SI.com Top 100 Players......

I really doubt any of them would be excluded from the top 100, that would be ultimate disrespect. We will probably see Favors and Rudy in the top 50 and Hayward in the top 30.
 
3 top 50 easily. I say Hayward top 35, Favors and Gobert top 45.
 
Kobe @54 lol

They had him 24 last year, which was even more laughable. I can respect #54. No one wants to be the publication that completely ****s on Kobe then he turns around and has a good year. Amin Elhassan is pretty much the only media member that completely ****s on him.
 
I think that Gobert should be top 10.
Favors and Hayward should be top 30.

They probably won't be that high though. Should be. But won't be.

Hard to argue that they should be that high when they haven't made the playoffs as a group. You can't put them that high, it wouldn't be deserved.
 
Thadeus Young is 75, so yeah, Favors is top 50.

Gobert can become a top 15 or 20 player this season if he can progress offensively, or at least hit a decent % of his free-throws. In every other aspect, he's already in Dwight Howard territory.

I get that point, but I disagree with it. I think it's about how good I would think they'd be next year, not necessarily what they just did, even though that plays a part in how you see them.

If I were building a team that I wanted to win this year with, Gobert is my number 1 choice in center. He'd be a high priority on my list. I'd take him top10. I like his defense that much. I really believe it translates to winning. I don't think our success last year in the second half is a fluke. It's also not his fault they decided to wait so long to play him. Had they started him in the first place. We might have made the playoffs.
