ESPN Player Rankings

[todaloop]

ESPN ranked 500 NBA players: http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11741891/2014-nba-player-rankings-11-15 This are how the Bulls were ranked and last years ranking.  It will be interesting to look back after the season ends to judge their choices

Based on the play so far, Butler and Brooks have played far better than these rankings.

Opinions?

They ranked Kawhi Leonard and Serge Ibaka ahead of Kobe in that same ranking. It's one of the most laughable rankings I've ever seen. I'm going to pretend not to be offended that Derrick Rose is ranked 28th.

It's based on what they predict these guys do this coming year, fwiw.

Considering Kobe was coming off a pretty bad injury, it's not hard to imagine Kobe not doing as well as Leonard and Ibaka.

I'm going to pretend not to be offended that you think Derrick Rose should be ranked any higher considering he played 10 games over 2 years.

Pretty much what SKK said...I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the Bulls players out play their rankings though. Especially Gasol and Butler.
