I wanna see where Oden will be ranked after a few months into the season. I have high hopes for the big dude.

9. LaMarcus Aldridge
Age: 24
Previous rank: 12
Movement: +3

Aldridge is one of the toughest players on this list to pin down. Depending on who you talk to, he is either a) a prime candidate for a breakout season, b) a poor man’s David West, or c) a finesse player who has reached his full potential. Out of respect to the massive horde of Blazers fanatics who frequently support this site, I’ll reserve judgment on Aldridge until midseason. For now, ninth is an appropriate place for him. But rest assured, if Aldridge does not make good on the promise he’s flirted with for the past year and a half, I’m relegating him to the Rudy Gay Zone; or, rather, a watered-down version of the Rudy Gay Zone. And that’s not a good place to be; as you’ll see in a little while.

WTF?! A poor mans David West!??!??!? I would not trade LMA for West straight across!

I was looking for Roy before I remembered he's already 25.

Couple things:

CP3 should've stayed higher than Dwight. Dwight is just getting credit for reaching the Finals on a loaded Magic team.
I think it's quite obvious Josh Smith is never going to be a star in this league.
Many rankings seem to be based more on potential than actual results. Not sure if that's how it's supposed to be.

Anthony Randolph getting recognized.
