Coaches: Which high school player will star in the NBA? (CBSSports) - Tigers2B1 - 08-13-2014 09:42 PM

CBSSports.com college basketball writers Gary Parrish, Jeff Borzello and Matt Norlander spent the July recruiting period at various NCAA-sanctioned events, where they talked with coaches from all levels.
It's obviously hard to predict the future, especially when comparing what players of different ages and classes will do five or 10 years down the line, but that's what we're asking college coaches to do. Do they go with the freakish 7-footer with an extremely high ceiling or the skilled forward who is guaranteed to put up big numbers immediately? The ridiculously athletic guard or one with an advanced skillset? Potential or production?
This one doesn't deal with an issue surrounding college basketball and it's obviously not a yes or no question. Let the debate begin.
Which current high school prospect has the brightest future as an NBA player?
⦁ Ben Simmons: 34 percent
⦁ Thon Maker: 19 percent
⦁ Jaylen Brown: 8 percent
⦁ Ivan Rabb: 8 percent
⦁ Malik Monk: 5 percent
⦁ Josh Jackson: 4 percent
⦁ Diamond Stone: 4 percent
⦁ Malik Newman: 4 percent
⦁ Skal Labissiere: 4 percent
⦁ Others receiving votes: Jayson Tatum, Troy Brown, DeAndre Ayton, Stephen Zimmerman, Seventh Woods, Harry Giles, Derryck Thornton Jr., Cheick Diallo

From the videos I have seen, I think Thon Maker is going to be a perennial NBA All-Star. Kid looks like a Kevin Garnett clone.

Garnett was better at the same age, much better

True, but he still has that rare combination of size and speed that KG posses (or used to)
Once he develops though....look out

Only 4%? Not bad IMO considering the question and the number of players being considered.

In the two games I saw in the July period his brother looked the better of the two. Maybe Dedric wasn't playing his best or KJ was --- or both.
