Interesting stat they added with Parsons Chandler Parsons and Steve Francis are the only players in NBA history with at least 3,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, 700 assists and 300 3-pointers in their first three seasons. Still think he belongs more in the area they had him last year. 55-60 range
This list is taking its sweet dang time to come out. Can't stand it. Parsons only 43? Parsons is offend.
Mavs are starting to get very overrated. Chandler Parsons and Tyson Chandler makes that big of a difference? They're acting as if Richard Jefferson and Jameer Nelson are still in their prime. They are going to get found out early and it's gonna hit them hard. Maybe the lack of spotlight will be beneficial to us.

Damn, Kobe at 40? Typically ESPN loves to play into the NBA all-marketing hype. Did Afflalo get mentioned yet? I'd think ESPN would label SGs Harden - Wade/Kobe.

They were indeed idiots. But shouldn't Kobe be praising them for their nuthugging instead? 25th rank last year was at least 200 spots too high for his production.
Wade won't be as injured nor old as Kobe, but he's also no where near as good of a shooter and can't easily get to the hoop easily. Both guys will be among the slower half of SGs in the league with posting up as their main method of getting a basket.
This guy is too low I think he is better than this: 38 Klay Thompson Golden State Warriors SG | Age: 24 | 2013 rank: #60 7.08
