    Here is the complete list.

    1. Blake Griffin
    2. Landry Fields
    3. John Wall
    4. Derrick Favors
    5. Gary Forbes
    6. Gary Neal
    7. Greg Monroe
    8. Tiago Splitter
    9. Wesley Johnson
    10. DeMarcus Cousins
    11. Omer Asik
    12. Trevor Booker
    13. Larry Sanders

    16. Al-Farouq Aminu
    17. Armon Johnson
    18. Evan Turner
    19. Timofey Mozgov
    20. Greivis Vasquez
    21. Ishmael Smith:Forced to play because of injures to both Aaron Brooks and Kyle Lowry, Smith sparked an excellent comeback in San Antonio that fell just short in overtime. Although he's an absolute non-shooter, he is probably the Rockets' best passer and a very tough player overall.

    No, they're trying to be cute. Although I could see a guy like Fields fitting in with an LA or San Antonio right off the bat whereas Wall would get less minutes, play a smaller role. But Wall is obviously the franchise player.

    Wow, Ish Smith is only 3 spots away from Evan Turner, the #2 pick in the draft, and Smith was undrafted. Good find!

    Wow, Turner is # 18, I don't what's going on with this kid, but he needs to get his things together before he lose all of his confidents and become a bust.

    Thread would get more traffic with a proper title...

    Ish isn't even the rotation and he is #21. Just wait until he gets proper playing time.

    Was that the same Gary Forbes that was on our summer league team? I remember David Thorpe tweeting that "this guy is definitely an NBA player" ...

    Was at the game last night and Ish played really good, the way he splits the defenders off the pick and roll is even more impressive in person. Jordan hill also had a hell of a game

    Wow, very impressive. I knew he was impressing the hell out of me, and making me scratch my head as to how he didn't get drafted- but I figured that's just my homer bias.

    Pretty damn high ranking! Higher than Caracter, Hayward, Aldrich, Seraphin, are a few that jump out at me. That is some good stuff.

    Yeah leave it to Morey to find a kid that goes undrafted and ranks above many of the guys this board creams over..

    Wow Evan Turner is doing really bad...I'm sad to say but the more game past game the more people would start to think he is a bust. It's really sad I know, I really liked him as a player as well. I hope he picks his game up.

    Ish Smith and Jordan Hill would become a very good duo. Ish Smith driving in, drawing the defenders and dishing it off to Hill for the flush.

    Yeah for sure, that dunk over Dalembert was nasty if its not all over sports center someones not paying attention. And did anyone else notice how much of a whiny ass D Cousins is?
