    Signed too late as an undrafted rookie, I think.

    He is probably above Diamon Simpson, at least

    I don't get that. He hasn't played a single game in the NBA. I don't understand why they rank rookies but if they are going to be ranked they shouldn't be top 100.

    Rankings all messed up. How is an average player like Batum so highly ranked? So many averagish players hit double digit rankings....

    I totally agree. In fact, they should either not rank rookies, or do a separate rookie ranking scale. It's preposterous.

    Yes, his ranking is very high, but I think they took into account his specific skill-set and how immediately applicable in this league. In addition, his play in the Olympics was taken into account. Yes, he only played garbage minutes, but he at least showed he could make some blocks and finish at the rim (and moreover didn't shrink from the big stage).

    That said, his ranking is too high, but it makes sense that his ranking is much higher than that of the other rookies.

    Yeah,I though they only take into account of only last year performance instead of potential.Seems you are right.I was surprised Dragic is not ranked near lin tho.

    How is #83 Dragic not near #78 Lin?
    That's a whopping 5 places.

    The whole league is high on this kid so no problem here.
    Rookies will rise and fall and he had to be the highest ranked one.

    Dragic is in the 80's apparently

    The ranking is weird, imo it should be

    1. Dragic
    2. Lowry
    3. Lin

    It is a little weird but all in all those experts are no Rocket homers, so Lowry has been a starter longer than Dragic
