Which Player Will Have Most Succesful NBA Career?

[NkuRoyal31]

This is the poll currently on espn.com's front page so I thought I'd go ahead and post it on here to see what people think. The options are Meeks,Curry,Griffin,Hansbrough, and Harangody.

I think most can agree we can write off Hansbrough and Curry. I think the the other 3 will all have pretty successful careers, but I'd say Griffin is the best suited for the pro game.

I voted for Griffin on here but on ESPN I voted for Meeks. I feel like with his body and quickness he is built for the NBA and his shooting has improved to another level this year.

Griffin could come off the bench for any NBA team right now, and start for a few! I'm not so sure about Meeks. While he played a heck of a game against UT, he won't get that many shots in an NBA offense. I think he can play at that level, just not as sucessful as some of the UK faithful will hope for. Hansborough could be OK with a lot of tweaking to his game. He won't get all those foul calls. Harangody will be a force inside if he can body up bigger guys. I want Curry to be sucessful, but I just don't know that he will.

Griffin hands down.

Couldn't disagree more with the bolded. You may think that, but I doubt "most" would. You don't just write off someone with the work ethic and drive of Tyler Hansbrough. Just like you can't "write" off someone with the shooting stroke and name of Stephon Curry.

It's amazing to see the publicity that Meeks has recieved from that performance on Tuesday night.

 

This time last week, you wouldn't see his name on a list like this. It will be interesting to see how he responds.

So does ESPN think Meeks will be a top 5-10 pick or what?

Hansbrough will never be more than a role player in the NBA. He won't get all the calls like he does in college, he won't be bigger or stronger than everyone like he is now. He out physicals guys at the college level, that won't happen in the NBA.

No way. Not this year at least.

I agree, I told a friend the other day how I didnt see him being a NBA star or putting up huge numbers. I think he comes off the bench and gives you some minutes and a little scoring and thats about it.

Oh, I agree. Just wondering why he would be on such a poll. I mean they know or should know enough about sports to know that 1 or 2 games is not going to make a career.

This is a tough one. I can make a case against them all. I guess the weakest would be against Griffin, so I'll vote him.
