Oden
Fernandez
Love

very tricky question

[jjgold]

Beasley hands down winner

Mayo overrated

[zentiense]

Oden, Beasley, Mayo -- in any order.

I'm starting to become convinced that this is a much weaker draft that everyone previously thought. I'm not sold on most of the top 15.

1. Beasley
2. Oden
3. Bayless

Bayless -- nice choice. He could shake things up a bit in the ROY race if he gets the starting job right away. Blazers are going to be a big wildcard and could surprise the entire league. I'm excited for their team.

[Sinister Cat]

Yeah, they traded J Jack for him so I figure he could get 25-30 mins a game. Could easily put up 15/6 or something in those minutes, IMO. ROY voters like scorers.

is Oden really eligible for the ROY? Anyone know for sure.. Cause I'm planning on holding a contest.

[SBR Lou]

Nobody realizes how good Derrick Rose is- lol.

He won't beat out Rudy Fernandez ever, he plays little Pistol Pete without as much B.S.

is Oden really eligible for the ROY? Anyone know for sure.. Cause I'm planning on holding a contest.

Yep, Blazers have both Oden and Fernandez eligible, as well as anyone that comes over from other teams, Marc Gasol is eligible as well, not a great player but he may actually be the starter in Memphis and put up soom big numbers as well

Also I think being in Minnesota is worse for Kevin Love but I guess I will still give him 3rd, though it may be Jason Thompson now or Beasley
