Does anyone else wonder why this is relevant..?

Who ranks 34th? What about 96th? 121st?

ESPN trying to pimp their stats and KP for ROY. I'm sure KAT, ranked 93 RPM, will have something to say about it.

One has to be careful using RPM. Marvin Williams is ranked 21st as comparison. 34th is Will Barton. 96th is Ramon Sessions. 121st is Thaddeus Young.

This doesn't make any sense. ESPN didn't write that.

I believe he is the top ranked rookie. They could have worded it in way that was clear but that would take the fun out. Sometimes finding the point of a RealGM article is like trying to find the last purple horseshoe in a bowl of Lucky Charms!

Let's be honest though, if Porzingis didn't play in NY, that wouldn't have been deemed relevant information.

This has to be the most bizarre statement.

Did a family member, or his agent write the story?

Is RPM an important stat?
