Hoopshype put out their rankings after the Finals. Biggest risers were Brown and White
https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-ranking-top-100-players/

Here's where the Celtics landed on their list:
#7-Tatum (I got him at #5 given his overall game + enormous gravity. I can't rate Brunson, SGA, or Edwards over him lol).
#8-Brown (Top 10 is a little high for me but he's close and in my Top 15 but could get to Top 10 if his playoff form carries over).
#32-White (Pretty close to where I would put him mid 30's given his impact on both ends and clutch play).
#48-Jrue (Too low given his impact on both ends; wrecking ball defense. s/b close to White maybe mid/late 30s but regular season production has to be weighted here too).
#50-KP (A bit too low but have him closer to 40 given his enormous impact on both ends but he's so injury prone you have to penalize him. If he had good durability, he's a top 20 talent.

No Grant Williams on the list and Embiid at 19 is just :lol:
