    I could be wrong, but I think you are agreeing with The HCP.

    I am SO looking forward to seeing CJ clown more defenders next season.

    A little arithmetic (several reasonablish assumptions made):

    What Tier Starter?
    There are 30 teams and 150 starters. If you're in the top 100, then you should be a starter, whether you are or not. In particular, Plumlee at #94 ranks as a 94*5/150 = 3.13, i.e. he is worthy of being a third best player on an average team.

    What Tier Playoff Starter?
    There are 16 playoff teams and 80 starters. If you're in the top 100, then you should be a starter, whether you are or not. In particular, Plumlee at #94 ranks as a 94*5/80 = 5.88. A playoff 5th best starter should be between 4.5 and 5.5. He is barely not worthy of being a starter on an average playoff team (according to SI) - his play must be compensated for by other players

    Player: Absolute Rank, Positional Rank, Positional Playoff Rank
    Plumlee: 94, 3.13, 5.88
    CJ: 50, 1.67, 3.13


    Note:
    0.01 - 1.00 Best Player on Team (0.50 is approximate average)
    1.01 - 2.00 2nd Best Player on Team (1.50 is approximate average)
    2.01 - 3.00 3rd Best Player on Team (2.50 is approximate average)
    3.01 - 4.00 4th Best Player on Team (3.50 is approximate average)
    4.01 - 5.00 5th Best Player on Team (4.50 is approximate average)

    Are you suggesting that the 80 starters on the 16 playoff teams are all better than the 70 starters on the 14 lottery teams?

    Because going over the rankings in my head it seemed like it would be close.

    And it was.

    Considering that Henderson wasn't mentioned at all asking who would have been ranked higher would have been a little silly.

    My first thought was no. My second thought was yes. My third thought is no, again. However, most players numbers are actually lower than they should be because some of the better players are not actually on playoff teams.

    Regardless, the nonplayoff players could be removed in a more comprehensive analysis.

    They said CJ didn't show any primary playmaking skills. I guess they didn't watch when Dame was out last year...

    Aging backup Iguodala is 6 spots higher than CJ. Not buying it.

    I didn't say it would be credible.

    Apparently Steven Adams and Serge Ibaka are better than Isaiah Thomas, DeMar Derozen, and CJ McCollum. Such stupidity. I will be putting out a top 100 list to match. It will be better.
