NBADraft.Net: Top 10 Rookies - Preseason Edition

NBA Draft.net dropped their preseason top 10 rookies. Where did Ike rank?
5) PF Ike Diogu - Golden State Warriors

Diogu should be great for the Warriors. Troy Murphy and Adonal Foyle are both very active on the boards but Diogu will bring an added tenacity of the boards that the Warriors' frontline has lacked. Diogu does not need the ball to score and with Baron Davis, Jason Richardson and Mike Dunleavy already entrenched in their positions; he will be welcomed with open arms so they can freely jack up jumpers knowing they have a great offensive rebounder down low. The Warriors finished last season very strong and look for them to pick up where they left off last season with Diogu getting a healthy share of minutes.
He's ranked behind: 1) Chris Paul, 2) Deron Williams, 3) Sarunas Jasikevicius, 4) Rashad McCants.

Some notable omissions from the list: Marvin Williams, Danny Granger, and Hakim Warrick.

1) How can they leave off those guys?
2) Will Ike finish as the 5th best rookie?
