OK, after reading the list, the next thing I want to complain about is.
one, Westbrook ranks 65th?
Seeing that Westbrook ranked 65th, I confirmed that this is the top 100 players, not the worst players. In my mind, he is almost the 65th worst player in the league. Any judge who can rank Westbrook on the list of top 100 players in 22-23 should throw away his Nokia phone. Don’t look at A shares and think it’s 2011 when you look at A shares or 3100 points.
2, Spurs 0 people were selected for
Although everyone knows that the Spurs are going to dive Wenban Yama (or Wenban Yama? It doesn't matter anyway, you know who I'm talking about).But is Kelden Johnson really not enough to rank among the top 100 players? A wing who is averaging 17 points and 6.1 rebounds, a three-point shooting percentage of 39.8%, and is only 22 years old. He is not as good as a rookie Keegan Murray who has not played yet, the old Conley (35 years old!), the shy Clarkson , the inefficient Leville ? The Spurs can be underestimated, but Johnson should be among the top 100.
3, Bain and klay , should we change positions?
Player A: Average of 18.2+4.4+2.7, three-point shooting percentage is 43.6%, real shooting percentage is 59.2%, +3.1 raptor offensive plus and negative (31st in the league).
Player B: Average of 20.4+3.9+2.8, three-point shooting percentage 38.5%, real shooting percentage 54.7%, +1.0 raptor offensive plus and negative (80th in the league).
Results Player B ranked 37th, and Player A ranked 69th? Everyone loves Clay Thompson , but the 24-year-old Bain is the rising new generation of outside gunners. Clay deserves to enter the top 50, but he shouldn't be 32 above Bain, which is too exaggerated.
4, La Liwen is too high
La Liwen ranks before DeRozan, Ingram , Siakam , Garland ? How can a defender who has only dribbling skills in NBA third-rate and cannot hold the ball to start the pick-and-roll? How can he get such a high ranking? With 3 minutes left before the end of the game, do you want the ball to be in Laven's hands, or DeRozan, Ingram, Garland? You will just beg Raven not to throw the ball away.
5, who is underestimated? Who is overrated?
In my mind, the underrated players on this list include: Garland (46), Ingram (29), Allen (52).
Overrated players include:
Sabonis (47). Let’s see his struggle performance in European Cup . The Kings have given him Monk and Hurt, but is that enough? As an inside lineman, it is fatal to have no main attack ability and the ability to open up space.
Green (43), stop talking, give Curri one.
Smart (34), although he won the best defensive player last season, a point guard who has a half-baked offense and often makes mistakes in cerebral hemorrhage should not appear in the top 40.
Klay Thompson (37), the honor of the championship has brought him to an overly high ranking.
DeRozan (28), in the past few years, ESPN ranked DeRozan in Danny Green , which caused an uproar. Last year ESPN ranked DeRozan as the worst signing in the offseason. DeRozan's performance alone was indeed worthy of the top 30, but considering the unoptimistic prospects of the Bulls and DeRozan's defensive weak ring, the ranking of 28 is still a bit overcorrect.
Lowry (60), if Lowry can switch to Barnes who ranks behind him, OG-Anunobi, Heat fans will disagree? Lowry is good, but he is too old.
Leville (80), he shouldn't be among the top 100 players.
6, I can't tell the truth
Zion (40). Last season, he was ranked 23rd by ESPN, and he didn't beat in a season and lost 17 places. The Pelicans gave Zion a maximum salary during the offseason. Of course, a healthy Zion deserves the maximum salary. The question is when will Zion be completely healthy? There are 72 Porter, who is similar to Zion.
Irving (33), there are a group of people complaining about Irving in which position, because no one knows what work he can do next season. But even if I only look at his performance on the court, Irving is difficult to rank among the top 20 in the league. 33 is an ambiguous ranking.
Alexander (48), I thought at first that Alexander's ranking was too low, but how many people watched the Thunder team game? Not many people watched it. A game with too low value will naturally make Alexander's true level confusing. If you want to improve your ranking, you can expect Thunder to play like a real NBA team.
There are two rookies in this list, Ban Kairo and Murray, Jabary Smith and Ivy will use this list to motivate themselves? Will those players who are not ranked in the top 100 because these two people are ranked in the top 100 and show extra fighting spirit when facing these two in the regular season?
OK, that’s all for the complaints about ESPN ranking. If you have any more to complain about, please express your opinions in the comment section.
