Those are the exceptions, and none of them are franchise guys.

All four are/were superior athletes to Love, and Elton Brand is a pretty bad comparison given his giant wingspan.

With that being said, I'm really warming to Love, and while he isn't particularly athletic in the traditional sense (poor hops, not particularly explosive), he can be deceptively quick for his size. If he goes to the right team (i.e. one with a serious shot blocker at the 5), he could be a very solid pro. I used to see him as a top 15 player max, but could now see him going as high as about 8th, especially if he is actually 6'9".

Some might question you putting Randolph at 4, but I think you've proabably got it spot on. After workouts I think he'll be a lock for the top 10 (at least).

I think I would swap Randolph and Mayo ... and Im not sure CDR is a top ten pick.
Interesting, you have some ideas you would like to bounce off Brian Sabean? That's strange, I have some objects I would like to bounce off Brian Sabean.
