    From http://www.sportingnews.com/nba/preview/top25.html :

    Lamar Odom? Andre Miller? Tracy McGrady?

    No Stackhouse, Glenn Robinson, Abdur-Rahim, and Sam Cassell? You could even consider Reggie Miller, Elton Brand, and Allan Houston. Andre Miller? Andre Miller? Will McGrady or Odom be better than Stackhouse this season? How about Glenn Robinson?

    Elton Brand and Abdur-Rahim are both 20 and 10 guys. Andre Miller?

    This guy picked the obvious, but when it came down to the final choices, he really took some chances.

    Shareef is #13. Andre Miller is a good PG, but I agree #25 is way too high. Odom is a good guy in fantasy basketball, but shouldn't be on this list.

    I agree that Andre Miller is a good point guard, but I think his stats get inflated because of the team he is on. Imagine if Francis was on the Cavs...theyd be a possible playoff contender in the east or at least much much closer. I use the same argument for last year Rookie of the Year race-if Francis played on the Bulls last year (instead of Brand), you probably would have seen 4-6 more points per game, about the same assists and probably close to 8 boards a game as a guard.

    Anyway, I also think Andre Miller is too high [​IMG]

    Steve can easily be in the top ten.

    Essentially the top two players to come out of college the last couple of years are Duncan, Carter, and Francis.

    Why is everyone so high on Andre Miller , Is it because the Cavs traded Sura to give him more time?

    Miller had a great year last year. The Pippen ranking is a complete joke. It's stuff like that that makes me not take these things seriously.

    Mcgrady can play four positions, he's suddenly 6'8, no fluke, a growth spurt....
    so he can easily play 4 positions...led the league in blocks as a guard for a while, and was in the top 5 all season....One of the best defensive players in the league, has all the offensive moves....tell me, is there ANYTHING wrong with him? oh, and he has 12 good years ahead of him...and he didn't have a lot of minutes gettitng those numbers either...I take him over anyone on our team other than Francis....

    Mcgrady can be on the list, but why Pippen ? Honestly, I may not like the guy, but I also think he sucks. [​IMG]

    I think Kobe is a little high. I know some people would put Gary at #1 or #2.
    Anyone think Marbury is a little too high also ?

    Considering Gary's character, he would be pretty pissed off.

    McDyess over Brand? Hmmmmmm. The other power forwards I'll begrudgingly admit yes to. Don't know about 'Dice.

    Are you serious ? If there were questions of Mcgrady being on the list, then no way does Larry make it. Sorry.

    Now, if we are talking about the 25 most talented players, then quite possibly he would be on it.

    What about NOwitzki or ALlan Houston ?

    All your boy does is take 25-30 shots a game and his FG% sucks. He doesn't deserve to be in the top 25.
