Re: Best player potential wise?
Those two whom you named are the two I think have the physical ability to have the best NBA careers, along with Corey Brewer
Brewer has so far to go offensively, it doesn't seem realistic to assume he'll become a great ball-handler and scorer. Gerald Green is far, far better in those areas than Brewer. That said, Brewer plays with the intangibles (and the defensive tangibles, for that matter) that Green shows no understanding of whatsoever. They are both terrific athletes, even by NBA swingman standards. One thing that worries me about Green is that he is in his third season and the complaints about him are the same as they've always been: that he isn't learning quickly. Considering his only real problems are mental, that's a big issue. So maybe I give Brewer the edge on potential, even though you could say he has farther to go.
Jefferson is just scary-good. He is better right now than I thought he would ever be when he was coming into the league. He's very impressive, and if he learns to make good reads passing out of double teams and to defend better, he'll be an absolute monster, an ideal post player.
