    Durant at 8? His injury maybe?

    Did I miss Derrick Rose? If DRose is in the top 7 after all his injury, wtf?

    Love (and Westbrook?) better than Durant? Also- if Rockets have 2 top 10 players, why did they get bounced in the first round?

    Because ESPN doesn't give a shit about defense either.

    It wasn't "ESPN" that made the rankings. i believe it was a large group of analysts from around the country who ranked each player 1-10. Then they were ranked by average score.

    Until LA becomes a NBA ALL DEF kind of player or Howard is not healthy, LA deserves to be slightly below Howard.

    Funny. When we had the #1 pick, Noah was considered a joke.

    Its weird cause he is the exact same kind of player he was in Florida. The hyper active effort player with excellent defense. His offensive game has gotten a lot more refined but it just shows that hard work and effort can make you a star.

    In fantasy value sure, as an actual player not yet. He is going to put up stats but how much is he going to actually impact the game, he can't really create for himself and while showing flashes of being an ungodly beast on D he is still learning how to play D in the NBA. I'd put him #3 if were talking about player value, since that will factor in his age, because he is going to terrorize the league for the next 10-15 years.
