ESPN-2012 NBA Player Rankings
- Thread starter Weezur
- Start date
So, the average ranking of the Jazz players that are currently on the roster is 229 (rounded). The average score of all the Jazz players is 4.21.

which means that (according to voters) our best player is as good as the average team's second-best player.
btw, i would trade al straight up for MOST of the guys in the 20 spots right behind him.

This is a very telling thought. Not to mention a lot of them make a few million less a year.

You know that you were hoping to beat me.

Really? I sure wouldn't. There are for sure a handful that i'd trade him for but certainly not most of the guys 20 spots behind.
So sports writers think Jefferson is our best player. I'm assuming we don't have any Jazzfanz amongst major sports writers. Personally, I think he's still a bit underrated in these rankings. Have we seen Josh Smith yet, or Joe Johnson, or the aging Paul Pierce? Nonetheless, Jefferson's value probably isn't going to go up much from here. We're probably approaching a sell-high situation.

Millsap not cracking top 50 and Gordon not cracking top 100 were both travesties.
FWIW, CBS Sports did a similar ranking, and Millsap was ranked ahead of Jefferson. Some food for thought.

I agree with the the first sentence 100%. Do you have a link to the CBS Sports rankings? I found some statistical-based rankings they have but Jefferson was ahead of Millsap in those, so I assume you're talkng about something different.
I hope Favors is top-25 next year.

Millsap is ranked 36th, Al is rated 50th: https://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/...on-basketballs-elite-100-no-100-through-no-50
36 is really good for Millsap. Good descriptions for both players as well
Thanks. There really is a lot of good NBA stuff around.

so it looks like CBS's ratings were prepared by three CBS bloggers, versus the 104 espn involved. two of their guys ranked millsap #31 in the league (which makes sense -- that's fringe all-star territory, where sap has been for the last 2-3 years) and the third guy ranked him #61, which brought his average down.
i think the 3-man rating team is actually a little more accurate, assuming you've got three guys who actually watch all teams. the problem with ESPN's list of voters is that a HUGE number of their 104 are team bloggers that mostly cover one team. how well does some guy who blogs about the orlando magic know about al, paul or gordon, ya know?

Great point. This was also witnessed on Hoopsworld when they mentioned that Jefferson was the best defensive player that the Jazz have and that Favors might be there soon.
