    Wish they didn’t put any kind of list out until at least the 10th game of the season. Like the Heisman in football, so many people get fixated on so few, that other outstanding players don’t get on the radar screen. At least af 10 games you can look at stats and then say these are the plalyers that have earned a consideration. I really don’t like freshman being on the list, they haven’t done anything at this level yet.

    D. Favors is going to blow everyone away. He is unreal. He is what Garnett would have looked like, if Garnett would have gone to college. 2x better than Chris Bosh.
