The NBA has quite a few great young teams, that are all hopeful to be contenders down the road. My question is where do we rank legitimately?
Minnesota has probably the most hyped group with LaVine, Wiggings and KAT. It is fair to say that KAT is a surefire superstar and Wiggings at the very least a hell of a Robin and at least a star in the NBA.

"Everyone knows my love for the Lakers. Over the years, I have considered other management opportunities, however my devotion to the game and Los Angeles make the Lakers my first and only choice. I will do everything in my power to help return the Lakers to their rightful place among the elite teams of the...
