That's over a year old. When that list was made, Rubio hadn't entered the draft.

Ah, thanks. I assumed they would upgrade it once every 6 months. Silly me.

And why would you assume that?

I'd personally assume they wouldn't link irrelevant information from the past

Because they make money by getting people to view their website.

How much do they make exactly? And why would the fact that they make money lead you to believe they should update that particular section every 6 months?

Ha, leave alone you big bully. it was a stupid, slightly immature comment and a poor assumption (several players on the list are in the NBA), but no one deserves your berating MNWI, save that Talkbasket/KWSN guy

Gee, are you playing dumb or being serious? It's hard to tell.
People read websites for their content. Updating that content more than once every 18 months is a good way to encourage people to read it and therefore view the ads on that page, which generates revenue. This is a basic concept that applies to all media: internet, radio, print, or TV. They then make money by advertising on their content. If you want to know how much money they make from advertisement, by all means google it. The interweb has answers to many easy questions like that.

You sure know how to be a condescending prick on the internet, it's too bad you know nothing about basketball.
I would say, based on my prior relationship with Draftexpress, that during this time of year they have higher things on their priority list than updating those particular rankings. The overall quality of the content on that site is unbelievable considering everything they have to put into it for very little in return. Sooo sorry they aren't up to your standards.

MNwi, you work for them or something? Seems like an odd thing to get all bent out of shape about. Last time I checked people are allowed to complain, especially in internet message boards. If you do work for them, good work and I enjoy the site.

You know, if you send Jon a tweet or an email he'll probably do you a favor and upgrade the rankings sooner rather than later. He's a good guy like that. I'm sure he's aiming to do it after the season is done over there.
I wonder if Pekovic would be #2 after Rubio.

I would think they would be a bit more active on updating various things, like the list Narf mentioned, but seeing that they are the best site as far as giving updates on players - and they give Synergy stats, a major plus - I cut them some slack.
I think Splitter would be #2 after Rubio... but that's only based on limited knowledge of both Splitter and Pekovic. Childress would be #4 for me.

People still love Tiago Splitter quite a bit I think.

Especially odd because they value the Draft Express opinion, and would love to see what they think.
DX is my favorite site for this kind of information, and I'd love to see their current ranking of foreign prospects.
Nobody's going to care if hoopshype's info lapses, because people don't value them. I didn't think anyone was being a prick.
