Links to the Present: September 20, 2013 – #NBArank; The Worst Two Hundred Players
2013-09-20
ESPN is progressing through the NBA’s top-500 players. Currently, the countdown includes the bottom 200.
Of Cavs at this point:
- Carrick Felix resides at 472.
- Sergey Karsev finds himself 314.
That’s it; so ESPN’s conglomerate of experts deems 11 Cavaliers as legitimate NBA rotation players this season. Glad to hear it.
In other news, Anthony Bennett returned to unrestricted 5-on-5 play this week. He “needs to get in much better shape”, a story that Colin intends to watch very closely.
Finally, Terry Pluto reports that Cleveland is “in no rush for (Bynum) to play early in camp”; a little tidbit in what is certainly the foremost saga of the preseason. Fingers crossed…
Yes – thanks, Kevin – I see what you were going for. Apologies!
top 500?
divided by 30 teams = 16.66667
How many on a roster per team? 15 (or 450 league-wide + injured, etc.)
How many are in a team’s rotation? 10?
So only the top 300 or so are “rotation-quality” players?
Or am I missing something?? ;)
rick in boise,
I don’t know if you’re missing something or not. I was indicating that the remaining 300 players are “rotation-quality”; 10 per team as you note. For the Cavs, the 11 are: Kyrie, Tristan, Dion, Varejao, Bynum, Gee, Clark, Miles, Zeller, Jack, Bennett.
