They are halfway through

For the top 15, my guess is that it will go (Kobe excluded):

1. LBJ
2. KD
3. CP360
4. Westbrook
5. Rose
6. Harden
7. Parker
8. Howard
9. Melo
10. DWade
11. Kyrie
12. Duncan
13. Dirk
14. M. Gasol
15. Blake

Pretty solid guesses. I don't think I'd have Rose in my top 10 or Dirk in my top 15 though. Maybe sub him out for Paul George. I think I'd also put Hibbert ahead of Griffin.

Here's Si's top 100 for this year fwiw.

Jason Terry fell almost 100 spots from last year, checking in at 177.

13 player roster with 30 teams. Why are they ranking the top 500?

Wasn't sure where to post this but Westbrook is going to miss the first 4-6 weeks of the season after undergoing additional surgery on his knee.

If I had to put those 15 in order:

1. LBJ
2. KD
3. CP3
4. Rose
5. Harden
6. Parker
7. Westbrook
8. Melo
9. Duncan
10. Howard
11. Kyrie
12. Wade
13. Dirk
14. Gasol
15. Blake

----

I don't think Blake is a top 15 player though. Gasol and Dirk are borderline. I think Curry, George, Hibbert, Love, Rondo are some that could be in there.

Cannot believe Bynum was ranked #13 last year. He's #100 this year.

Bynum shouldn't even crack the top 100 to be honest.

Kobe coming off an Achilles injury at #25 is about right.

This will be a nice story that ESPN created, and ESPN will now critique and discuss ad nauseum, and then ESPN will make a story about this when Kobe finally does come back, discussing "the critics" who don't think he has it anymore and believe he is only the 25th best player in the world.

So Rondo coming off an ACL injury is better than Kobe? Rondo who has played without the Big Three only once in his career? Rondo who has never been a better player than Kobe the entire time he's been in the NBA?

Gasol better than Kobe? Deron Williams in the top 20? LMAO.

John Wall couldn't direct a 3rd grade play, much less an NBA team. Probably not even the best guard on his own team.

He may be number 10 (or 11 depending on your feelings about Ty Lawson). He's definitely not a top 25 player in the NBA and he's definitely not a better player than Kobe Bryant.

He's definitely a top 25, disagree there. But I agree. Before the injury, Bryant was the 3rd or 4th best player in the league last season

I'd say wall comes in around 8 or 9 in terms of best point guards. I'd put Paul, Parker, Westbrook, rose, rondo, Irving, and curry as definitely ahead of him and possibly deron Williams but I'd lean towards wall on that one.

Looks like Dwight will be coming in at 7. There's a small picture at the top right hand corner of the player rank page that looks like Dwight at 7.

Harden is 4. Deservedly so; he's 6th in 2011 and 4th in 2012 in win shares. The trade was a joke on OKC's part.

For those not wanting to check link

1. LBJ
2. KD
3. CP360
4. Harden
5. Westbrook
6. Curry
7. Howard
8. Kyrie
9. Rose
10. M. Gasol

11. KLove
12. Parker
13. Paul George
14. Blake
15. Melo

16. Duncan
17. LaMarcus
18. DWade
19. Horford
20. DWill

When they do their midseason adjustment, Rose will be in the top 5, but I'm not sure who he'll bump out.
I still believe KLove is slightly overrated player who should be closer to 20 than 10.

Wherever Roy Hibbert was, it was about 200 spots too close to the top.

Marc Gasol too low, should be at least 7 or higher.
