With Nash being a Laker, with a team that can actually win, he's gonna be much better, he'll be able to dish it to Gasol, Bynum(Possibly Howard if they get him), and Kobe. He himself can also put up some points, his defense us lacking, but he's a good pickup for the lakers.

Oh, putting Jeremy Lin in the top 100 at all is a fluke... Playing good in 10-15 games doesn't mean hes a "Top 50 player"

Dragic is probably better than what his ranking said, but the limited amount of minutes he got during the first half of the season made all of his stats lower, making his ranking lower. I'd expect for him to be a bit higher at the end of the next season. Scola is a nice scoring option, as well as being a decent defender, but he is no more than an average rebounder. He just doesn't stand out any more than the people ahead of him in the rankings.

He's most remember for that stretch of 10-15 games that he played well, but he actually played 35 games for the Knicks and averaged 15 PPG 6 APG and 1.6 SPG, which are pretty good numbers for a starting point guard. Plus those averages come with 10 games that he didn't start, with most of them consisting of him getting very few minutes. The main thing that keeps him from getting higher in the rankings, aside obviously from his turnover problems, is his overall defense. He is good at getting steals, but statistics show that he is a below average defender for an NBA player.

JR Smith 99....

Chauncey 81 despite more or less forced into retirement possibly mid season...


I take this with a grain of salt... a grain truck even...

Chauncey still had 15 PPG before his injury, and I'm just going based on last season when he played. JR Smith seems like he should be better than 99, but he is really more of a highlights guy than a good player. His numbers last year were really average for a starting shooting guard.

you may not like a player's personality and whatnot, but that shouldnt have ANYTHING to do with his ranking position, since these r based on skills... I believe most NBA fans dislike LeBron cuz he is a lil girl lol, but no matter what, he is an amazing player, cant disagree with that, outside the court he may be whatever he wants, but on the court he is amazing...

agreed, especially on the Lin part, to be on any ranking u gotta play more than that. I mean, based on those games he would be like top 30 lol...

Either way, i dont think we should be so hard on his ranking, I mean 100 players is tough to do and everyone has different opinions, especially as u get away from top 5-10

Top 15 cuz i can't think of very many more international players. I'm sure there are plenty more worth mentioning in the top 15, and i'm probably forgetting someone big, but this is all i care to think of off the top of my head.
