Highest PER rating of the top 10...he has had a nice stretch...anxious to see his play over the rest of the season.

[Stanford]

I think he could end up as high as two at the end of the year.

[Sixersftw]

he's in the nba top 10 too. I don't think he will get past horford.

If you have ever read any of David Thorpe's chats than you realize how little meaning there is in these rankings. Also, I'm greedy... I like a little "sumpthin', sumpthin'" to be posted in a new thread than just a link.

thad will make the all rookie team easily.

[UptownPhilly]

This is good. If you look at Thad's ranking by young players, he's the 5th best "straight out of college" rookie this season. Moon, Scola, and Navarro(I don't know too much about him???) may be a little more seasoned than the guys coming fresh out of college, so they're more NBA ready than most of these rookies.

It's good to know that we have a lottery pick, that plays like he should have been a top 5 pick. The sky is the limit for Thaddeus.

thad will make the all rookie team easily.

I don't think you can say "easily" considering he didn't make the Rookie Team at the All-Star Game. He should make the All-Rookie Team since he's playing solid ball and should be the starter from here on out but I can't say "easily".

9th in this week's rookie rankings

[Johnny Broad-Street]

Thad's awesome. I think he'll be talked about as part of the strength of this class for years to come. After Durant, Oden and Horford...I think he's right in there

[Sixersftw]

Thad is up to 6 on espn this week.

I honestly think thad is going to be in the top 3. 4 at the max as well johnny broad street. I am however really down on durant but i think alot of it comes from the fact that he is on a terrible team and he is playing sg when he should clearly be playing the 3 w a spot minute or two at pf.

[Johnny Broad-Street]

It's nice to feel good about a guy's development without a bunch of anxiety and concern for what he "can't do".

I feel like outside of Iverson, we haven't had a lot of that in these parts

[sec-106]

I love that he doesn't take bad shots.
