Young borderline all-star SF's - how would you rank them?
There are several young SF's(under age 26) with all-star potential. All have good size and athleticism while bringing different dimensions from each other.
Leonard probably plays with the most grit and shoots better from outside than he looks and is a very strong defender.
Batum is probably the most athletic and can shoot from outside as well and is more versatile than Leonard.
Parsons is as versatile as Batum and while not being as good as Leonard or Batum on defense he can get hot from outside probably better than them.
Harris doesn't shoot as well as guys mentioned above but plays the biggest and is a great rebounder at both ends.
Hayward posted rather unspectacular shooting numbers while being asked to carry a lot of load on offense on a team that lacks offense and he still averaged the most assists.
Kawhi Leonard -12.8 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 2.0 apg, 52% FG, 38% 3pt
Nicolas Batum - 13.0 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 5.1 apg, 47% FG, 36% 3pt
Chandler Parsons - 16.6 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 4.0 apg, 47% FG, 37% 3pt
Tobias Harris - 14.6 ppg, 7.0 rpg, 1.3 apg, 46% FG, 25% 3pt
Gordan Hayward - 16.2 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 5.2 apg, 41% FG, 30% 3pt
At the moment I'd rank Batum, Leonard, Parsons, Hayward and Harris in order with Batum having the highest ceiling as well. Your thoughts?

Nicolas Batum
Kawhi Leonahrd
Gordon Haward
Tobi Harris
chandler Parsons
the last two are one way players and Parsons whole game consists of shooting open threes and transition. he cant score in the second half of games for shit

1.Leonard
2.Batum
3.Parsons
Leonard is the best defender and the most atheltic out the 3
Batum isnt more athletic
Leonard on the Blazers would put up 18 8 3

Leonard
Batum
Parsons/Hayward
Harris
And yes, I only grouped Hayward and Parsons because they are both white.

PArsons is super overrated.
he is elite in no category and his stats are meh because he plays 40 minutes a game.
he can literally only score in transition or when no defense is played on him.
he disappeared in EVERY second half in the playoffs.
could be hardens choking influence tho

Re: Young borderline all-star SF's - how would you rank them?
Leonard
Batum
Hayward - I don't really know where to put him since he's a #1 option (not a good #1) and the rest of these dudes are role players, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and stick him in the middle.
Parsons
Harris - For now, he's last just because he's putting up good numbers on bad teams.

Batum and Parsons have arguments over one another but I like Batum's rebounding ability.

I watched him some pre-knee injury. I feel Leonard & Batum are better overall players. Hayward vs. Gallo is interesting debate. Gallo is a better shooter, but Hayward's D is better. For pure play-making, Hayward probably also better. Doesn't Gallo get paid same as Batum? I like Batum better on that deal, honestly.

people think gallo is a bad defender just because he's white?
durant called tony allen and gallo the two toughest defenders in the league. how bout that
gallo also has a great shooting stroke, great playmaking ability for his size and the superstar ability of getting to the FT line
