The Ringer Top 100 - Updated on 12/11

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Utah only has one player, Lauri, who is ranked 39th.

Utah is the only team with a single player in the top 100. Washington has no players in the top 100.

A lot of stars who have been top guys but are having awful years got the benefit of the doubt in the rankings over Lauri, like Kawhi and Paul George.

Derrick White, who is a fantastic role player, somehow got ranked 35th. Kind of questionable. He is an amazing player, but if he was put in Lauri's position I would imagine he wouldnt even be in the top 60.

Hard to argue Lauri should be higher than he is, especially with how poor he’s been this year. The Jazz don’t have much talent. Our players were highly overrated coming into the season.

We came back and beat HOU in a preseason game though, so I can see why everyone thought we’d be so good.

 

[HadAnEffectHere]

Lauri has been one of the worst defensive players in the NBA this year and has declined a good bit on offense this year.

He needs to get his athleticism back.

The Jazz are the worst defensive team in NBA history other than Walker and it's not really close so all of our players should be significantly dinged for that.
