Overall Rankings - Week 3

1. Kevin Durant, G-F, Seattle

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
12	33.8	19.0	4.2	1.8	1.3	0.90	.374	.283	.841

Last Week: 1 | Drafted: 2
His numbers (most notably his field goal percentage) have gone down slightly since his dynamic debut week, but how many rookies have the stones to make this shot with the clock winding down in double overtime? Just the fact that he wants to be the guy who takes that shot reminds me of Kobe Bryant as a rookie against the Jazz in the playoffs. Only KD didn't throw up an airball.

2. Al Horford, F-C, Atlanta

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
10	33.0	9.0	10.3	1.2	1.0	1.7	.515	.000	.611

Last Week: 3 | Drafted: 3
Horford has moved from the Hawks' starting power forward to the team's seventh man as the first guy off the bench after Josh Childress. The demotion hasn't hurt his production in the least as he continues to be a legit double-double threat every night.

3. Sean Williams, C, New Jersey

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
8	20.6	9.6	4.8	0.1	0.6	2.5	.634	.000	.714

Last Week: Unranked | Drafted: 17
I haven't missed the boat on something so bad since I disagreed with my 13-year old buddy Adam when he thought our junior high classmate was cute and she grew up to be a model. Sean Williams' athleticism reminds me of a young Amare Stoudemire, only STAT didn't fully matriculate until he had Steve Nash at the point, whereas Sean has Jason Kidd from Day 1. Scary.

4. Yi Jianlian, F, Milwaukee

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
9	25.8	9.7	6.1	0.7	0.8	1.6	.415	.500	.708

Last Week: 2 | Drafted: 6
Yi went 5-for-21 in three games last week and saw his minutes reduced significantly in the Bucks' games against the Hawks and the Cavaliers. Despite all that, he's still right in the thick of it for ROY consideration.

5. Jamario Moon, F, Toronto

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
7	26.7	7.9	6.7	1.1	1.1	1.1	.431	.364	.583

Last Week: 6 | Drafted: Undrafted
Moon officially arrived last week when my man Cory in London, ON invited me to the "Jamario Moon Fan Club" on Facebook. Now that's big time. His 15 points vs. Utah and 12 rebounds vs. Dallas proved he can get it done against some of the best competition out there.

6. Jeff Green, F, Seattle

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
12	22.2	9.8	5.4	0.6	0.6	0.5	.453	.000	.738

Last Week: 4 | Drafted: 5 by Boston
Green got the first start of his career on Tuesday and rewarded coach P.J. Carlesimo for his confidence in him by racking up 11 points and a season-high 14 rebounds.

7. Daequan Cook, G, Miami

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
6	18.3	9.0	1.8	0.8	0.5	0.0	.465	.364	.857

Last Week: 7 | Drafted: 21 by Philadelphia
Things might be starting to turn around in the right direction for Miami, as Dwyane Wade is back, Shaq is holding himself accountable and Daequan Cook is turning into a potent scorer when used in small doses.

8. Luis Scola, F-C, Houston

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
11	19.8	6.8	4.4	1.0	0.4	0.2	.530	.000	.455

Last Week: The Next 10 | Drafted: 56 in 2002 by San Antonio
The only other rookie to have 20-point outings in back-to-back games this season is Kevin Durant. Scola followed up his 20-point, 10-for-11 from the field gem against the Spurs with a 20-point, 11-rebound, four-assist showing vs. the Suns.

9. Juan Carlos Navarro, G, Memphis

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
10	17.8	8.0	1.5	1.7	0.6	0.0	.424	.474	1.000

Last Week: The Next 10 | Drafted: 40 in 2002 by Washington
It's not J.C. It's not Juan Carlos. It's "La Bomba." Navarro earned the nickname on November 16 by tying a rookie record with eight 3-pointers in a game, joining Chris Duhon and Jason Kidd as the only other rookies to do so.

10. Jason Smith, F, Philadelphia

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
10	17.0	5.9	3.3	0.6	0.5	0.8	.500	.000	.688

Last Week: The Next 10 | Drafted: 20 by Miami
The old addage goes that slow and steady wins the race, so maybe we'll be handing Philadelphia's Jason Smith the Eddie Gottlieb Trophy come May. The 7-0, 240 pound Smith has improved seemingly every game and followed up a season-high 12 points last Friday with a respectable eight points on Tuesday.

The Next 10 (alphabetical order): Arron Afflalo (DET), Corey Brewer (MIN), Mike Conley (MEM), Jared Dudley (CHA), Thomas Gardner (CHI), Spencer Hawes (SAC), Acie Law (ATL), Joakim Noah (CHI), Al Thornton (LAC), Nick Young (WAS)

Noteworthy

Law

Acie Law (ATL) took the biggest tumble since last week, both on the floor and in the Rookie Rankings. He hurt his ankle against the Bobcats when Ryan Hollins landed on him. The good news is that he plans to return on Saturday.
NBA scouts drool over 7-footers like Homer Simpson yearns for donuts. We finally got to see what 85-inch tall Cheikh Samb (DET) could do as he blocked two shots in 15 minutes in his debut on November 16.
Stephane Lasme (GSW) was waived to make room for DJ Mbenga.
Nick Fazekas (DAL) and Ian Mahinmi (SAS) are the newest assignees to the D-League.
Aaron Brooks (HOU) broke through the Rockets' stacked backcourt to score five points in three minutes in his first game action.
The Bulls' trio of Aaron Gray, Joakim Noah and Thomas Gardner combined for 37 points, 16 rebounds and five assists on Tuesday in bench duty as Denver romped Chicago.
Nick Young (WAS) is stepping up his game in Gilbert Arenas' absence. The guard out of USC has 28 points on 10-for-18 shooting in his last two games.
Thaddeus Young (PHI) erupted for a season-high 14 points on Tuesday after scoring just 15 points combined in his first five appearances.
The HNPAMY (Have Not Played A Minute Yet) Club: Herbert Hill (PHI), Brandon Wallace* (BOS), Oleksiy Pecherov (WAS), Joel Anthony (MIA), Rodney Stuckey (DET), Kyrylo Fesenko* (UTA), Ramon Sessions* (MIL), Marcin Gortat* (ORL), JamesOn Curry* (CHI), Carl Landry (HOU), Adam Haluska (NOH), Demetris Nichols (CLE) and Kosta Perovic* (GSW)

아흑~ 니경이 커리어-하이를 찍고도 아직 오르지 못했음.ㅠㅠ 근데 대콴 쿡 저 선수는 대부분 가비지타임용에 나오거나, 선수들 파울트러블에 걸렸을때나 나오는데 순위가 저리 높네요. 그 "라이크 제임스 덩크"가 임팩트가 컸던건가?ㄷㄷㄷ

[영일만 친구]
