You aren't making your own starting 5? :P

C - Dwight Howard
PF - Amare Stoudamire
SF - Kevin Garnett
SG - Kobe Bryant
PG - LeBron James

In terms of career, Kobe, but coming off highschool in his first year in the NBA, gotta be LeBron.. Right from the start, he showed greatness..

That's what separates LeBron from other players coming off highschool in their first year.. With a body like LeBron, and the skills he has, the Cavs immediately gave him the opportunity to play a big role for the team.. He showed that he doesn't need 2-3 more years to develop into a star..
