Likely Hall of Famers

Klay Thompson: Arguably one of the best 3-point shooters in the history of the game.  With three titles and a couple of NBA records under his belt, it’s likely he makes it, but only if he continues to shoot lights-out the rest of his career.

More from Blue Man Hoop

Draymond Green: Defensive Player of the Year and fills the stat sheet every night, but more importantly, the anchor of one of the league’s best defenses for years.  Like Klay, he’s not a lock right now, but he’ll have to keep up his elite defensive level of play for the rest of his career to make a trip to Springfield probable.

DeMarcus Cousins: His jersey is actually already in the Hall of Fame.  But to be fully inducted, he’ll need to come back strong from the injury and average his usual insane numbers on whatever team pays him the max next year.  As one of the best scoring centers in the game, he definitely has a strong argument as is, but playing well after the Achilles injury will do no harm in strengthening his credentials to ensure his enshrinement.

Andre Iguodala: Finals MVP, a defensive mastermind, 3-time NBA champion, and Olympic gold medalist.  He’s perhaps on the border right now, as he doesn’t fit the traditional description of a bona fide NBA superstar.  But since he’s also consistently one of the most important players on the team, Steve Kerr seems to believe he’s already a lock for the Hall.  

He may be an unconventional pick looking at his numbers and a lone All-Star appearance, but he’s definitely built a strong case.
