ESPN Top 100

[JazzGal]

Gobert dropping to 64 from last year's list at 18 - ouch!

It's probably more than he deserves overall. Still needs to prove that he can anchor a top 10 defense. The Jazz should have enough defensive talent as is that it shouldnt be an issue is Walker really is a top 50 player.

I'm not disagreeing with you.... Can you please explain (or even rank) where you're seeing defensive talent?

Well, when you put it THAT way …….

I'm not sure what the gap is between the 64th best player and the 70th best player, but I'm pretty sure it isn't four 1st rounders, a pick swap, Patrick Beverley, Malik Beasley, and Jarred Vanderbilt.

Lauri is #28

Low considering last season in a glass jar, but fair considering he wasnt even a blip on the radar last year.

Highest riser obviously, and holds the same spot DeRozan had a year ago.

^So obviously Lauri is our best player, was anyone missed between Lauri and the 4 in the OP? No one comes to mind. Average team would have 3.3 players in the top 100, so five is nice. On the other hand, four were #70 and below, and our top guy is #28 which is a low ranking for a top player on a team (side note: these rankings mean nothing, and this post is worthless.) but seems about right for the Jazz, all things considered. I hope some of our rookies are good.

League is just absolutely stacked these days. Did the annual fantasy basketball draft the other day, and couldn't believe how many quality players are still there to fill out benches, or not drafted at all. Never been a better time for expansion.

ALso, holy **** ESPN's list was awful.

Giannis over Jokic?

Banchero at 30? Banchero isnt even better than Franz.

Its a projection of this upcoming season. They use the base question "who is gonna have the better year" with 2 options and the 150 or so reporters compare hundreds of guys to each other and they count the score/ranking accordingly.

So Dame factors in to that. I think Jokic is gonna have the better year, but people are so hyped about the Dame+Giannis fit.
