Heres my list

1) Antoine Walker: as above
2) Kobe Bryant: as above
3) Stephon Marbury: stardom looms, he'll be the leader of the 3-star
Wolves
4) Grant Hill: as above, but 4th
5) Keith Van Horn: awesome player, white, already the leader  of the
Nets
6) Shareef Abdur-Rahim: future super-star, if he leaves Canada, will
move up list
7) Shaquille O'Neal: not skill-wise but definitely in the way of media
hype
8) Tim Duncan: as above
9) Ron Mercer: will be the surprise of this list and could go above
Toine
10) Ray Allen: awesome talent! I love watching this guy light up the
highlight films!
11) Michael Finley: if he was out of Dallas, he'd be up the list some
what!!
12) Penny Hardaway/Chauncey Billups/Allen Iverson/Damon Stoudamire:
Hardaway the present, CB the future, Iverson if he cleans act up, and
Stoudamire depends where he ends up!!
