We got KG and Ray only because we had great young prospects and a top draft pick. Also a player we gave up the 7th pick for, Telfair, never gets mentioned much. It does not matter how they turned out, it matters what they did to make people believe they would be great players.
To get stars we will need more young prospects that have star potential, and they would need to show some glimpses of it. Right now we only have these for possibilities:
smart
James Young
rozier
hunter
Back then: we also had HOF PP
Rondo
Al Jefferson
Sebastian Telfair
Tony Allen
Gerald Green
#5 pick
Maybe Perk, not really tho
and Im not gonna list all the guys that were young role player types like Delonte etc
We need a lot more young prospects if we are going to pull off getting the stars needed for a championship.
Too bad, we could have added this guy to our current list, had we not hit some lucky buzzer shots, and still prob have gotten Rozier(he prob would have slid maybe to 28 but prob not, we could have packaged our 2nd rounders and 28 to get him)
This is the type of prospect that has the makings to be what we are talking about: A guy with star potential and has shown the necessary amount of glimpses/flashes to get people's imagination flaring up.
