Wow, I don't even know what to say, other than apparently Will Franklin must be the MVC POY to this point. I just can't believe these.

[houstontxbrave]

I am a bit apprehensive to bring this up but what the heck. Does anyone think Franklin has any chance of playing professionally. He reminds me of David Wesley, same body type. Will is a strong bodied good ball handler, good shooter confident. He is to short to play a 2 and that probably is his biggest deterent.

Anyway just wondering what others think. I think he can make money at the next level.

[amckillip]

I think he'll play proffesionally, but not NBA. Probably in Europe or even ABA or something, I love will but I just don't think he's got much chance in the NBA.

688 JJ Tauai

Let's see.... 336 teams with 13 schollie players... that's 4368 players.

That means JJ is in the top 15.75%.

Way to go JJ!!!

The player rankings are just their way to rate players, but it doesn't actually prove who's better.
The rankings only go up to #1964, so that would include roughly the best 6 or 7 players on each team, basically the starting five and top subs.
As for Will, I have no doubt he will have the chance to play professionally, but making the NBA is quite unlikely.
