    The interesting name here is Patrick Beverley.

    Is he so good he is in the top 50, or so bad he didn't even make the omissions list?

    Interesting list.

    Some that stood out to me:

    There are some names I like better than Parsons, including Asik who I would have 5-10 spots higher.

    Probably have Ariza about 5-10 spots higher.

    Faried would be higher for me.

    Klay Thompson at 54 seems like the right area, but just seeing the number makes me wonder what the hell GState was thinking if they really nixed the Love trade because of him.

    I forgot where Lowry was on the SI list last season, but I'm pretty sure Dragic was around 110 near Jeremy Lin. Looks like Dragic, Lowry and Rondo will be in the top 50 this season.

    Clip about the expected hate mail for snubs.

    Lance Stephenson gets no respect

    Also, Ariza has to be better than Matthews and Amir Johnson

    wow Isaiah Thomas at 90??? He was a top 25 or so fantasy player last year if I remember correctly... IMO he should be at worst around 50-60.

    It will be interesting how Harden will be ranked especially in ESPN's ranking. He was 4 last season but with all the media hate, will ge dip out of the top 10?

    To me, even with the in what should be fixable, defensive problems, Harden is still one of the top 3 or 4 offensive talents in the league. Only behind Durant, Melo and Lebron. He is simply devastating on offense. Shall be interesting.

    Also Howard's ranking too. He was hands down the best center in the league but how much does the media hate him will affect the rankings.

    Parsons should feel insulted if 66th placed Monta Ellis is made the main perimeter player.

    they were horrible because of their defense though (he was def part of the problem), but he was very efficient for a guard and scored over 20 ppg and more than 6 apg on 45%+ FG%. He also had over a 20 PER and 57%+ TS%. He is one of the most underrated offensive players in the league IMO

    Roy Hibbert is ranked ahead of too many players that are better than him.

    Blazers starting 5 all in the top 100.

    Cavs are close with 4 in the top 100 and Waiters on the omissions list.

    Any other team have 5 in the top 100?

    Wow, Rudy Gay at 67? That's a long way from Kevin Durant.

    Jeremy Lin is not in the top 10? There is something wrong with this list.
