This guy ranks each position in the NBA. For the sake of us, he ranked Darren 23rd among point guards, Danny 6th among small forwards, Tyler 23rd at power forward, and Roy 16th at center.

Okay, so this guy's list...I agree with the top 5 or so of each center, but let's be honest, those are kind of a given. Rose/Paul/Deron Williams, Kobe/Wade, LeBron/Durant/Melo, Nowitzki/Griffin/Amare, Dwight Howard.

However, a lot of the lists are complete head-scratchers. For example, in his SG list, he has Ben Gordon 15th and O.J. Mayo behind the likes of Vince Carter, Courtney Lee, Arron Afflalo, and Tony Allen. At SF, Josh Smith was behind the likes of Gallinari and Thaddeus Young. So some of his rankings are a little suspect, like Roy at 16 behind the likes of Anderson Varejao, Marcus Camby, and Marcin Gortat.

Thoughts on this guy's lists?

It is weird, but actually, Tony Allen and Arron Afflalo are great defenders with 1st-team all-D talent while Mayo had to come off the bench. As for some of these other ones, though, whatever. I also don't like the crossover that you get between positions.

He also has George Hill as the 18th best PG. Roy Hibbert is ranked to low, other than that his list is fair.

[Pacersike]

I wouldn't have put him so high, but I think arguments can be found to put Hill above Collison.

I think he will surprise some folks next year.

These are solid rankings. I disagree with some of it such as Conley and Lowry over Billups. I did not look too close at the list but from what I saw, my biggest disagreement would be having Noah at 4. Good C but in my book, no way is he better than Bynum, Gasol, and Lopez just to mention a few.
