i don't know. i like his skills, quickness and tenacity but i just don't know. i get why everyone raves about his upside but if we end up with a top 10 pick and don't pick brandon knight or kemba walker because we "feel good about bayless" i will literally go apeshit@sweatpantsjer

I don't see him as an all-star. There are just too many good point guards. In the East, what, Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo, Darren Collison and John Wall are all likely to become all-stars ahead of him. Further, all of those players are still getting better. Bayless would have to get much better now, and then continue to get better faster than those four before you would be able to consider him an all-star candidate at the point.
Only way it can happen is if he takes over the starting job (a given, I suppose, if we're talking about all-star candidacy) AND the Raptors can get their record to the 50 win plateau. Then, sure, starting point on a 50 win team, with the way that he plays (ie, not like Fisher, for example, or Bibby) and he'll be considered. So it's as much on the Raps as it is on Bayless. All we can do is wait and see.

For People who votted for All-Star, Look at the list below, these are you all star PG in the league:
Rose, Nash, Kid, William, Rondo, Paul, Wall, Parker, WestBrook
Do you really think he is going to be as good as these guys?
Now, a Solid Starter:
Curry, Stucky, Miller, Nelson,Billups, Collison, Evans
Do you really think he is as good as the guys I mentioned even as solid starters?

The poll was 'How GOOD CAN he become'? Looking at the plays he's made since his arrival, if he got the oppourtunity and the starters job, it is in my opinion that he very well COULD be an all-star.
Billups and Nelson were ALL-STARS already.
Curry and Evans will be future all-stars, furthermore, they play in the Western Conference. Much like Chris Paul, and Deron Williams, and Steve Nash, and Tony Parker, and Jason Kidd, and Russell Westbrook.. I could go on, but you get the point.

His current PER as I write this is 23, which is all-star level, and probably top 20 in the league at-large. He did not get this same opportunity on his previous teams. I think he should be started until and unless he plays himself onto the bench. He's so explosive that he destroys defensive game plans. He draws fouls like a magnet draws metal.Last edited by Brandon; Thu Dec 2, 2010, 06:06 PM.

Many experts picked him high in the draft after going over all his stats from college and watching him play the pro scouts who
understand what to look for in a player, saw the intangible bb IQ and Bayless has it. Wheather he becomes an all star or not he
will play like an all star for years to come, for us.
He is the bright future.
He seems to know how to break down a defense, he knows when to go to the hole and lay up, he is not afraid of the three,
he breaks out faster than JOSE, he is also a shooting guard, he is fast, he can hit the jumper, etc.

Evans and Collison are way over hyped and way over rated. Bayless is better than both of them.
Bayless is a far better distributor and shooter than Stuckey. Stuckey is a better defender.
I think Bayless at this peak will be better than Miller is now.Avatar: Riverboat Coffee House 134 Yorkville Ave. billboard of upcoming entertainers - Circa 1960s

However the most cogent point of what you posted is that Bayless has a high basketball IQ and if I might add just like Davis does.Avatar: Riverboat Coffee House 134 Yorkville Ave. billboard of upcoming entertainers - Circa 1960s
