Rank overall and each individual area:

Shooting: Brewer

BBall IQ: Ricky

Defense: Ricky

Athleticism: Brewer

Potential: Brewer, helped his ceiling more cuz I knew Ricky's was high before the improvement.

Strength: Ricky, His upper body improved a lot...although Corey wasn't shabby in this area.

Leadership: Ricky

Are you ranking who improved more in those areas, or who is better in each of those areas? And if it's who improved more, how do you judge if someone "improved" their BBIQ or potential?

Overall I would say Brewer, though. I think he was playing for his career this season, and he proved that he belongs in the NBA.

Brewer. I don't think you can improve much more than Brewer did in only one season.

Comparing a few video clips and newspaper articles versus watching Brewer actually play games is injustice and would merely force me to make up an answer ... however ... the point can be made is that once Brewer got stronger, his capabiliiesy increased rapidly. As the Rube gets stronger, he will make his move as well and thats why I'm anxious for him to come here in 2011. He will be a fascinating player.

Lots of people continually criticized Brewer for his production based on where he was currently - zero vision.

The Rookies of the year in the NBA are typically more ready, physically. I believe Curry will develop and make a huge move in the next 1-2 years and become a special player.

Brewer. Rubio isnt even in the NBA Yet. He has no clue what the competition is gonna to be like.
