    Why is there no Yao Ming option?

    Just a little question to stir up some interest. :D

    I voted with who is contributing the most to the team at this point rather than the "3rd most talented" and chose Rafer.

    I voted Rafer, though I cannot actually believe he is leading this poll. Rafer-haters might be becoming believers?

    I thought about voting for Rafer...but to be honest, he lacks the talent that bonzi does. Which pushes Bonzi over the edge.

    Both Rafer and bonzi fit well into Adelman's system...both have been pretty key in winning games, but bonzi just has more talent.

    I'm sorry but bonzi's only talent is consuming mass quantities of donuts! The guy can't even hit his point blank layups. Half the time he doesn't even know if he is a jump shooter or a post-up guy. Don't even get me started on how he thinks he can be a 3 pt. shooter! Just watching Scola develop before our eyes at a rapid rate, I would easily say that he will be a better 3rd option that freakin bonzi wells.

    After the big two, the talent drop off is extreme. I really like Aaron Brooks as a future star, so I voted for him. By the end of the season, Brooks could be "large."

    A team where your third best player is Bonzi or Rafer, Wow, you are not going far. Compare that to the Suns, Mavs, Spurs, Jazz, even the Warriors and the Lakers.

    Really wanted to vote for Scola...maybe by year's end.

    Thought about voting for Bonzi...and would have if it weren't for...

    Rafer, who has REALLY surprised me of late.

    And I really don't feel bad about voting for him :)

    The fact is, if the poll had been "who is the 3rd most important player" Rafer would be the obvious choice. but "best player" is fuzzy. I just went with the person who's proven to be a scoring threat.

    Damn, the Brooks bandwagon is filling up. Better get on soon or you'll be watching from the sideline like me.

    Would the posters that apparently got drunk and felt the need to vote for Deke care to identify his/herself? ;)

    If I were to pick two guys to go 2 on 2 against two other people on any other team, I would pick Tracy and Scola. Yao's game is just too limited to call him the best. He's the tallest, that's for sure.
