    3. Luol Deng
    4. Ben Gordon
    5. Andres Nociani
    6. Devin Harris

    I haven't seen most of this year's rookies play at all, so that's about as deep as I can go in ranking them. It's been a pretty quiet year for the rookies compared to the last few we've had.

    I can understand most of that....but how do you put Devin Harris over Ben Gordon? Devin Harris averages less in pretty much every category. His FG% is lower than Gordons. His 3PT% is lower than Gordons. The only thing he really has on Gordon is starts and steals. Turnovers, you really can't say anything about because, even though he averages less, he also gets about 12 minutes per game less than Gordon.

    I agree with everyone except Devin Harris and Ben Gordon should switch IMO.

    Well I haven't watched much Mavs-Bulls game this season. But from the ones that I've seen, and what I have watched and seen, Devin Harris has had a bigger impact in his teams win. As an individual player, I can see Gordon as the better player. I really haven't seen many of their games this year, so I'm going to have to go with you on that, being that Gordon has been the better rookie this year.

    Ok....yea. Duhon over Gordon? Nocioni over Gordon? Smith over Gordon? Harris over gordon? Bonnter over Gordon? Do you just hate Gordon that much, or have you not seen the Bulls play? Gordon has been phenomenal for them. He's helped them in winning all their games and is pretty much responsible for two of their wins. Nocioni hasn't done too much for the Bulls lately. He's kind of disappeared since he has been put to the bench. Beyond that, Nocioni is only better in one category that I can think of off the top of my head, that being rebounds. His FG% isn't as good, etc. Duhon....all he does is get assists. His FG% is terrible, PPG aren't that great. Pretty much...all he does is get you assists, as he's not that great at anything else thus far in his career. Josh Smith...stats are worse....team is worse...don't understand that one. Pretty much the same with Bonner.
