Ridiculous, it doesn’t make any sense at all...I won’t even argue, because from n° 1 to n° 100, this list doesn’t make sense at all.The top 5 is funny though... .

You’re so right!Nicolas Batum is so good and has such an incredible potential. I saw him playing at Douai’s tournament a month ago and what is noticeable is that everything comes very easily to him. He scored 45 pts against Australia putting a lot of 3s and impressive dunks. He is the best available combination of basketball IQ, athlteticism and fundamentals/shooting. A part from batum, there’s another french guy who’s not mentionned here (I didn’t see him in other mocks as well) named Edwin Jackson. He’s a great shooter while having good athleticism. For me he is an even better version of Eric Gordon... .

You’re very good at evaluating talent. This is the best rankings I’ve seen on 2008 prospects so far. All the players are in valid spots, good job Lance! .

lance you’re a "visionnaire" i’ve seen several times nicolas batum since 2 year and i can say i’d never see a young sg like him at his age,the coach give him time but he deserve it and he’s already a money time player and good at defense as well as team character,one more year in league will give him the final touch especially phisically .

these are very good rankings, all these players have legit chances to play in the NBA some day. I do hope alot of these young talented players stay in school more than one year, though, but they probably won’t, that’s what this culture has come to now. .

It will be a battle for top PGs there are so many good ones next year, but I think it will come down to O.J. Mayo and Derrick Rose. .

If you guys thought Tony Parker had skills coming out of France. Wait until you see Nicolas Batum, man this kid can play some ball. He definetly will be a top 5 pick next year, number 1 is his spot to lose. .

Beasley and Walker will make a nice 1-2 combo at Kansas State and help each other be top 20 picks. .

I think Reggie Williams could be next years Rodney Stuckey, if he keeps balling the way he does. .

Lookout for the Lopez Twins down low in the paint. They are quickly becoming a great 1-2 force down low. Stanfords success will greatly depend on how well they play, which shouldn’t be a problem. .

UCLA has 4 and all our prospects are gauranteed to be top 40 picks we’ll be back in the final four again. We’re becoming a powerhouse again. We can’t be stopped now cuz we’re Bruins 4 life. LA is Bruins town! .

Kansas has 6 players on this list we are stocked with talent next year even without Julian Wright. Next year is our time to shine! .

This is defiently a good 100 to start off with. Some underrated players to lookout for on it are. Brain Roberts at #41, Shan Foster at #56, and Geary Claxton at #66. They are very good players they should be drafted next year .
