I said "in five years". He isn't one of the top players in the League right now, but if I'm drafting players I'm projecting the next 10 years or hopefully 10 plus. The NBA is filled with guys who make a lot of money in their first contract and never really improve. MKG is the antithesis of that. He will continue to get better year after year while guys like Thomas Robinson will drop from the league.
MKG will struggle to be top 5 just from UK PRO....much less in discussion for MVP in the league in the next 5 years or 10 years.
What does it matter while guys like "Thomas Robinson" will drop from the league? As they are never in discussion for most valuable player in the league....
Davis will be front runner for MVP. Then you still have other guys from UK with huge potential like KAT, Cousins, and Wall. I don't see MKG ever passing those 4.
Then you got other UK players who are also improving a lot like Bledsoe, Knight, Noel, and Kanter. Is there guarantee that MKG can out pace the improvement of these 4?
Then you look at future superstar that we don't even know. Labissiere for example? He could become a major star.
Then you got guys like WCS, Lyles, Randle, and few other who can grow into a nice NBA player.
This is just UK Pro...
Then you got other guys like Wiggins, Parker, Irving, Okafor, Russell, etc. etc. who could become really good players...(some already are..)
