From ESPN

Currently in the 300s or so, and so far, the most notable is Andrew Bynum at 460 (but still ahead of Thabeet)

Here was 2013 ESPN list::
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

For those interested in the thread on the 2013 ranking, which includes a link to the actual rankings and back to the 2012 thread:

Weird that the DPoY and future HOFer is in the mid-400s. I assume that was a typo.

Harden at 4 and Dwight at 7 seems a bit high. I mean I'm all for it, but as a Rockets fan, I'm not sure I would rank them that high up

I think in the 2014 list, Harden will be 5 or 6, and Howard around 9. Just a guess.

Oh duh. That was 2013. Reading is hard. My bad

Sports Illustrated top 100.

That SI list is hot garbage. Kenneth Faried is the 77th best player in the NBA? Okay.

Anxiously awaiting comments on Duncan landing at 5th.

His late career awards are pretty odd. A two year absence from any accolades, then all-defense and first team All-NBA in 2013, then in 2014 doesn't make all-NBA, all-defense, or even the all-star team yet lands in the SI top 5 as the best big man in the game.

Anthony Davis will be the 3rd best player after Bron and KD this season. Complete monster.

Might be the second best player.

Hasheem Thabeet 2.0 - I stand by my prediction

Rajon Rondo breaks left hand

Anthony Davis was third best last year

CBS Sports did a top 100.

1 & 2: You know who they are.
3. CP3
4. Westbrook
5. Love
6. Griffin
7. Curry
8. Bosh
9. Howard
10. Davis
11. Noah
12. Melo
13. Horford
14. Dirk
15. LaMarcus
16. Marc Gasol
17. Harden
18. Rose
19. Parker
20. Dragic

That cbs list is just awful.

Lin at 100. I'm not a Lin hater, but really? For perspective, they have Bev at 103.

Kobe comes in at 40, bout right since he's played 6 games and is coming back from injury since early 2013.

Lol at that CBS list... They need to stick to the NCAA. Horford better than Aldridge? SI has Horford in at #25... Seems a little more reasonable.

Kobe throws a fit because ESPN ranked him #40

The Link

Kawhi at 24 is too low. He should be in the 15-20 range, imo.

Given the Rondo trade, where does he rank among point guards?

Here is what was written on the 5 for 5 on ESPN:

quote:

---

Ford: He's a third-tier point guard. Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry and Tony Parker are in the first tier. John Wall, Kyle Lowry, Mike Conley, Derrick Rose, Damian Lillard are in that next tier. Rondo is in the third tier along with Kyrie Irving, Jeff Teague, Ty Lawson, and Jrue Holiday. So he's somewhere in the 10-15 range.

---

I think it depends on what you valuate in a PG. Like I think Ty Lawson is very underrated at the 10-15 range. I think Rondo is in the conversation for the top 5 but who does he replace? Parker has been eh this year-to-date. I would replace him with Wall anyways.

My top 5:
Paul
Westbrook
Curry
Wall
Lowry

Right now CP3 is behind Curry and Westbrook, just my opinion. Parker is right there.
