Of all the current non-superstars in the NBA Jonathan Bender has the most potential. Look for a breakout season this year. Also, how comes all this Bender hype is crap but the Darius Miles hype is ok? WTF has Miles ever done? I'm suppose to think Miles is a greta player just because he did a magazine ad with Q? I dont think so, Benders got much more potential than Miles. You all will see, I'm always right. Bender 2002-2003 M.I.P future - Superstar in 3 years

Bender has tons more potential than Miles. Benders more athletic, 4 inches taller, bigger and stronger, and is on a whole different level when it comes to shooting. Also playing time is a huge facotr with Bender, and don't say it isnt. There was no way the Pacers could play a 19-20 year old Bender his first few seasons, years the Pacers were leading contenders for the title when they had vets like Dale Davis, Jalen Rose, Reggie Miller, and Chris Mullin. On the other hand look at Miles, he gets drafted into one of the NBAs worst teams at the time, and no doubt about it THE all-time worst team, LA Clippers. Ofcourse he's gonna get plenty of playing time there, who else are they gonna play? Eric Piatkowski? Come on man, damn. Anyways, 2002-2003 WILL be Benders break out season. Also, when Bender was coming into the league he was compared to Kevin Garnett with Reggie Miller-like shooting ability, and from what I've seen so far he's well on his way to living up to the hype.

IMX, you're way off man. What does Quentin Richardson have to become a superstar? Having squinty eyes don't make you a superstar. My man Al Harrington has more potential than Q, he was putting up better numbers coming off the bench for the Pacers in less PT than Q, Al's also got top 10 defense, something Quentin doesnt have. Al would have been unanimous vote for 6th Man of the Yera had he not been injured. Also sure Ricky Davis is a pretty good player who's pretty dman exicting, but there's no way he's ever gonna be a superstar, ecspecialy not playing in Cleveland. He'll be a star on the Sean Elliott/Toni Kukoc level but he wont be a superstar. DaJuan has no defense but I guess that doesn't matter anymore so idk I guess he'll be a superstar. LeBrons already a superstar, damn. O'Neal's just inches away from superstardom, if he has a good year this upcoming season he'll reach it. Griffin looks damn good and even though he's over looked for guys like Jason Richardson and Tyson Chandler, he could end up being the best player form last years draft. Tysons look's like he'll be very good though he looks akward on the court but idk. I dont think Curry will ever be a superstar. Maybe a star on a Dale Davis type level but never a superstar. Darius Miles could become a big time player, but he still doesn't have half the potential of Bender. had Bender been in the same draft as Miles I'm sure he would have went #1 overall to the Nets, would have gotten lots of playing time playing for their at the time extremely weak team, and would already be a star. Remember, Bender wnet #5 in one of the strongest drafts ever, the 4 guys who went ahead of him were: Elton Brand, Steve Francis, Baron Davis, and Lamar Odom. Miles went #3 in maybe the weakest draft ever, going behind Kenyon Martin and Chris Mhim (I think).

Harrington will be better than Richardson. he doesnt need any cool little nickname either, he's as good an offensive player, a much better rebounder, and a much better defender. Eddy Curry will be lucky to be as good as Dale Davis, Dale Davis is a former all-star, I doubt Eddy Currys overweight *** will ever make an all-star team. Benders rookie season the Pacers went ot the Finals. Miles rookie season the Clippers went to the lottery. enough said there. I've alreayd prooven while Bender will be a better player than Miles. Miles has nothing on Bender, seriously. What can Miles do better than Bender? Nothing. Bender's a 7'-7'1" SG, that's crazy. Bender will be better than Miles trust me.
