ESPN.com Best players 23 and under 

Post#1 » by pink22 » Tue Apr 1, 2008 9:08 pm

Deron #4 Paul #3. I can't totally argue with that. BUT, click on the individual picks from each person that voted. How many left off Deron and how many left off CP3? It's pretty astounding that Deron can be so overlooked. You'd think after Stockton and Malone getting no pub after all those years I'd be used to it but it bothers me. How about watch a damn Jazz game once in a while all you media-types.

it is a crime.

You should list the full top ten in the post or there will be another flame war.

The media love affair with players continues. My question is this--how is Greg Oden one of the top 10 players when he hasn't played a game in the NBA yet?

Thorp has Deng and Joakim F'ing Noah on his list -- but no Williams.

I've had diarrhea with more insight than these clowns.

from All-Stars (LeBron, Dwight, CP3, B-Roy, Melo) to high-upside guys (Deron Williams, Monta Ellis, Al Jefferson, Rudy Gay, Josh Smith, LaMarcus Aldridge, Andrew Bynum)

WOW. Just WOW. Paul and Roy next to LeBron... and Williams lumped in with MONTA ELLIS and JOSH SMITH???

I think the list is perfect from 1-5... the consensus list, but some of those ballots and the number of votes is just odd for some of these people like Thorpe.
