Yeah I don't even think he deserves to be 38. He's an elite 3rd banana as of now, maybe he diversifies his offense and becomes more than just a jump shooter, but he isn't there yet.

Batum > Parsons. How do you flap your gums like that and then have the other guy clearly outshine you head to head? Come on, ESPN. And how is Trev miles apart from both those guys in the rankings?
Cause he doesn't really create offensively. Compare the assists. I don't know that he should be far behind those two (I don't even know where he is) but I would put them ahead of him.
I predict that Marc Gasol will drop in the rankings, probably to 15-17 range this year. However, he should be ahead of dwight, but he won't be. dwight is going to drop as well. Probably to 12-13 range.
By the way, I think Conley and Randolph's ranking was very fair. Good to see that the grizzlies get respect an espn.
Also, there is no universe were Kyle Lowry is a better point guard than Mike Conley. It's laughable to think that. Lowry is one of the most overrated playing in the league.
Conley is better than Randolph in just about every way. Zach can be defended easily nowadays by players with length due to the fact that nobody in the league thinks Randolph can hit that 20 footer. Conley, on the other hand, gives every point guard in the league fits by the way he plays. You can't go under screens, because he'll bury you with outside shots, you can't guard him close because he'll fly by you with a running teardrop jumper or a layup at the basket. You can't foul him because he shoots over 80% from the ft line. Conley also plays stellar defense, something randolph doesn't do either. Conley is still the most underrated player in the league, due mainly because he doesn't shoot enough, because the nba heads value POINT SCORING over everything else.
Crazy doesn't begin to describe it. He's not even an all star this year. Thompson's got to be the most overrated guy in the league.
That's completely false. After Gasol, Conley is their most important player. He's a 2-way player; Randolph isn't. Conley dictates that offense, along with Gasol from the interior.
Well I could see you saying that Conley is better than Lowry, but to act like Conley is leagues ahead of him is kinda funny.
i'm sure he'll be right about dwight being higher than marc, but only partial credit for suggesting it would be wrong.
