    Does anyone know why Joel Freeland isn't ranked in the NBA ranking on ESPN?

    http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/page/nbarank-por-2012/2012-nba-player-rankings-portland-trail-blazers

    Is he just not good enough for top 500 or is he too good to be ranked yet or have they just forgotten about him?  Let me know your thoughts or if you know why.

    I"m starting to think the ESPN guys are on the take from the vegas bookies. They set up the odds before the first tipoff. They rank guys that have never played a real NBA game. It's a setup. That or they just really don't like the Brits!

    Rankings are for people who can't evaluate talent for themselves usually made by people with no NBA experience.

    SO many claimers in sports talk shows... just a bunch of bar room jarble IMO

    of course a Freeland is top 500.... NBA players from the Olympics had great things to say about his post defense, variety of very solid post moves, and of course 3 point range.

    Consider the source, if they are not using a qualified source like players, gms, or coaches to make their assessment, they have no valid journalism assessment, just another bar room jarble opinion like most people behind a mic.

    Thank you, Knorton. Now more rebuilding or anything. No rookie nonsense. Get a solid Defensive big. Trade every single pick to get it.

    I don''t trust big men with a history of injury. Ibaka also weighs more than Noel, but you''re right, early days yet, he could bulk up. I am sure, that he will lose some of his speed and athleticism when he does though. Wasn''t that one of his bes...
