TheNorthCydeRises Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Bazemore - 90 Korver - 70 Dwight - 34 Looks like Dennis will be out of the top 100, unless they have him in the top 30, which hasn't been released yet. This link will update on its own. http://www.si.com/nba/2016/09/12/nba-top-100-player-rankings Edited September 13, 2016 by TheNorthCydeRises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNorthCydeRises Posted September 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Marvin at #65 ... the 2nd highest ranked player from the Knight/Sund era. Only drama now is if Horford will be ranked above Millsap, and in the top 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted September 13, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 So Sap will be up there obviously. Every Celtic starter will be there with Al being by far the highest ranked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. Next year when the experts are all but 'certain' that the Celtics will take the next step after getting knocked off in the first round (again), they'll have all five of their starters in the top-20 and a few of their reserves in the top-50. This year, they'll settle for ranking our former center in the top-5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Millsap, PF, Hawks SHARE ROB MAHONEY Wednesday September 14th, 2016 Millsap came into the league as a undersized rebounding specialist and emerged over the last few seasons as one of the game’s best frontcourt defenders. The direction of the modern game suits him;Millsap’s quick feet make him an easy switch between wings and bigs and a decent option to step up against a point guard in a pinch. The list of players who could really work Millsap over is limited to a few of the truly elite. Everyone else is within his defensive range—the quick hands, the smart positioning, the effort contests. Millsap works his ass off to play both bigger and smaller than he is, depending on his situation. Atlanta needed rim protection so Millsap did what he could to provide it. Some other team with different needs might move Millsap over to guard small forwards more regularly. What matters is the option—that a big would be mobile and skilled enough to make himself a viable a candidate for so many different defensive roles. Millsap’s game is a riff on the same principles that make DraymondGreen so damn effective. It’s an interesting comparison: Green is a slightly better defender and passer but Millsap is the more capable scorer and rebounder. There are situations in which one would clearly make more sense than the other, but in a general sense they share an otherwise unique corner of the NBA landscape. Bigs who make plays, spread the floor, and defend well across multiple positions are catalyzing the best teams in the league.Millsap is that sort—complete with a capable handle and effective post game that help him fill out the box score. (Last year: No. 32) + Talented, fluid passer who can make smart reads on the move+ Great hands: In the Kawhi Leonard range in steal %– Had a down shooting season (31.9%) from the three-point line, couldn’t punish defenses for leaving him– In good, crowded company in that he can’t really guard LeBron James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTB Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 1 hour ago, capstone21 said: Al is better then Dwight with the exception of rebounding ... Sorry but I disagree....Howard like Horford need to be in an offense that best suites his skill set. With Howard having the ability to get so many easy points in .... -early post ups -easy alley opps -hard rolls to the basket -being able to over power certain individuals whether it be weaker centers or mismatches Its obvious to me that Howard is better when he plays to his skill set which Bud (being the smart guru offensive minded coach he is) will get out of Howard....Horford is more mobile and can shoot but if we are going off who's better as of being an actual CENTER its Howard. So all of that including the fact that he's not just better but a way better rebounder than Horford and rim protector puts Howard over the top in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators macdaddy Posted September 15, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 This year will tell us a lot about both Al and Dwight. Dwight is getting dinged for having a down scoring year but somehow Al is still highly regarded despite the last 2 years being his lowest rebound totals of his career by far and going to the line a lot less. It'll be interesting to see if stretch 5s continue to stay in vogue. But I'm not mad about the rankings. Dwight has a lot to prove and other than rebounds and playing inside Al has been amazingly consistent and on winning teams. As a hawk fan though i'm a little tired of just consistency and would like to see some physicality and domination even if it comes with some off nights.
