My first thought is higher than expected, BUT I'm very please to see someone not putting every single highly rated freshman above players that have already proved themselves.

Maymon not being on the list is a snub IMO. I also believe Trae will have a great year to push to be on that list.

Seeing the other forwards on that list I'm also a bit surprised maymon wasn't on it.

I don't know. I thought I saw somewhere Poythress was projecting as a lottery pick. How can he be the #29 player in this list? I know he says he's not taking the NBA into account, but talent is talent and apparently the experts think Poythress' talent is elite. Also, if I was ranking Florida's players I don't think I would end up with Murphy then Young then Boynton. I don't see that many Gator games, so I'm probably wrong, but when UT played them Murphy didn't seem that big a factor.

I guess that's why he has McDermott so high, college game not NBA. So he'd have someone like MKG not that high, because he statistically wasn't dominant, but a guy like McDermott higher because he lit teams up yet isn't a high NBA draft guy.

Agreed on Florida though, don't see how Murphy is first, even if it is college game not NBA.

Well if this thing is college not pro, I think Maymon probably goes in this list ahead of Stokes. If not ahead then very near. Based on the guys own criteria, they are going to have about the same stats and value to the team. As far as his "eye test criteria", Maymon should pass that pretty well to.

And if it's just college that he's talking about Rotnie Clarke should be higher. That cat can flat out shoot.

These lists are great for generating off-season discussion, but they're fairly useless otherwise. I don't agree with the majority of this list, other than the Top 5.

What are your thoughts on the order of the 3 Gator players on the list?

probably about right....but he has the potential to be top 5. I would just like to see more leadership. He is definitely a man amongst boys.

That's a little higher than I thought he might be, Maymon is almost as good IMHO
