Based on what they've done so far in the league, the only two that I'd put ahead of Zack from that class would be Gasol and Arenas.... but, does the old saying "you can't teach height" apply here since many of the top picks are still so young? If so, some of those bigger guys might still rank over as Zack based on the potencial of what they may become... it's only been two years. But regardless, he looks like another fantastic late round choice by Bob.

Where he was, because guys like Gilbert and Parker will move up.

MAS RipCity

Call me bias I don't care, he would be #1, he is the only one who is tearing it up inte playoffs besides Parker but Z-Bo is putting up way better numbers. Guys like JRich and Pau havent had any playoff experience,but I would still mos def have Z-Bo#1 because I wouldn't trade him for any of those guys at least he is top 5.

honest mistake.

Troy Murphy averaged a double double in his second season. You gotta love what he has done. Pau Gasol is a great player. Curry was becoming a superstar this year. Arenas and Parker are great PGs. Jefferson and Collins were a BIG reason everyone thought that Jason Kidd should have been MVP last year.

It's hard to rank Randolph ahead of any of these players. We really haven't gotten a chance to see how he matches up as a starter with every team. I remember him playing terrible in his start vs Minnesota. And maybe he's just having a nice run vs the Mavs. I've seen many players have a nice playoff run but never live up to that level of play in the following season.

I hope Randolph becomes that special player, and I hope he gets his 20 and 10 tomorrow, but I would put Murphy, Gasol, Curry, Arenas, Parker, Collins, and Jefferson ahead of him. More has been asked of them and they have delivered.

Go Blazers

I would rate them as follows:
Gasol
Curry
Arenas
Parker
Randolph
Richardson
Chandler
Battier
Kwame Brown (potential)
Griffin
Radmanovic
Troy Murphy
Johnson
Tinsley
White
Haywood
Collins
Trenton Hassell
Okur
Watson
Bobby Simmons
Lampley

How can you rank Troy Murphy so low? He had an INCREDIBLE year. He did what no other Blazer did and averaged a double double.

Also, Okur is much better than you ranked him , I think.

As I Live in Detroit, I have seen Okur play, He shows flashes of greatness but disapeers much of the time, That is why he is ranked so low

As for Murphy he is low because some of the players above him have better potential to be great players, He is good and will be solid for many years but some of the other guys "could" become stars and its only been 2 years, Give them time, Murphy is better developed since he played through his Junior year in college
