Dropped from the rankings: DeJuan Blair, Toney Douglas, Omri Casspri
1. Brandon Jennings – Was there any doubt he would be #1? The Bucks are 8-4 on the young season.
2. Tyreke Evans – Tyreke now has 7 straight games of at least 20 points to lead the Kings in scoring at 19 ppg on the year.
3. Ty Lawson – Lawson is that missing piece from last years Denver team that could have propelled them into the finals.
4. Terrence Williams – Williams shot a lot better last week in route to a 2o point and 17 point performance and a double-double.
5. Marcus Thorton – Thorton was a huge part of the Hornets 3-1 week last week. He was 29-57 from the floor and averaged 19 ppg.
6. Stephen Curry – Curry has really distributed the ball well for a team full of scorers. He’s averaging 5.2 apg compared to just 2.2 TO/g.
7. Darren Collison – Out of nowhere Collison is proving to be a legit backup to Chris Paul. Last week averaged over 12 ppg and over 6 apg.
8. James Harden – Harden is emerging as a 3rd option for KD. JHard had 2 games in a row of 24 and 25 points respecitvely last week.
9. Jonny Flynn – Flynn is really struggling with his shot as of late. As Flynn goes, so do the Wolves, who are now 1-13.
10. Chase Budinger – Budinger’s minutes decresed a lot last week but he’s still instant offense off the bench hitting 17 3′s on the year.
On the cusp: Taj Gibson, Tyler Hansborough
