No Pondexter is huge mistake as well. He's been an absolute beast for the Huskies this season.

If you compared Favors year to Lawal's freshman year it would be an absolute joke.

But we are not comparing their freshman years, we are talking about NOW

i think fjkdsi is talking about where he would take guys if the draft was right now, not who is playing the best right this second.

Are we talking about right now? I'll agree - Lawal is playing better than Favors this season. But who is going to be the better NBA player? Favors no question.

You really do not like Willie Warren, do you.

[fjkdsi]

Ya Warren is an undersized SG who gets the ball way too much in that offense
And ya Lawal is the better player right now but come on you should know better than that HB, Favors is 3 years younger and has a lot more celing

[fjkdsi]

Pondexter seems to disappear in big games, and Anderson is a good shooter but Im not sure about his defense and all around game, outside shooting/scoring he doesnt stand out to me
All these guys in the top 40 are really good players or gonna be really good so not being on isnt really a diss
Just like Warren being ranked only 40

Are you kidding me? Pondexter dropped in 23 (more than 1/3rd of his team's points) against UCLA two nights ago, and has scored 25+ seven different times this year. He has totally upped his game and there's no reason he shouldn't be on your list.

Outside shooting/scoring Anderson doesn't stand out to you when he's a career 38% deep shooter and averaging 22 PPG this year? You don't make any sense.

[fjkdsi]

actually you are right about Pondexter I watched the wrong games, I guess but this is looking at his stats, from what I saw Im still not sure he is an NBA SF he is close to the list not sure I would put him on over some of the other guys that are putting up great numbers on better teams and are younger...BTW this list is about 60% what Ive seen 20% stats and 20% nbadraft.net/draftexpress rankings, since I cant watch every game and my opinion may differ from others at times I tried to add those factors into it

I meant to say besides outside shooting/scoring he doesnt stand out to me..loltypo

[coolpohle]

Anderson currently with 22 points (2 of 4 from deep) with 15 minutes left to go in a road game against Kansas St.

[fjkdsi]

didnt watch the game but thats an impressive performance statistically, maybe he will be in my top 40 when I make a new one, probably during conference tourney week

[coolpohle]

Fredette had 33 points tonight (5-9 from deep) in a 71-69 win at San Diego St. tonight.

[bball2223]

I like the update fjkdsi. I need to watch some more of these kids the next few weeks and then I'll come back and provide a list for comparison.

What do you guys think about Scottie Reynolds?

He has been great in college basketball but do you think he has the skill to contribute at the next level.

He's had a heck of a season and probably deserves more talk about his NBA potential than he's getting - especially in a class where there aren't a ton of PGs. He'll probably be on the borderline of being drafted, and if he doesn't I would bet that he'd be a special player overseas.
