POB != Randolph.
Lets hope Mully does not sign any min vet FA to block both Randolph/Wright's development.
Guess Thorpe used POB/Wright/Bellineli as his reasoning. Prove him wrong Nellie.

given his actual comments, I have to conclude he is ranking them strictly by *rookie year* output. By that standard, it seems about right. Randolph has a shot at being special, but I expect a rookie season like monta's.

His rankings are jacked...
Rudy Fernandez #3....Gallinari #7...Lopez #8....everyone 15-20...he has even got guys playing in Europe next year before Randolph.

He has a point... Because Don Nelson won't give him playing time. When he tears it up in the D-league, Don Nelson will bring him back up like he did with POB and ruin him like how he did to POB.

His rankings aren't about long-term value, they're about who will be better next year.
Randolf is a bigger project than Wright was last year - if anything I might have put him lower. For next year I'd take Hendrix (ranked too low by that scale) over Randolf.

Greg Oden.... uh.
He is no rookie. Oden signed his contract last year.

Oden will qualify for rookie of the year running.
