11. YAO - Seemed high at first, but he’s justifying it with his play.

15. Dwight Howard
16. Andrei Kirilenko - this was a little crazy. My bad!

darko????omg close this thread please...

Remember the story, Amare entered the ratings with 3 games through 05-06 season. Last two seasons regained his status and I expect him to storm into 4-8 position.

raul7wade3 - that's the 06' list bud ...

[ut_jazz]

it may seem crazy now but just two years ago Ak-47 was thought very highly of by a lot of people

i hope we can get a good trade for him that will benefit both parties..a trade is inevitable

[solidkc]
