SI Top 100 Players (100-31 so far)

Can you believe it, they have Donovan at 34! Just ahead of him is CJ McCollum at 33 and just behind Tatum at 39, and Simmons still to come, as they have the top 30 yet to go
 
Rudy belongs in the top 12-15
Donovan belongs in the top 30
Rubio and Jingles should be above Favors (no disrespect to Favs)

Simmons is going to be way too damn high on this list most likely.
 
So according to this ranking Rubio is our weakest starter. Do you all agree? If not who is the weakest starter?

Pre all star I agree, post all star I disagree. I guess we will see what we get going forward.

I think Rubio was our 3rd best starter post all star. Favors was probably our weakest and Ingles just ahead of him. But it's pretty hard to tell with our team since we play team ball.

Honestly I would rank favors as the 5th best, then Ricky, then jingles, and I honestly can’t choose who is better between DM and Rudy.
Dat DM rookie year highlight video doe.

6. Utah Jazz[/paste:font]
RANK SCORE
Players 8 72.5
Management T-4 80.0
Money 12 60.0
Market T-25 30.0
Draft T-20 40.0
Overall: 66.5



Thanks to Donovan Mitchell's rapid rise, the Jazz have an ideal combination of current talent and future flexibility. Having gone 30-8 after Rudy Gobert returned from injury in January, a 65-win pace over a full season, Utah has the third-best 2018-19 projection of any team, using ESPN's real plus-minus (RPM). With Mitchell scheduled to make less than $12 million total over the next three seasons, the Jazz could still clear max cap space next summer to add to their core of him and Gobert.

Granted, Utah has questions to answer. Clearing max cap room would require the Jazz to waive starting power forward Derrick Favors and renounce the rights to starting point guard Ricky Rubio, an unrestricted free agent next summer. Utah also must prove it can maintain this level over a full season. If so, the Jazz could move even higher in the rankings.

It's a one year exercise, so I could see DM surpassing him now... might have a slow start working off the rust. His health should be 100%, but he did have the follow up surgery... not an injury where they expect lingering issues, but serious injuries always have potential to set a guy back physically.

Naw, I think a lot of people think that DM is going to have a rough year as the focus of the other teams defense. Granted, they would be ignoring last year's playoffs, but they are going to do it. Mainly a lot of people just don't watch the Jazz.
