I'll be very interested to see if, come next year, any of our players are in the top 100.

Similarly will any of them be recognised as top 5 players at their position in the next 2-3 years? Bismack maybe? MKG, with an improved shot, possibly?

Ramon Sessions rated higher than Hendo? I don't see that at all.

Thats the Lakers effect, if anyone plays for them they instantly become better.

a few of our toung players have the ability to be in the top 100 in a couple of years, MKG, Hendo, Bismack and kemba all have the talent

I just dont see Gerald Henderson advancing past his current skill level. But you guys have faith in him ..and thats good, but.. i think his ceiling is reached

I don't think he's going to turn into some 25/5/5 player, but I think he has a little more room to improve.

He's already one of the best rebounding guards in the league and is a great defender. He's also efficient and plays within himself. He had a pretty damn good season last year all things considered so I would have to imagine he could do a little bit more with a better surrounding (notice I didn't say supporting) cast.

The problem I see with him is that he's not much of a first option guy and would benefit as being a supporting player who does a lot of little things (something like a rich man's Tony Allen or Sefalosha). Unfortunately, he's not a great spot up shooter so he losing offensive effectiveness unless he has the ball or is coming off screens. If he can add the ability to shoot the three reliably (+100 makes on ~33%) then he would be an awesome 2nd option. If not, then I could see him phased out for the likes of a Shabazz Muhammad, Andrew Wiggins, or other top guards

He might not improve that much, but I believe he'll do better this season than last season because the team around him improved. He's not the only who can score anymore which should give him better shots.
