Isn't Vince Carter sure fire 1st ballot?

[footey]

Anthony Davis too.

[Who]

Not sold on Melo or K-Love as HoF locks. Melo scored a lot of points but he underachieved in terms of team success and his game has fallen badly in recent times. Kevin Love was a big stats no wins player in Minnesota and then declined badly in Cleveland as 3rd/4th best player on team.

Pau Gasol should be moved up to 100% tier. Led Memphis to playoffs, 2nd best player on two title winning teams and a Finals loser. Huge accomplishments with Spanish National team. Aged reasonably well in Chicago and San Antonio.

[Birdman]

Anthony Davis too.

Im saying right now..if Davis doesnt play another game then he is probably not a 1st ballot

[GreenEnvy]

VC and Pau are every bit as deserving as Dwight and Love, if not moreso.

And Steph Curry is a glaring omission. He is first ballet already.

Isn't Vince Carter sure fire 1st ballot?

Not in my book

Jayson Tatum - 1rst ballot

Jaylen Brown....not first ballot

Marc Gasol - Doubt it, his resume isn't strong enough to be considered.
Pau Gasol - He should definitely be in the 100%.
Vince Carter - 100%
Chris Bosh - 100%, people will question his longevity, but he brought championships to the Heat, and made plenty of sacrifices, but at one point was the franchise player for the Raptors.
LaMarcus Aldridge - Resume too weak.
Zach Randolph - Resume too weak.
Al Horford - It might be blasphemous to say, but if Horford can achieve Allstar status 2 more times, and lead us to the ECF, and maybe win a championship, I could see him having one over Marc Gasol.
Mike Conley - No way
Derrick Rose - Absolutely not.
Rajon Rondo - Needs to make at least 2-3 more All Defensive teams, and maybe secure 1-2 Allstar while potentially having 8-10 APG to boost his stats for the next 4-6 years.

One foot in the door: (keep playing like they are for nother 5 years then they in)
Anthony Davis - He will definitely be in the future.
Demarcus Cousins - Has the potential
John Wall - Has the potential
Klay Thompson - Absolutely, one of the greatest shooters
Kawhi Leonard - Has the potential, and is borderline on the cusp of HoF. Needs to have 3-5 more solid years, with 1-2 Allstars/ and 2 All-Defensive to be considered.
Karl Anthony Towns - Has the potential
Jimmy Butler - Weak resume
Greek Freak - Has the potential
Damien Lillard - Has the potential
C J McCollum - Probably not
Paul George - Has the potential
Andre Drummond - Probably not
Gordan Hayward - Has the potential
Kyrie Irving - Just need a few more solid years, and I can see it.
Goran Dragic - No way
Kemba Walker - Probably not

My thoughts basically.

Not sold on Melo or K-Love as HoF locks. Melo scored a lot of points but he underachieved in terms of team success and his game has fallen badly in recent times. Kevin Love was a big stats no wins player in Minnesota and then declined badly in Cleveland as 3rd/4th best player on team.

Pau Gasol should be moved up to 100% tier. Led Memphis to playoffs, 2nd best player on two title winning teams and a Finals loser. Huge accomplishments with Spanish National team. Aged reasonably well in Chicago and San Antonio.

What? Melo may have been underwhelming in his success for post-season, but he's most assuredly going to end up in the HoF. Denver Melo was a problem. And Kevin Love?

I mean look at both of their resumes...

Love
    NBA champion (2016)
    5× NBA All-Star (2011, 2012, 2014, 2017, 2018)
    2× All-NBA Second Team (2012, 2014)
    NBA Most Improved Player (2011)
    NBA All-Rookie Second Team (2009)
    NBA Three-Point Shootout champion (2012)
    NBA rebounding leader (2011)
    Consensus first-team All-American (2008)
    Pac-10 Player of the Year (2008)
    First-team All-Pac-10 (2008)
    Naismith Prep Player of the Year (2007)

Carmelo

    10× NBA All-Star (2007, 2008, 2010–2017)
    2× All-NBA Second Team (2010, 2013)
    4× All-NBA Third Team (2006, 2007, 2009, 2012)
    NBA scoring champion (2013)
    NBA All-Rookie First Team (2004)
    NBA Rookie Challenge MVP (2005)
    NCAA champion (2003)
    NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player (2003)
    Consensus second-team All-American (2003)
    USBWA National Freshman of the Year (2003)
    No. 15 retired by Syracuse
    3× USA Basketball Male Athlete of the Year (2006, 2008, 2016)

Melo is 98.2% HoF probability on Basketball-reference, and even though he's been a ball hog. He's been one of the deadliest scorers, won in college basketball, and been a scoring champion. All second/third teams definitely boost that percentage.

Love? He's very close to be honest. He just needs to nail 2-3 more Allstars. (Which I can see happening if the Pacers or another East team tries to trade for him, and he plays in the weak East, as it's easy to make it into Allstar.) Maybe secure 1 or 2 more All NBA teams, but he's pretty close. He's the quintessential stretch 4 in today's NBA, whether or not you wanna discredit his lack of defense as a key selling point for why he shouldn't make it.

Jayson Tatum - 1rst ballot

Jaylen Brown....not first ballot

Jason has toe in door.

Jaylen has toe nail.

I called em first

[Birdman]

Yea i be shock if Love and/or Melo are not 1st time

[celticsclay]

can someone explain how Lebron has no help and Cleveland would win 20 games without him, but Love is a first ballet hall of fame and is 29?

[droopdog7]

The third list looks better than the second one.  It would be more interesting to have just two lists; one of future hall of famers (that obviously includes Anthony Davis, duh) and one of borderline players that won’t make it (for arguments sake, Kevin Love).

That way, someone like Ben Simmons could create some good discussion.
