Awful awful list. I know it's hard to come up with a Top 50 list, but this one just lacks common sense.

Just to mention a few:
- Where's Yao Ming?
- How many minutes have John Wall played in the NBA? And he's already better than 2-time MVP Steve Nash.
- Eric Gordon isn't even the best player on his team.
- Curry, Lee, and Ellis all in Top 30? That like guaranteeing the Warriors to make it to the finals.
- I have never heard of a Top 50 player who shot 37%/37% in a season. I'm talking about Gumby Jennings here.

b;eacher report is becoming a joke. i had no idea that bargnani was better than yao.

Ribalding · Post #6 » by **Ribalding** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 4:08 pm

Kaman more valuable than Aldridge?
Bargnani 3 spots ahead of Aaron Brooks?

I don't care what kind of metrics they used, they obviously never watch basketball.

Knock knock.
Who's there?
This list.

I haven't kept up with basketball the past few years. I'm really not qualified to comment at all.

One that stood out for me though is Tony Parker at 45, then a lot of guys ahead of him who were not that great when I was following the NBA closely.

Maybe Parker has dropped off or those guys have improved a lot, I don't know.

Actually...I can see that. G Wallace rebounds VERY well and is a big + on D. Rose ahead of Paul? That's nuts. Dwight Howard is > D Wade. Grander has to be quite a bit higher. David Lee could rate top 30 if his D was at least average. D probably holds A Brooks back. Rondo may be top 20....but #12??

I'm assuming Yao is missing.....because Yao has been missing. Right now he's playing very limited minutes.
A Bynum is also not on the list.

Most such lists have something I'd not agree with. This ones above average. Worth note it is tending to factor age. Guys like Duncan,Nash,Billups are bound to slide. KG, Shaq,Kidd,are HOF.....but no longer top 50.

I am happy to know that Eric Gordon is better than Steve Nash and Danny Granger.

I must go make some trades on my fantasy teams apparently.
