Here’s a sneak peak at the Top 30 players who may be available in the 2012 NBA Draft.

Amir Johnson has given up inches and pounds every game this season as he makes the transition from playing power forward to sliding into his new role as Toronto’s starting centre. This season he has battled in the post against Roy Hibbert, Dwight Howard and Tyson Chandler, yet he is still averaging a team-high 7.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in just under 30 minutes of burn.

Luke Ridnour chatted with me about Tim Tebow, his faith in God and doing ministry work with his wife.

Ricky Rubio chatted with the media about Jose Calderon’s impact on his game, his rookie season in the NBA and why he doesn’t regret playing in Europe last season.

Kevin Love chatted with the media tonight about Ricky Rubio, Minnesota having their own version of a “Big 3″ and the buzz surrounding the Timberwolves this season.

Amir Johnson chatted with me about playing through injuries, doing the little things to help Toronto win games and battling against bigger centre’s.

New Jersey had their way from beyond the arc (15-31) and Toronto wasn’t aggressive in cleaning the glass which allowed New Jersey to score 28 second chance points. Throw in the 21 points New Jersey scored off of Toronto’s turnovers and it was a messy game for Toronto.
