I’m gonna jump on the bandwagon and say Big Al.

We are talking about CAREER averages here. Al’s stats are sitting on 14.9 and 8.5 as of the end of 08-09.

Al is 24 now and due to the fact his game doesn’t rely on athleticism I can see him playing another 12 years. If Al keeps up his stats from last season (which i think he can improve) over that period he will be looking at career averages of 21 and 10.2.

Obviously in his last few years those stats could dip but i think that he could improve them enough over the next few years to council that out.

blake griffin must be the one.he will get the ball close to the hoop as much as he wants giving him better percentage than most.he will be the frachise player for years to come.he has the power and body mass to get to the rebounds.living in denmark myself i must be a good candidate to win the shoes just for being the one who will have the hardest task of showing up in cherry hill myself.

Al Jefferson

Al has a hunger for boards and has the post moves to work around any big man in the league. His knee injury might make him a little shaky, but his skills are already set and you can see what you’ll get.

I know someone already chose big Al (hope that doesn’t disqualify me), but did they mention that Converse is their favorite sneaker? Didn’t think so. Er, I’m not claiming its my favorite sneaker… I’m just saying.

I had to choose a diamond in the rough (because Blake is just to easy) I would say DeJuan Blair.

Granted he is on a squad where he won’t see the ball a lot in regards to plays made for him. He will get most of his work off of whatever he gets.

Still I’d say if somehow he gets traded in the next two years for any various reasons. On the right squad where he is more of a lead player he can easily be a 20-10 guy.

Everyone knows the rebounding part will be easy for him with his tenacity for getting after the boards.

Point wise he knows how to use his frame and will learn even more than he already has in regards to scoring that will allow him to get the 20.

DeJuan Blair, you heard it first.

I’m going to say by boy Anthony Randolph- dude is 6′10″ and is a freak athlete. He is playing in the Warriors sytstem which is designed for anyone to get buckets. Last season ( his rookie year) he averaged 8 ppg and 6 rpg in under 18 mpg. In one season at LSU as a freshman he 16 and 9 and was a double- double machine- expect more of the same once a adjust to the NBA and gets more minutes. He has shown he can get to the basket and get rebounds in the preseason this year- averaging 11.7 ppg and 7.4 rpg in 27 mpg. The man can run the floor, shoot, or finish with a dunk- recipe for 20/10 in the future

I will most likely be ridiculed for posting this and my chance of winning might be thrown out the window, but i truly believe that Yi Jianlian can be a 20-10 player. After two below average seasons posting around 8 ppg and 5 rebounds in 24 minutes for teams who already had all-star caliber players (ie. vince, harris, redd, a similar and more accomplished player in Villanueva during his rookie season). To add on to my reason why he can breakout for future 20 and 10 seasons, Yi is no longer a timid NBA player and has recovered from previous injuries, he has 2 years under his belt and in a rebuilding Nets squad, he has been given the green light to showcase his skills at the PF spot. His skill are not a question anymore after helping the Chinese squad with a Yao-less squad in the FIBA Asia Cup, Yi proved he can be the go-to-guy. In a game against Jordan (i know JOrdan, right?) he put up 29-18. In his first game he gave the favored to win australia 30. His ability to shoot the ball has always been there, but talk out of china is that now he is also attacking the hole. He has also prepared himself physically by adding more muscle and hopefully his summer success helps him mentally. He averaged a double- double this summer with around 18.3 ppg, 10.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks. If Yi transitions his summer play to the NBA and steps up his game considerably, he could even win Most improved player award. With the Chinese fan base now cheering for Yi, he might just have something to proof to himself, not just the Nets. Yi’s time is now!
