Top 5 Favorite College Players in 2005 1. Hakim Warrick - Syracuse 2. Matt Walsh - Flordia 3. Josh Boone - UCONN 4. Ronnie Turiaf - Gonzaga 5. Charlie Villanueva - UCONN and Isma'il Muhammad (GT), Ronnie Turiaf (Zags), and Mustafa Shakur (Zona)
Hello, god how did you guys not know brown graduated, hes on the Wizards summer league team, and it looks like he'll make the Wizards regular season roster.
It's funny how many have Villenueva on their lists instead of Simien. Simien is one of the favorites for player of the year. And this is basically just like the 1st team of All-Americans.
But with Rudy Gay coming in, as one of the top ranked SF's in this class, I don't really see Villenueva's season becoming any brighter. You know that Boone will get plenty of minutes at the PF spot. And st SF, Villenueva's spot, there is Rashad Anderson and Rudy Gay, plus Villenueva. Unless Anderson moves to SG, I see Charlie's future the same. I've heard, though, from an article from ESPN, things are really looking up for Charlie and that he's a changed man.
Hakim Warrick, Nate Robinson, Rashad McCants, Lawrence Roberts, and Julius Hodge. In no particular order. Chris Paul, Ryan Gomes, Ike Diogu, Sean Banks, Daniel Ewing, and Wayne Simien could all easily be on the list.

I'm prolly going to get killed on this but what the heck... I really thaught he was one of the best pure point guards in college. NOt in terms of stats or anything, but his courtvision,passing, leadership and D were all good or great...

If you have to make these lists though, at least do them right, and don't rank the players by their NBA potential - list them by their actual talent as an NCAA player. Like this - 1)Julius Hodge 2)Wayne Simien 3)Hakim Warrick 4)Sean Banks 5)Ronny Turiaf/Chris Paul/Raymond Felton
