Yes, a highlight video will change our mind. Anyone can look good with highlights.
He has poor form on his jumpshot, doesn't create much room with his first step, handles are poor, crossover is slow as hell.
He will be a bust unless he improves these areas of his game.
Where are you getting this from? Have you watched him in more than highlights or a few all star games? What else do we have to judge him by except rivals.com and some highlight tapes?

From the highlights you have provided and some previous viewing. He is not going to be the allstar most of you expect if he doesn't obtain and work on some of those fundamental skills.
Keep in mind that he is just a teen carter entered the league when he is already 20. So dont expect this kid to be like carter when he enters after his freshman season . I do think he can be a very good prospect am not saying he will be better than carter but he has the hops to begin with.
Lots of guys in high school put up those kind of stats. And I don't believe the fg numbers one bit.
I've said it several times here, the class of 08 is one of the weakest classes in years. Don't expect any of them to set the world on fire like many of the freshmen this year did.
Demar Derozan is a more talented player than Gerald Green, and I think he is going to be a top 5 pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.
The Nets have one of the best GM in the NBA, and they aren't going to draft a player just because he is an explosive dunker.
I'm rarely impressed by highlight reels of guys dunking against other high school players. If you made it to NBA on hype you'd have guys like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9drNlclSzE getting drafted everyday. Show me some game footage where he isn't on a breakaway against some boys, then I'll be impressed.

What do people want? A video of the kid dunking on an NBA player? He's 18. Name a high school player anywhere, ever, where you have footage of him dominating NBA players. Not rumors or hearsay, footage.

Well Youtube has only been around for about 4 years maybe.
I think Michael Finley destroyed Jordan in a HS game back in the early 1990's.

You mean when Finley was in HS? There's rumors everywhere. Bryant schooling Jerry Stackhouse is another when Stackhouse was playing for Philly. But was there anything about Rose, Beasley, etc. schooling NBA players out of high school?

Im sure there is some video of Lance Stephenson schooling someone because he plays against a lot of NBA players during tournaments over at Rucker.
