SI's Top 100 NBA Rankings 2020

As a Kings fan I wish Harrison Barnes was around top 75 player but he doesn't belong on the list based on past performance.

75 is basically third best player on a mediocre team. I could see that for Barnes, though I'd probably bump him down to the 80-85 range.

Butler > Siakam >>> Westbrook

Defending at an elite level is more valuable than spamming box score stats with poor efficiency.

2019 Westbrook is a very good defender.

This post is an l.

Jimmy Butler 2019: 2.16 DRPM (1st among SGs)
Pascal Siakam 2019: 2.16 DRPM (9th among PFs)
Russell Westbrook 2019: -0.08 DRPM (32nd among PGs)

I didn’t say Joeger limited Fox’s development. I specifically said it may or may not be good for his development. But Joeger absolutely limited what he did well in the full court and forced him to play a slower paced half court offense his rookie year. But Joeger certainly impacted Fox’s rookie year stats to the point he did not even make 2nd team all Rookie.

Joeger did much of the same with Fox and Bagley in year 1. Expect to see Bagley blow up this year and be a big impact. The things you said were said about Fox last year.

Actually, you said "it may or may be good for his development".

That being said I agree with you Bagley will definitely be a top 100 (probably top 50) offensive player. But how is his defense?

Probably as good as Trae’s or Luka’s...

Not a ringing endorsement I see. Haha

Harden #1 after Curry just ripped his soul in the post season again (this being his best chance to date with the mid-series KD injury in a series tied 2-2) is hilarious. When will some of these people get it. The common denominator on these title runs is always him and Lebron (and great crews). Lebron is still top 3 in some order as well. I troll his stans but he's clearly still absolutely dominant whenever he wants to be. Last season was a wreck of a situation (which, granted, he deserves much of the blame for as far as his off court actions are concerned).

Which is pretty much what he is with Fox and Hield ranked above him. By next year he will be 4th or 5th.
