Best "Young Cores" for the future? (Top 10)

[mellow]

Cleveland has the best player (Irving) and two guys who can rebound above average and finish above %50 fga. I'd take that core over every other listed.

I'd trade Waiters if he didn't show vast improvement next season--his CJ'edness is too high. (High use rate low fg%)

I absolutely LOVE our young guys, but i think that irving will end up being a superstar and the best point guard in the league in a couple years, so i have to pick cleveland.

Cleveland is #1 but the Jazz are #2.

Irving is fantastic, but I'm just not high on the rest of their young core. Overall, I like the Jazz core better.

Cleveland for Irving alone. He's the only guy up there that has shown superstar potential. And I think Waiters has shown potential to be good as well

Wow, and I thought I was a homer..obviously Clev is the best core at this moment. Might change later, but for now, CLev, then I actually think the Jazz are up there right behind them.

Tough choice, but I gave the nod to Detroit over Utah. I think Drummond & Monroe is the only tandem of young bigs that is more promising than Kanter & Favors. Detroit also has a very young Brandon Knight, who could be very good. Harden & Parsons are both VERY good, Houston's future looks bright if one of their bigs evolves into a borderline all-star.

The one thing that slants the poll is that in many cases, the 4th player listed is a scrub: guys like Ezeli, Singler, etc. Make it the best young 3 and Utah drops a bit, IMO.

I don't. You win with studs in this league. Guys with A/A+ talent. We have a bunch of B guys.

I still think Favors and Kanter will become studs. The best post duo in the league one day.

I mentioned it but forgot to write it in paranthesis "a true scorer who goes to line easily,either can put the ball on the floor or shoot behind the arc " (Harden)

Oh OK thanks. I believe he is amazing and I wonder if he can get even better.
