I guess not all the "experts" hate us!!!

[Felton for Pres]

Frenchie made the list? Wow. I am actually very happy about the pick and I think he'll be a good one. However, he is not NBA ready. My buddy's wife said it best Sat night at the game: "someone is going to break him into little bits"

He'll be ready next year, but not this year.

I think Marc Gasol will be a beast.

I'm guessing it was more the slim (pun intended) pickings that got Lex the nod!!

I kind of figured this team would be more respected by its peers then its media outlets.

The Alexis thing, wow...Slim Pickings. Maybe they included NBADL production in this category.

I think Marc Gasol will do better then Danillo though. Mostly because I think he'll get a ton more minutes then Danillo.

[Paydro70]

I don't think they have any more respect for the TEAM than anyone else... but they clearly think Larry Brown is a very good coach.

I'm actually surprised, these are pretty sane responses.

I guess its a good sign they think Jinx can contribute this season. I'm surprised Nicholas Batum didn't make the list.

Experts sometimes will overrate what they like and try to make some points .
