ESPN Player Rankings - Jazz Players

[Harambe]

I'm not so sure JJ Reddick above Favors makes sense...

So favors fell from 68 to 90? Does this mean that 22 people magically became better than him this past season? Seems strange.

The final nail in the coffin for ESPN player ranking:

Nerlens Noel sat out the entire year, and, without ever playing an NBA game, jumped from #221 to #102

This ranking makes perfect sense -- the ranking was to predict the overall level of play for each player for the upcoming NBA season. In 2003, Noel was injured with little chance to get on the floor, 221 seems even too high. In 2004, he is healthy and looking good in preseason/ summer league, and he seems to have developed offseason. You think the 2013 rankings should have equalled the 2014? That would have been the nail in the coffin.

It sure is strange that players get better year after year.

Asik, Bogut, and ****ing Varejao are apparently better than Favors.

Gordon above Deron. Amazing to think back to their time together.

You mean except favors? Or all players except those that don't? Or every player gets better except ours? I thought a new name meant better posts.

It sure is strange that different players get better at different rates.

It sure is strange that ESPN rankings are completely worthless as a way of assessing those rates.
