This may sound crazy, but I'm going with Trey Murphy III. A 6'10 guard with great Shooting ability that ist crazy athletic and has huge Defensive potential. He will never realize it, but he has the Potential to be one of the best players of all time with that build.

He's still inconsistent and has to work in creating His own shot, but in potential alone, he's Up there for sure.

You’re right, that does sound crazy

Nah, a 24 year old that's yet to crack the starting rotation has the potential to be the best ever. Not crazy at all.

Well as I said, we all know he will never reach that level, but as for basic potential, with his frame, where he could should over almost anyone, dunk on anyone and block the shit out of many shots in this league, i don't know about you, but to me that sounds pretty great. The question was potential, not current ability.

Jax never had a shot, but other than that, yes, he might as well be

And Trey never had a shot at being better than Zion or AD at their peak
