David Thorpe is the only one on there I actually listen to.

Re: ranking the rookies
Cheers it was a good read.
I'm glad there are others who believe in Biz & Kemba.
I've said it before & I'll say it again...Kemba could be the best player from this draft class.

That's right Sik. People just don't seem to realize the value of being able to find open spots on the floor, and knock down jumpers. That is something Kemba seems to be fantastic at doing. Shot selection is one of the most import skills any guard can possess.

I agree Quick, his scoring instincts & ability is not one that many possess.
It seems funny to me that Kemba was already so good that people don't believe he can get much better...lol
The whole ceiling thing can be distorted.

Re: ranking the rookies
He might be the Bobcats very own Cam Newton. He is so good at creating shots for himself that I expect him to come in the door shocking everyone that pointed a finger at his size, or his lack of assisting at UConn. He probably will not break records like Cam is, but I definitely expect him to be a ROY canidate.

Agreed Quick, he will definitely be a ROY candidate imo.
He was forced into the scoring role at UCONN & it doesn't mean he can't run an offense imo.
