David Thorpe of ESPN.com, your boy NOT mime, has posted he Top 20 list for rookies in 2008. A key absentee from his list happens to be the Sixers pick at #16. Normally, you might want to get mad and upset over such a thing however... this is a blessing. You see, last year... the rookie expert didn't include Thaddeus Young on his Top 20 at the start and didn't have Young crack his Top 10 until February. Well, we all saw how that worked out so thank you, Thorpe, you have made my day.

I move for a moritorium on anyone who says anything close to the following....."Joe Blow is a long lean point guard with a silky touch (Think Mike Hunt with a jumpshot)" It's especially annoying when posters use it as though they're educating other posters with their vast scouting ability...hahahaha!

How about "Think me punching you in the grill" Thorpe!?

Just got expanded to the top 50, Speights is number 28. The thing I find funny is he says Speights next stop is the D-league.
