Well, this is a nice rebuttal to everyone wondering where Gordon was on the other list, at least.

Weird that Kyle Anderson is considered a big man, though.  I know he's tall but didn't he play PG in college?

That is a solid top 5, I would be happy with any of those (although if we got Randle, we'd have to move Sully).  It drops off pretty hard after that, though

Wait Anderson is a big?

beat me to it. anderson is interesting, but he does not seem to have the height or weight needed to bump bodies under the basket. did he undergo a sudden growth spurt of 3-4 inches in the past month?
