7. Jonny Flynn – Flynn’s taking better shots over the course of last week and it showed by him scoring a lot more.
8. Wesley Matthews – I’m not really sure why this rookie takes 12 shots a game, especially when he is cold all night but hey the Jazz are ok with it.
9. Tyler Hansbrough – Making his debut in the rankings Hansbrough recorded his first double-double of his career last week.
10. Jonas Jerebko – He may have gotten posterized but he is part of the reason the Pistons have won 5 in a row.
