[Anglefan]

You think he's certain to be in the top 20?

You think he's certain to be in the top 20?

Let's see... Yes.

431- Luke Walton (2011 Rank: 318)

 

[Maximus]

I'm actually guessing he's outside the top 20...I'll say ESPN has him at #23, just to be cute.

 

[ice cream man]

I'd be shocked if he made the top 20. I think he'll be 25-30.

 

[Stark]

He'll be somewhere between 20-30.

I read a few Bleacher Report (yes, BR) articles of people doing the same thing, and the lowest I saw him on one was 17, and he was never higher than 30.

EDIT: Poll needs a 21+ option.

 

[FCK_LBJ]

Yeah Bleacher had him around 25 or 20 for the end of the season last year. Remember this is for next season, so theyre looking at the future and not present so i think he will be a higher than most will think. maybe around 20-13

 

[Huber.]

I'm hoping he is at #21 so this thread becomes a fail.

[Stark]

How the hell was Luke Walton #318 last year?

 

[SkaakS]

Because he was on the Lakers

 

[ClevelandOwnz]

is it possible to edit my poll to add one? I can't seem to find it.. i wanted to do 21+ once i made it but couldn't seem to figure it out. But yes i do think he will be a top 20 player.

I don't know of any way for you (or a moderator) to edit a poll that has been started. Gotta live with it.

 

[CPK]

The kid is damn good. In his first season, in which I do think he was out of game shape, he did pretty damn well and put together some great finishes. I believe he's in the top 20 - fuck it if I'm a homer.
