    48. Robert Covington
    47. Jaylen Brown
    46. Drummond

    Draymond Green isn't better than Dame either. Give Draymond his own team and let's see what he does.

    Dame probably 4-5 spots too low but ranking players is nearly impossible. Very hard to compare value of players playing in different roles / contexts.

    His struggles in the playoffs are probably playing into this ranking too.

    The first thing I do with a list like this is to check whether players from Los Angeles, New York, Boston, and current temporary media darlings are too high. Current ones: Golden State and Houston.

    Dame should not be below Gobert, Green and George for sure.

    CJ shouldn’t be above Mitchell or Tatum though.

    Yeah it sucks but Dame's brand has taken a hit since the Pelicans loss. But I think at some point you have to disregard almost all the national media exposure. At some poiint, they are going to make up their minds about certain players and print what they like. Besides look someone at how CJ deals with it. Pretty slick!

    Welcome back, Ripcityboy! I actually thought about you sometimes.

    Folks, this guy hasn't posted for 14 years. I looked it up.

    I don't understand this new math.

    OKC:
    Best Player = Russell Westbrook = 7th best player in the league
    2nd Best Player = Paul George = 11th best player in the league
    3rd Best Player = Steven Adams = 38th best player in the league
    Wins = 48

    POR:
    Best Player = Damian Lillard = 15th best player in the league
    2nd Best Player = C.J. McCollum = 33rd Best Player in the League
    3rd Best Player = Jusuf Nurkic - 64th Best Player in the League
    Wins = 49

    Something doesn't add up. They (supposedly) have two players better than out best player and their 3rd best player is (supposedly) on the same level as our 2nd best player.

    Either they think we had the best bench in the league (we didn't), or they REALLY like Evan Turner - in which case why didn't he make the top 100?
