Ok, let's say there is a draft of current nba players, lebron and Durant goes one and two, if you were next who you draft with the third pick? And why? Let's say the players are stil in there prime though.

Then Lebron, KG, Duncan, Durant.In this fantasy are players magically 100% healthy? Because if that's the case my pick would be Westbrook.
Given that you went Lebron and Durant one/ two I feel the question should be a fantasy draft with the players in the league in 2014 at their current age. If that's the case I think I'm choosing Anthony Davis. I usually go for a winner with killer instinct, but I don't see many young guys with that (just ask Pacer fans). I am a huge Kevin Love guy, but I think in a year or two Davis will be a more significant piece than Love.
The league is in a huge transition period right now. It really is Lebron/ Durant and everyone else. We are about to see a huge wave of HOFers walk away (Kobe, Duncan, KG, Dirk, Pierce, etc) and a new wave of players needs to step up.

Anthony davis has a great future, he's young long and athletic. he's a up coming star in the future to come. I mean would you pick him ahead of KG in this sort of draft if you knew that he'll get better and better each year, and lets say by year 5-6 he does just as great as KG did in this prime? so this is the point i was getting too. Just some thoughts and opinions, just trying to get some interesting answers from everyone.
