SI's Top 100 NBA players

I think it is safe to assume Kemba and Jefferson in the top 50 considering both were not included in SI's Notable Top 100 Omissions list...http://nba.si.com/2013/09/16/nba-top-100-players-omissions-jeremy-lin-jeff-green/

 

Gerald Henderson though was in their notable omissions list:  

 

Gerald Henderson, Charlotte Bobcats (G, 25)

2012-13 stats: 31.4 MPG, 15.5 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 2.6 APG, 44.7 FG%, 33.0 3FG%
2012-13 advanced stats: 16.4 PER, 3.3 Win Shares, -0.9 RAPM

Henderson was a close cut, done in largely by an absence of definitive strengths. He does a terrific job of filling in the gaps that crop up in any lineup, but there’s an unfortunate cost in being only pretty good in so many phases of the game. The lack of a singular, specific talent is unmistakable; Henderson isn’t a versatile enough ball-handler to initiate offense more frequently; he shoots well from mid-range but hasn’t yet had a league-average season from beyond the arc; he posts up effectively but without the stability to be an offensive focal point; and he rates as a merely good perimeter defender. That potpourri of skills makes him a very useful player, but one who is difficult to define and compare favorably to those in the top 100. — RM

Kemba top50? LOL yea right. Yall dreaming too hard. The kid has a long way to go before he even hit top 100.

Now you're just trolling again. Look at his PER, scoring and assists averages. Look at who is in the top 100. Many of those guys' numbers are below his across the board. Take off your Chris Paul blinders and be unbiased for a minute. He should be in the top 75 at worst.

Using Hollinger's PER...a stat oblivious to position that takes into account all the positive contributions a player makes (statistically) and subtracts the negative. 

Kemba was the 8th ranked PG in the entire NBA last year (18.86)

4th ranked PG in the EAST

 

NBA top Ten PG's using PER
*=Eastern Conference

1.  Chris Paul (26.43)
2.  Russel Westbrook (23.98)
3.  Tony Parker (23.10)
4.  Kyrie Irving (21.51)*
5.  Stephen Curry (21.34)

6.  John Wall (20.91)*

7.  Deron Williams (20.38)*

8.  Kemba Walker (18.86)*

9.  Jose Calderon (18.80)

10. Mike Conley (18.38)

Don't show that statistic to Bobcats fans. They hate seeing factual information displaying how good Kemba is, because they're still wearing faded Raymond Felton and D.J. Augustin jerseys. 

 

I can't wait for a Biyombo fanboy to tell us Biz will be top 50 or top 100 soon.

I wanna see more of Kemba overtaking game and playing like a franchise player befor Ima let some stats prove me other wise. Stats not my thing. You know that. I need performance of the court. That's just my opinion.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
