[Big Game Player]

A lot of people around here seem like they are giving up on DJ. I think he's going to have a very nice year.

 

prolly a Hummer.....especially if he lives around Akron, Ohio........lol

[youknowme]

That's a hell of a top 10...

I was kinda surprised to see Lofton quite that low. This season will decide exactly where he winds up in the NBA.

 

I agree, I think after another great year he will move up a considerable amount.

[PutMeInCoach]

Beasley should be number 1.

[youknowme]

Lofton = Steve Kerr

[bigblueinsanity]

Lofton = Steve Kerr

 

 

No way..Chris can be a star on his team. I know Chris and he will work his butt off to get better.

[The Breeze]

Lofton = Steve Kerr

 

Not all bad here, Kerr had a very good run and look where he is today, top position with the Suns.

[youknowme]

No way..Chris can be a star on his team. I know Chris and he will work his butt off to get better.

Wow...

 

Kerr was the man. He won what, 6 titles??? Made SEVERAL big shots in those title series But okay...Go be a star on your own team & don't win a title. :thumb:

[Kingfish Stevens]

Mayo is #1. Excellent. He has proven that hard work, determination, and a strong will to succeed pay off. Although some would disagree, he deserves it.

Mayo is #1. Excellent. He has proven that hard work, determination, and a strong will to succeed pay off. Although some would disagree, he deserves it.

 

He has also proved that poor attitude, selfish play, and me first mindset does not combine t make a "W". No way he goes before Beasley.

 

 

What is Derrek Jasper even doing on the list? I didnt even think he would be good enough to go once he graduated, much less after his Frosh year.

[buzzer beater]

Kind of surprised that Lofton is that low. He isn't having that great of a year though. Caracter could be a little higher..Walker at 32 is about right...

[HammerTime]

How Kevin Love was not even on his radar is amazing.

[Gator_Fan21]

Yeah Kevin Love should be in the top 20 somewhere on this list.
