Best young inside-outside duo in the league? - Message Board Basketball Forum

I'm going with Thompson and Evans of the Kings.

Both of these guys are growing as players every week. They are both making huge strides in their games.

What two young guys would you take to start a franchise with?

Roy & Aldridge... although Roy is 25 right now, and if that doesn't qualify, it's Mayo & Gasol.

hmm.. OJ and Marc? They're putting up good numbers, I haven't seem them play enough though

G-train · 12-23-2009, 05:07 PM

Lebron and JJ Hickson

Bogut and Jennings if Bogut is not 25.

This they have the best two man game easily. Just a sign of how good theyll be together just look at big brothers Kobe and Pau. Last time i checked we beat the Kings badly. last time i checked we are moving in the standings like wildfire. We would be the 5th best team in the east record wise tied with Miami

We beat you guys hold the series tie breaker.

Boozer and Williams.. both are relatively young. I couldn't see both of them being over 28.

OJ and Marc/Randolph looks promising as well but I've always had my doubts over Randolph. Someone who produces that much in fantasy yet always has his team under 30 wins doesn't seem right to me.

That's not how it works.

The Grizzlies are 1.5 games behind the Heat no matter which conference they are in.

it's obvious it's a kid. any long time fan of the NBA would know that loss column comparisons are all that really matter.

George Hill - 23 yo - 10 PPG, 2 APG, 2 RPG, 1 SPG - .43 FG% and .78 FT%)..... in 25 mpg.

DeJuan Blair - 20 yo - Among rookies he's first in FG% (60.5), second in RPG (5.5), fourth in BPG (0.5)..... in 15 mpg.

Not going to bother adjusting per 36 or 48 mpg, but this young duo is looking pretty good in the minutes they've gotten. I'm sure Blair will be a 10 RPG player with enough playing time, and George Hill could probably be starting for the Spurs right now (and some other teams) if Parker wasn't around.
