    Not my ranks, but I'm predicting they have Harden at 5 (behind LeBron, KD, Davis and Curry), Dwight in the 15-20 range and Lawson around 50. Ariza probably in the 60-80 range and they'll probably have Jones over D-Mo, because ESPN tends to underrate D-Mo and look at Jones' superior advanced numbers and conclude he's our best PF. They'll probably have D-Mo, Jones and Bev in the 100-130 range.

    SI.com's top-100 had D-Mo at #98, Ariza at #65, Lawson at #51, Dwight at #19 and Harden at #5.

    They have DMo ahead of Jones. You can already see the order in the "team-by-team" section. Now that Brewer has been ranked today we have

    Beverley
    Jones
    DMo
    Ariza
    Lawson
    Howard
    Harden

    left in that order.

    he is going to surprise people this year. i saw a few plays from him last year that showed me he is special. playing against dwight in practice should help him i would think.

    Clint made almost a 200 spot jump despite playing in 12 regular season games. This is the national media who likely only saw him play in the playoffs. I think that's a lot of respect for a guy who averaged 3pts/3rbs in the playoffs. You can't expect him to make like top 150 based off that. We may be getting ahead of ourselves here.

    Rockets rarely get national media love. I think Harden is 2 or 3 behind Curry and maybe Lebron.

    I'll gues the rankings have Curry, Lebron, KD, Russell, CP3, AD & Blake Griffen ahead of Harden.

    Nah, Harden will be top 5.

    LeBron, Durant, Curry, Davis and Harden are the top 5 in the entire league.

    Ok updated to 131-400.

    Pat Bev & Josh Smith hit the list.

    Interesting note is that Josh Smith hit the list and D-Mo & T-Jo have yet to hit the list, which confirms that ESPN also knows what we already know and what D-Morey already knows: D-Mo & T-Jo will both be better than Josh Smith next year.

    I thought DMo was better than Smith last year and so was TJ before he had that lung injury and started playing scared.

    Harden should be top 5 no doubt. I think he should be ahead of curry honestly. But for some reason, they always list cp3 ahead of harden and I think that's BS. Cp3 is a great floor general and highly competitive but I think harden is on another level.

    Captain Hook hits the list, takes a huge leap forward from last year.
    So now interestingly enough, you get the national fandom's feel on D-Mo & TJ weighed against Josh Smith (#132), or Markief Morris (#106)....2 contentious areas of conversation during the off season.

    He shot significantly worse than the season before and is a year older? Idk, seems reasonable but I don't get the drop really either.
