http://www.nba.com/milk_rookie/power_rankings_021029.html They list the top 10 rookies for this year, and 8 honorabhle mentions, and Ming isn't on the list. NBA.com's rankings are aweful.
Aweful? Full of awe? You love them that much? (BTW, I think they are going to base it on production, and I don't think Ming will be that high on production this year)
well it says it's just a preseason ranking based on their performance. in this case it's fair because ming didn't really play. he has the opportunity to get on their next update if he plays well.
The page clearly states that it is ranking the rookies based on who had the best preseason. Considering Yao only played limited minutes in 2 games, he obvisouly did not make the list. Believe it or not, the national media does not have it "in" for Houston or its athletes.
