RE: The Under-24 All-NBA Team

in #nba7 years ago

This is spot-on. I think Devin Booker might be a level up (yes he's on a bad team, but that means he's probably the focal point of the opposing team's defense every night...at age 20...scary). And I have nothing to base this on after playing zero games last year, but my gut tells me that by mid-season Ben Simmons is going to be claiming his spot on this list.

Sort:  

Booker definitely could become a superstar, and I think his 70 point game shows he has the stuff to be a scorer, my question is whether he can do the rest of it. Can he defend? Meh. Can he make his teammates better? Meh, maybe, but I'm not sold. I would love to be proved wrong with Booker though.

Ben Simmons will definitely be a stud, I don't have any doubts about that, I just want to see it before I crown the dude. Same goes for the rookies that will be stars (Fultz, Lonzo, Tatum).

I think you might have your next article topic! Never too early for ROY predictions. Fultz, Lonzo, Tatum, Josh Jackson, Simmons (still eligible)...maybe Dennis Smith, Jr. or De'Aaron Fox from what I saw in Summer League. I could make some decent arguments for all of them. Actually, I could make an argument that Fultz might be the lowest on that list!

I think you might be right ;)
