I refuse to click through these forced slideshow articles on general principle. 247 getting rid of those was the best thing they have done. Slideshows are trash.
Any list that isn't topped by Keon has to be questioned. It begs even more questions when he is 4th on the list. All the reports have been that he is probably our best player already and has exceeded pretty lofty expectations.

I refuse to click through these forced slideshow articles on general principle. They probably rake in the advertising dollars though! Gotta respect the hustle. |

I respect the hustle of producing four pieces of compelling content that get me to click to read each one. If anything, breaking up one list into a different click for each entry is the opposite of hustle. It's laziness, and transparently about artificially inflating clicks. I'm not gonna boycott a site that does it. Nobody understands better than I do the difficulties in monetizing journalism these days. But I refuse to be manipulated into playing into these rat's mazes. |

But I refuse to be manipulated into playing into these rat's mazes. Oh it's total laziness and a terrible reading experience. I absolutely hate it! But sometimes I respect a good online money making scheme (scam) for it's ingenuity rather than it's actual contribution to good. I just imagine the site owners sitting there and thinking, wait a minute, what if we just split this long, terrible piece of content into 10 parts, then we can make 10x the money on ad placements! User experience be damned! The ebbs and flows of capitalism.  |

I didn’t open or read this, but Vescovi probably would be my #2 as well behind JJJ. Johnson would be #3 and Springer #4. Although until recent reports, I’d still have this order thinking Springer is the better basketball player right now.
Overseas guys can get a ton of money in some leagues. Depending on roster rules for foreign and domestic, they would make more money and be more comfortable in other countries as opposed to chasing the nba dream in America. Look what Petrusev did at Gonzaga. Just a thought
