    ESPN’s Thorpe Ranks the Rookies

    <small>September 20, 2008, 4:54 am</small> David Thorpe writes ESPN’s weekly Rookie Watch. In his first preseason ranking, Thorpe has Brook Lopez at #9, Chris Douglas-Roberts at #27 and Ryan Anderson at #28. Thorpe writes Lopez will need to develop “his touch shots from 5 to 15 feet off the pass from penetration” if Lawrence Frank’s dribble-drive motion offense is to succeed. He’ll also have to “mix in his back-to-the-basket stuff”.

    Can't take this too seriously. He is basing his ratings on three games he watched at Orlando and on the deadline he had to write something. If you click on "more ..." it says that Anderson and Brook need more body strength and have lousy games when their shots don't fall. :sigh: Me too.

    No, three games he watched in UTAH, all of which the Nets lost.

    thats about right. I think Lopez has a shot at the all rookie 2nd team actually. Oden, Love and Beasley will be on the 1st team most likely
