Whose rankings are these ? Dick Vitale's ?
I think Van Horn and Thomas before Battie is a reach. Battie has put up
20/12 numbers against some of the best teams in the country, Thomas has not
impressed me at all, he has had only a couple really good games. Van Horn
has put up some good numbers, but he usually disappears in games against
top ranked teams . The tournament will tell for him.
Vaughn is a great playmaker, but with limited shooting range (Sherman
Douglas ?), I would take Billups before him. Also I would put Willoughby,
Cotton, & Ed Gray ahead of Parker. Ed Gray has quietly put up some
respectable numbers.
