This is the top 10 rookies according to www.espn.com right now. I would have to agree with most of them except for Greg Oden. He has been hurt already and hasn't played nearly the number of games that the other 9 have. I am not ripping on him and I am an Ohio State fan. I don't think he is even the best rookie on his team. Rudy Fernandez is by far the best on Portland. I also think that DJ Augustin should be in the top 5. I understand that this list will constantly change, but here would be my top five:
1. O.J. Mayo
2. Rudy Fernandez
3. Derrick Rose
4. Michael Beasley
5. Brook Lopez
