Discuss ESPN's #NBArank - Non Jazz Player Edition

[nightmare3983]

There's a thread about this in the Jazz forum focusing on where Jazz players are ranked by a panel ESPN put together. They're revealing rankings for 20 players each weekday (excluding Labor Day) until they get to #1. Here's a link to today's: https://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8339576/2012-nba-player-rankings-161-180 (this page has links to the other rankings). Anyway, feel free to comment on non-Jazz player rankings that you think are too high, too low, or surprise you for whatever reason. This thread was inspired by Steve Novak being ranked at #176.

I think that's pretty high for someone who had the following stat line last year: 8.8 PPG, 1.9 RPG, 0.2 APG, 0.3 SPG, 0.2 BPG, 47.8% FG, 47.2% 3FG, 133 3PFG

Sure, he had a fantastic year on 3P%. But of all the one-dimensional three-point shooters I've ever seen, he's the most one-dimensional of them all. No passing, no defense, very little rebounding, and 2.5 3PFG per game. With ESPN ranking 500 players, I fail to see how Novak is even in the top half.

Ill be honest, I get a boner for Psycho T but him and his 40.5 FG% have no place in the top 200.



But seriously, Rush >>>>>>>>>> Novak.

I wish along with the avearge score each player gets they would show the highest and lowest score each player received. That would at least give us an idea of the disparity that comes about when you have over 100 people ranking the players.

This is a great idea.

reading the tweat comments on the site is kind of funny....
Every other player has the comment that this guy is ranked too high by 100 or 200 positions.
Apparently there are about 200 players that are each one of the worst players in the league.

I love the tweets. But yeah, there certainly are a lot of the "worst" players in the league.

It's interesting that they're almost to the top 150 in the league and the scores still haven't gotten to 5 yet.

its also interesting that there has only been like 2 jazz players... no to bad for already being over half way done.
