Top 100 NBA Players 2023

Nice quiz but I still can't believe that ESPN ranked Ja, DBook, KAT, and PG13 over Ice Trae like don't get me wrong they're all nice as hell but Trae literally had a 28.4/9.7 season average last season

Kyrie is way too low... media hates him even if he won MVP he wouldn't be top 15. Then again, ESPN lists somehow get worse each year. Also, plenty of guys like Wiggins, Cade, and Smart are too high. No way right now that Cade Cunningham is better than Shai. Jimmy is also too low

One thing I've learned is that ESPN Ratings are complete garbage

Got 79/100. I'll never understand why they put drafted players like Banchero on the list when he's never played a single NBA game. I understand it's all speculation, but I think that they should rank the players who have already played a full season.

After watching a couple Jazz games, it astounds me that they didn't add Markkanen

The ESPN predictions were already wrong, but as usual, they look even worse now, though not necessarily at the fault of their analysts, rather some players falling short of expectations and some players exceeding expectations. Looking at the league now, it's clear that some things should have been changed around. For example:

- Luka should have been 2nd

- LeBron should have been lower

- Harden should be lower

- Kawhi should be WAYYYY lower

- Dame should be higher

- Donovan should be WAYYYY higher

- Klay should be lower

- Maxey should be higher

- SGA as usual goes underrated (WAY Higher)

- De'Aaron should be higher

- Haliburton should be higher

- Westbrook should be higher

- Paolo should be WAY higher

- Anfernee should be higher

- Markkanen was robbed, should be at least top 30

Hopefully my predictions last throughout the season :)

These lists are wrong on purpose. They're always close enough to seem reasonable and serious (they're not going to put Giannis at 30th), but there's plenty of purposefully controversial picks so that people will discuss and debate (on Twitter, Reddit, this comment section, etc.) and drive engagement.

For example, nobody with even a passing knowledge of the NBA/basketball could seriously rate Shai below Draymond or Barnes (before this season) for example.

Porzingis is criminally low
