SI's Top 100 NBA players


Captain Morgan

Recommended Posts

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.

    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep. 
    • Cooter was a good dude for sure. 
    • We both been here about the same amount of time. Whatever happened to Livermush? I know Cooter passed aways years ago...and so many others?
