According a post by the Sports Law Blog, the Sports Agents for Tyrus Thomas (formerly of LSU) have been trying to coerce a major NBA draft ranking website into changing their listing and bump up their client (Mr. Thomas) up from his current position of #7.

While it is true that many people are talking about Tyrus Thomas going #1 to the Toronto Raptors, the real issue is over whether or not Sports Agents should be preoccupied with trying to make websites change their rankings, and how influential those ranking sites truly are.

What do you think?
