the people on your list could have career ending injuries and the list could be 100% different within that period of time. But at least I'll respect you for actually trying instead of ONLY criticizing my opinion like everyone else.

    Really? I thought it was to make predictions based on logic, current stats and potential. Mind me.

    Deron, Chris, Rose, Rondo, Curry, Evans, Westbrook, Brooks.
