Kirk Hinrich , OJ Mayo, Derrick Rose, Rankings/List

 

Michael Beasley, Heat

He is a ridiculous talent. Beasley will produce in Miami and is a guy who comes along once every ten years or so.

Greg Oden, Trail Blazers

This is based on his playing with two healthy legs— naturally.

Out all of last season after micro fracture surgery, last year's No. 1 pick becomes the other man-child of this rookie class. Oden is a true force on both ends of the court. He could have 15 points and four or five blocks a game.

Derrick Rose, Bulls

Let's not forget, Rose is still very young and the Bulls still have Kirk Hinrich. Rose probably won't win, but he is an incredible talent and will be great one day.

OJ Mayo, Grizzlies

Obviously, a talent like Mayo should rank higher, but Conley and Gay are youngsters who will get lots of minutes. Had he not been traded from Minnesota, Mayo gets a lot more playing time.
