Simple question...we have all these "Blazer Babies" (no I am not talking about Miles ) Who of our young guys do you think is the most likely to develop into a star in the NBA.

Telfair, Jack, Blake (semi young), Outlaw, Khryapa, HA, Webster?

With all the talk about "developing" young talent I am curious as to whom everyone thinks will actually breakout and attain that "All-star" status.

I honestly dont see any of them developing into a "star" like Garnett, Kobe, etc. But I do think Telfair, Outlaw, Jack, and Webster have the ability and desire to develop into very good players, like a Hinrich / J.Richardson for example... just a step below a "star", but still capable of being part of a championship team. Viktor could become a very good role player. Joel is also a role player, but better than your average "role player".

IMO its Webster...

Did anyone else think that fade away jumper he shot over Artest last night looked kind of "Jordan-esque"?

Agreed that shot was buttery smooth..and they way he elevated to shoot over Artest was impressive.

Off topic: I think I hate the Kings even more now that they have Artest.

I agree a lot with what B&B said. I don't think any of them will be uberstars, but very good players that will make an all star team or two in their careers.

Telfair, Jack, Webster, Outlaw, Khryapa to me are all worth building a team around. If we can add a superstar typw player to that core I think we will be ok sooner than later. At worse if things continue I think that group will be in the playoffs year in and year out.

Telfair has the charisma and media friendly smile to be a superstar, but I think he will end up shy of that
Jack will end up a very steady point guard with a chance to be like a solid player in the league for a long time
Webster could be really special, but it's too early to tell
Outlaw will never be a superstar, but it's not out of the realm of possibility that he will be a 15/6 guy for his career
Khryapa is another 15/6 type of a guy that will play for a long time because he does a bit of everything.



Blake is a career backup IMO, Randolph....still young by the way is what he is, a scoring forward not a star but maybe an all star in a different conference. Ha will never be anything but a scrub. I like the kid and all but he will be lucky to average more than 8/5 for his career.

The best chance at being a star is Webster or Telfair.Telfair needs to work on jumpers and he could be a step below a star a less accurate chancy billips or jason terry maybe?Webster could develop into a mike redd type player.
