What are the best basktetball hotbeds for young talent in the country now a days, a long time ago i would say NY & LA dominated it, not anymore i would argue, DC and Chicago are great areas as well.

A lot of scrubs; Dee Brown, Melvin Ely, Janero Pargo, Steven Hunter, Corey Maggette (not totally a scrub), Tony Allen, Bobby Simmons, Alando Tucker, Will Bynum, Anthony Parker, Luther Head, James Augustine, Nazr Mohammed, Brian Cardinal, Shannon Brown, Sean May (sort of), Zach Randolph (I think?), Julian Wright, Michael Finley (was great)
We don't produce talent like other areas of the country...the Celtics may be the best franchise in the NBA, but our local talent isn't up to par with the likes of places like NYC, Philly, Georgia, Texas, or California.
Mark Aguirre, Tim Hardaway, Nick Anderson, Dock Rivers, Juwan Howard, Jeff Hornacek, Isaiah Thomas, Walter Bond, Randy Brown....the ones in bold are really scrubs
KG is from Mauldin, South Carolina. He only spent one year in Chicago...credit goes to SC for that one.
Don't trip we don't want him Ronnie Fields made KG when he was at Farragut
