I agree with all of those except for Lawson. I think he will be a valuable player and will step in and be great next year. I'm not worried about his size.

Lawson isn't as good as Raymond Felton, who isn't in the same area code as great.

with Kobe just beginning to get older and Wade becoming a walking injury, is there anyone that will be able to slow down Lebron? I don't see any Euros or college kids that are remotely close to being able to dominate the NBA. Am I missing anything? I don't even think Lebron is as good as advertised, but there just doesn't seem to be anyone that will be competing with him the next few years.

Also, surprised to see that Henderson isn't on this list. I've seen his name popping up between 10-15.

How many games did Dwayne Wade miss this season?

if Dwyane Wade can make it two successful seasons without missing significant time, i might change my tune. i'm not ready to call him ok after just one season. But back to the actual question please.

Fall down 7 times, stand up 8. Flash will be fine.

Kobe's nowhere near slowing down, Wade had as good a year as anyone this season, Carmelo Anthony is the best all around offensive player in the NBA, Dwight Howard has just scratched the surface(I'm pretty sure I saw his team eliminate LBJ's in the playoffs), and Portland has the best collection of young talent the league has seen in years. Absent major upgrades to his team, LeBron isn't dominating anything.

It all depends on whether LeBron gets a superstar teammate, whether that be at the Garden, The Izod Center, or the Q.

i can't disagree more with Dwight Howard. the rest of his team was just far superior to the Cavs. I keep waiting on Melo to step up and get mention with Wade, Kobe and Lebron, but it never happens. I think Kobe definitely begins to start fading. Agree to disagree.

I agree with those players being overvalued with the exception of Thabeet. There aren't too many guys out there who are 7'3" 265. Not to mention he's only been playing the game for around 7 years.

I've never been overly impressed with Thabeet. He's at best a poor man's Mutombo.

I can't really say I've heard Tyler Hansbrough being valued at all by most. Or am I living in a bubble?

Either way, the kid was all heart in college, not to mention, an excellent college talent. Also one of my favorite college players of all-time. But there's no way in hell he plays pro ball in the United States at a semi-decent level.

Tyler Hansbrough is the next Mark Madsen.
Hansbrough might be lucky enough to get on a good team so he can dance after they win the Finals.
