im not sure what qualifies a player as a super star, but i can see drummonds name being mentioned with other super stars. granted, he develops some go to post moves and improves his man defense. he'd be a nasty player then

bradley beal has that potential too. i can see him being one of the league leaders in scoring at some point.

I must have a different definition of a superstar. There's a difference between a star and superstar. There's only a handful of superstars in the league today.

A franchise centerpiece and someone who can control the game on both ends of the floor consistently.

Its cool. Going by your other posts in this thread about a player being top 3/4 at their position, then yes I can see Beal/Drummond/Kawhi being top 3/4 at their positions.

Adams is at best gonna end up as Omer Asik. Not star potential.Could've just said that instead of bolding it to death lol

LOL at Barnes.
He gets underrated and forgotten because he doesn't get PT.

He has good in-game athletism, can finish through contact, can play 2-4, can guard 1-4, has a good J, and is still young and can develop his ball handeling.

He is as good as he's gonna be, basically the evolution of Bowen

You know there are ONLY like 4-5 superstars in the league at the moment, right?

Kevin Durant
LeBron James
Dwight Howard
Kobe Bryant
Blake Griffin somewhat

Y'all honestly think some of these guys will reach their level?

I define superstar as someone who can be the best player on a title team, in that case, not a single one of those players fits the description.

Maybe Oladipo but all of the others could be future all star but no superstars.

If we're talking purely potential, then my picks are Giannis, Bradley Beal, Andre Drummond, Brandon Knight, Kawhi Leonard, Victor Oladipo, Tim Hardaway Jr.

Realistically, the only true superstar out of those guys is Giannis. Knight will be a perennial All-Star, but not quite a superstar.

Perry Jones III, Bradley Beal, Harrison Barnes, Andre Drummond, Brandon Knight, Kemba Walker, Kawhi Leonard, Victor Oladipo, Otto Porter, MCW, Steven Adams, Kelly Olanyk, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Shane Larkin, Tim Hardaway Jr.?

To start, I'm gonna list my starting five from this group:

PG- MCW
SG- Beal
SF- Barnes
PF- Olynk
C- Drummond

Looking at these guys, Drummond is the closest to All-Star level flat out. He's already getting 13 points and 12 boards a game. MCW looks impressive too getting 17 points and 6 dimes. It's a golden era of PG's, but his size I feel make him a unique threat to shoot up the charts in the future. And Beal reminds me of Mitch Richmond in terms of his size and scoring skillset. He's putting up 17 PPG a night. Due to lack of depth at the SG, currently, I can for sure Beal becoming one of the top 2-3 SG's in the L in the next 5 years. So my top three for a safe bet are Beal, Drummond, and MCW

they gave him control of a shitty team with no other talent on it, he has the ball so often his stats are inflated. at least IMO

he can be Phillys PG when they get good in 3-5 years but he wont ever make an ASG, let alone be a star.

I believe...
Bold - have potential to be the best player on title contenders, and best sidekicks in the league if paired with real superstars.
Red - have potential to be the best players on playoff teams, and best 2nd/3rd options if put next to other stars.
Underlined - good role players/6th men.
