Good idea but I think ESPN is directing this ranking at fans only. I believe teams rate players by their talent and how rare their skills are, how rare the player archetype is. Basically Supply and Demand .....basic economy.
People click and react when there is something to be mad about and stay silently happy when they agree with you. They need the money so best to piss off as many people as possible.
ESPN only makes lists to piss people off and make them comment about it. so that they click and complain and talk about it. Everything they do is about money.
He’s wrong to use Westbrook as his example of others being too highly rated. I would have a hard time finding room for Russ in the top 150.
