HoopsHype.comhas released its rankings of thetop free agents in the 2012 class. Portland Trail Blazers Nicolas Batum (6), Jamal Crawford (38), Raymond Felton (45) and J.J. Hickson (56) appear in the top 100. ------------------------------------- Batum is a tad overrated, but has the ability to become consistently productive if he lands on a solid veteran team. Not an answer for a team looking for someone to produce double-figures every night, but very valuable in a role. ------------------------------------- Jonny Flynn (104), Joel Przybilla (133) and Hasheem Thabeet (155) also appear on the list. Other recent Blazers: Gerald Wallace (11), Andre Miller (31), Marcus Camby (36), Rudy Fernandez (64), Jerryd Bayless (80), Patty Mills (96), Brandon Roy (112) and Armon Johnson (158). The top five above Batum: Deron Williams, Roy Hibbert, Eric Gordon, Steve Nash and Kevin Garnett. -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com |Twitter
