SI top 100 players: 100-51

Damn, actually kind of surprised Favors is going to be in the top 30.


Expected him to be like 31-35.
 
Is there really a difference between Hood and McCollum?

Hood is a year younger, better midrange, gets to the foul line at a higher ratio of FGA/FTA, and is taller/longer. I think Hood is going to be hte much better player. The only reason McCollum scores more points is because he takes 5 more shots per game. He averages 6 more points while taking 5 more shots, and that is with him having an insanely good year shooting the 3. If Hood ever approaches 40% shooting he will blow McCollum out of the water.

It's hard to properly evaluate from the macro level a very quiet player that very quietly produces on a mediocre/bad team in the smallest market in major pro sports.
 
Also surprised they rated DeRozan so low. I dont like his game, but 46 seems kind of disrespectful for averaging nearly 24 ppg on one of the better Eastern Conference teams.
 
And Dirk at 31? I love their reasoning

+ A cultural anchor whose value to a franchise extends well beyond the court
+ Solid passer well-versed in solving a variety of coverages
– Can be targeted in the pick-and-roll and forced to defend in space
– Now necessary to mind his minutes and games played to endure the long regular season

So basically, he is a GOAT player so we put him at 31.
 
Quick comparison of McCollum and Hood's sophomore years per 100 possessions. It's pretty close, and I'd say Hood was better. Maybe next year Hood will get the opportunity that McCollum got this year.

So Favors is 28 and Hayward is 27. Cute.

Not gonna bother looking who they put ahead of them, as that is not a path to happiness.
