Depends on how they do in college. Don't think they are good enough to go straight there. If they show at all in college some team will take the chance. I predict at least one will be a regular player in the NBA but niether will star.

I don't think Jeffrey will, even though his dad is trying to help him get more exposed by putting him in the Jordan Classic. I've HEARD that Marcus is supposed to be the better of the two and actually pretty good and I think he is like a freshman in high school so he has a chance. They may get to big name colleges, I sure would take them whether they are good or just ok simply to have MJ around the program and more than likely, donating to the program. That also may get them more exposure so you never know. Honestly the NBA honestly should look into getting at least one of them, if not both, into the league. Why? Marketing, economics! They may not be good enough to last but it sure might draw crowds and increase ratings for people to see MJ's son(s) in the league, think about it!

No way! They both will be mediocre college basketball players at best. They show no potential and have so much fundamentals they need to work on to even be decent college basketball players. Just because your father is Michael Jordan doesn't mean you will make it to the NBA, and no NBA team will take them just because they are MJ's kids. There would be no financial gain whatsoever if an NBA team was to get them. Another example of a former great player having a kid play is Patrick Ewing. His son, Pat Ewing Jr., plays for Georgetown(his dads alumni) and he won't make it to the pros either unless he drastically improves between his junior and senior year.

Without a doubt at least one of them will go. Most likely both. You can get pretty far just by having a famous parent. Some team will love to make money just from the novelty of having Mike's kid on their team.
As far as how well they'll do; I can imagine them being some of the generic "ok" players that never do anything big. They will probably be just as good as an average player as long as they keep trying. That being said, anything less than being a star will be a failure for them because of who their father is. It's not fair, but true.

At least one will make it to the nba but he will not be very good. He will hop around from team to team and the only reason he will stay in the nba is because he is jordan's son

Maybe, but only because MJ is their dad. Eric Gordon ran the court all over them and straight out destroyed them when Loyola played North Central on ESPN Mj's kids only had 4 pts each and gordon had like 43 ..they also air balled at least 2 of them haha

I think that both of them will but they will have to play with the same passion and intensity like the real Jordan.

yes but i think they probably would not score more points like micheal jordan did micheal score almost 60 points a game.

not a chance...neither is particularly talented...jeff is going to be a freshman in college next year and no big schools are recruiting him. he'll end playing some small D1 school in illinois. marcus, i havent gotten as much of a look at, but i know he is not being heavily recruited either.
