Slam: Two Knicks Top 30 under 25

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eons

no bias WILL is better ALL AROUND then all those dudes before him from 17-22 outside of bargani………..In my humbled……….

ion = molecule or atom

eon = geological time unit about a billion years

Ions ahead is essentially tied

At least Gallo’s getting there.
Good for Will, hopefull he’ll rise the list as soon as the season gets going. I really hope the injuries make a firm stop.

Technically, Gallinari didn’t make the list.

He’s “on the cusp”.

At least a Knick made it.

So what you’re saying is Jordan Hill and Gallo arent on the top 25 list… But Lopez, Jennings, and Wil are… And that could have been our team… Interesting.

Oh, leave Tommy alone with his scientific terms…

Anywho, hopefully we’ll add 2-3 more on that list in the next year or so…

Honorable mention status… But he’s got time

Maybe now these Chandler & Gallo haters will chill the hell-out! These low IQ guys always suggesting that we mortgage our young core players for 1 star is CRAZY!

This also should make these haters realize that there are others who appreciate the development of our players! Why build up rookies for others to capitalize on? They have that win tomorrow syndrome. They must of forgot on their first year on the job that they wasn’t expected to become an overnight success.

Anyway, I hope they chill!

theres no point in what-ifs. whats done is done, and im happy with our chances right now

Aren’t the other guys on the cusp ahead of Gallo all former second round picks? No way the Knicks touch Lopez with D’Antoni but it is too bad they missed out on him.

The last laugh is so sweet (pause on the HAHAHA’z for now YO SON)

LONG LIVE ILL WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good thing this article came out, before July 1st… Even having two players in the top 30 is better than none… Hopefully Bosh and Lebron read SLAM ha…

Yea i agree, trying to be as unbias as possible, but Wil should be ranked ahead of a few of these guys. i.e. Wilson is a better player than Kevin Love.
Have a problem with JR Smith being ranked where he is (maybe it’s just because I don’t like him) but, I like Eric Gordon and Gallo as better shooters and all around players even right now.

did i miss it.. how many is this out of?

how many under 25 in the NBA in total?

Well if the whole blog thought that way then I would go with that way of thinking… But sometimes people need to be reminded of what reality is… I wont be singing that “no point of what-ifs” if we strike out in Free Agency, that’s for sure…

that list is retarded SLAM is only good at gettin good pictures in there magazine

lol

DOWN WITH GALLINARI

jk man.

pretty much. They have some good interviews, but their basketball analysis does seem to be lacking.

Considering the players on this list can go back 5drafts I’d say it’s definitely more than 100

agreed.

17. Bargani
18. OJ Mayo
19. Wilson Chandler
20. So on and so on…

really?

[i tried to just write "really?" but it wouldn't let me. It said i was posting duplicate comments...]

REALLY???

agreed, their “top 50 nba players” list is also retarded, this article was just the opinion of some college kid in cali

LOL who would u rather have on ur team monta ellis? or steph curry, westbrook, gay,lopez, collison etc… ranking players is pointless especially when u factor in the contracts they have

Whoah. Wait a second. This is one of the worst lists I have ever seen. Holy crap.

Marvin Williams at 22??? Ahead of Wilson, Gallo, Gordon, Jennings, Stuckey, and Collison. Are you kidding me??

OJ mayo behind Jeff Green, George Hill, and JR freaking SMITH of all people.

Josh Smith at 3rd. Are you Freaking kidding me?

Michael Beasley at 15?

No joke, but this is one of the worst most innaccurate things I have ever read and a major waste of time. Who is this guy? He said he valued winning above all else, which who the heck knows what that even means. What the heck was this list. Seriously gets me angry.

Lol. I think that if we strike out this summer everyone’s gonna remember those “what ifs” we all remember.

I think they’re just based on production. Taking into consideration the players salary wouldn’t really be fair since Ellis’ been around longer than Curry.
With salaries it’d be completely different.

All “In Donnie We Trust” comments should be banned and met with loss of commenting privileges then

Maybe Beasley’s higher than he should be, or maybe that’s just me, I’ve never seen him ahead of Green (whose game’s great imo) and Mayo.

I think it’s taking making the Playoffs into account… Which places some players higher than they should… But in my opinion Westbrook might be top 5 and is definitely no lower than 6…

Brook Lopez is a center so that automatically enhances his standing. But it’s kind of funny to say that you value winning above all else, and you put a guy who was the centerpiece of a team that lost 70 games ahead of 15 guys. Not worth all that much attention, however.

LOL

On point as usual

He’s a great PG, I might be an idiot but I see him surpassing what Rondo’s doing in a couple of years. It did take Rondo a couple of years to improve his FG% but I see Westbrook doing it faster. Don’t know if they’re D abilities can be compared just yet, but he can be seen as Rondo Jr for now.

01. Kevin Durant
02. Dwight Howard
03. Rajon Rondo
04. Derrick Rose
05. Tyreke Evans
06. Andrew Bynum
07. Russell Westbrook
08. Brook Lopez
09. Al Horford
10. OJ Mayo
11. LaMarcus Aldridge
12. Stephen Curry
13. Josh Smith
14. Rudy Gay
15. Monta Ellis
16. Brandon Jennings
17. Eric Gordon
18. Andrea Bargnani
19. Jeff Green
20. DANILO GALLINARI
21. WILSON CHANDLER
22. Michael Beasley
23. George Hill
24. Darren Collison
25. Kevin Love etc

legit?

Does it matter? His name made the cut scrub!

Good to see Ill Will get some recognition though, well-deserved

Much better list than SLAM. You da Man!

I’d switch Lopez and Bynum.

Not bad. I’d switch Smith with Aldrige and Gallo with Hill. But pretty fair imo.

Rodney stuckey is missing…

RealGM reporting that the Bucks are dealing a 2nd round pick for CDR. MIL really mmaking moves to replace Salmons. Nice.

Thanks JeffM!

It’s a toss-up between Brook Lopez and Andrew Bynum IMO, Lopez has better stats obviously but I think Bynum’s more of a difference-maker. It’s almost unfait to compare Lopez, Bynum tho (Nets, Lakers)… it’s a matter of preference I guess.

Aldridge/Smith = tough call. I prefer LMA because he’s not a bonehead but I like J Smoove…

I forgot Stuckey I think he’s #23, #24 or #25 on my list

Great List Mucha. Definitely much better than the slam one. That one was a joke. Im not sure I would put Horford as high as you, but I pretty much agree with everything else. Awesome list man.

hahahahahaha…thats funny as hell…you win this round YoSon we’ll meet again to duel over that issue and when we do both WILSON & GALLO wil be ahead of B. Lopez and doing there thang…TOGETHER…and The NYK will be considered the best “Cast” for Lebron +1…The Chinese are gonna NY…I can see Canal street now…

GO KNICKS!!!

haha funny dude(humorous monologue)……..

can respect the fact that you can bow out gracefully……….

put on a gallo jersey mr moe,and i might do ya …..haha

Pay Zero attention to this list. A complete Joke.

Monta Ellis ahead of Westbrook?
Josh Smith ahead of Derrick Rose?

There are some more I could argue with but those stick out.

Bynum when healthy is better than Brooke Lopez no question. Its a shame he’s hit an injury patch so early in his career b/c he looked as if he was really hitting his stride in 08′.

Good for Wilson, great for him to be ranked relatively high. If only he had a little more SWAGG and heart in his game, something to kind make you say “that kids got it!” instead of just mentioning his athleticism and marginal improvements thus far. Like who wants to buy a Chandler jersey? not my ass…Jerseys are kind of reflection of your persona as a fan and he makes it kinda hard for me (pause) to make any sort of connection with him (pause). I mean for a guy with “Thrill” tattooed on his arm, he’s about as “Thrilling” as the World Cup’s been thus far. (come on USA, shut me up!) I just think if he would’ve YAMMED it on somebody last season, and let out a little emotion…just a little, he wouldn’t seem like such an afterthought when talking about our core and what we could put around LBJ.

You can tell me till you’re blue in the face “thats just not Wilsons personality” etc, but frankly his persona and parts of his game (THE HANDLE) is like a giant bland box of Oat Bran out there, no sugar. I swear I think his lack of “Fire and Desire” (to quote Rick James, not Clyde Frazier) hurt his stock as a player, I really do. This is a stars league but even “Mr. Bland” himself, Tim Duncan, one of the biggest stars we have, gets pumped up now and again. A little personality goes a long way in this world and the NBA.

Plain and simple, dude needs to come in next season ballin like a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch!

…Sorry felt like a good time for a Wilson Chandler rant.

I would switch Danilo Gallinari with Robin Lopez.
