Why would you talk about him in here?</div> What are you talking about? The Kid is only 16. He can be eligable for the 2006 draft at the earliest. Oden Wants to goto college but says he might be forced to go to the Pros straight from HS.

No way P.J Tucker and Daniel Gibson will be top 5 players this year(welcome back TwinTowers). They will be freshman and sophmores with huge impacts, but no way top 5 players. They still have to develop some of their unpolished skills. Maybe next year or the year after they will be on this level but not yet.
Here is a suggestion for your 5 spot Buckets; Lawrence Roberts. Also you can move Hakim up and take out May, and replace him with someone like Julius Hodge. Also my number one honorable mention would probably be Eric Williams. He is so strong and has the ability to dominate the post, against the best.
Eric Williams is NOT an honorable mention IMO. How is he? In the past he hasn't been productive much at all. He finds himself grabbing cheap fouls which are costly to his time on the court. He also has a lack of a mean streak, which means he is soft and not that agressive. Also, I would take Felton and May off of your list. They are good, but not worthy of being top 5. My suggestion, take out May and Felton, add Julius Hodge, Lawrence Roberts, and Wayne Simien.
Uh, how am I hating you? I gave my opinion on Eric Williams, that's all. I don't see why your taking offense.
Yeaaah, showing more love to Sean Banks. He's going to be the man for Memphis this year. His 20 point, 11 rebound night was only a preview.
1. Chris Paul - Wake Forest 2. Wayne Simien - Kansas 3. Hakim Warrick - Syracuse 4. Raymond Felton - North Carolina 5. Lawrence Roberts - Mississippi State 6. Rashad McCants - North Carolina 7. Ryan Gomes - Providence 8. Sean Banks - Memphis 9. Julius Hodge - North Carolina State 10. Ike Diogu - Arizona State Just missed out : Chris Thomas, Notre Dame...Francisco Garcia, Louisville...Jarrett Jack, Georgia Tech....JJ Redick, Duke....Daniel Ewing, Duke Why does everyone have Villanueva so high? He really hasn't done anything yet. He let an unknown recruit (Josh Boone) take his spot. He was a top 3 prospect coming out of high school. Before people list him as a top 5 player, he needs to prove something. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">He's okay, but top five is a stretch. The game that Memphis won last year was not just him. They also had Burks (now in the NBA), Carney (projected first rounder), and a few other great prospects. Besides, they weren't playing anyone THAT good. </div> You do realize that you had Banks at #4 on your list on page 1. They still have Carney, and they brought in a great player to replace Burks, Darius Washington.
