    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.

    I love the Grit and Grind, and I love the Spurs timeless play. I think if the Spurs get to the finals, they will beat the heat, but they won''t beat the Grizzlies easily, and the Grizz can''t beat the Heat. I know it''s weird.

    Charlotte is the team that would take the 13 and 10 for their 4th.

    Not sure Oladipo or Mclemore is worth two late lottery picks, even in a weak draft.   I would LOVE to grab one of them but there is plenty of talent left. 2> 1 I would...
