    Is KPJ even in the top 50?

    Then I'm confused.

    If rookies are on this list due to pure potential, how is KPJ not in the top 100 despite having loads of potential and having actual production in the NBA?

    Baffling.

    Disclaimer, this kind of stuff is pointless.

    However, 30 teams, 5 starters, 150 players. Add 6th men and you're at 180.

    It's not a little crazy to think a team that just had like 10 wins doesn't have a bunch of top 100 players.

    Winning will earn the 2K ratings and the media hype.

    Green is going to easily beat Cunningham out for ROY as long as they play roughly the same amount.

    Cade was touted as the nba-ready guy but he's not as ready as Green. Green looked like it was his 2nd or 3rd summer league, can't say the same for Cade.

    The g-league path is underrated. We have the more prepared player with the higher ceiling imo.

    These lists always give past performance a lot of weight. The fun part will be watching these guys move up the list and switch places over the next few years. Like someone here said, ESPN is just empty calories anyway.

    KPJ is an intriguing player and a talented player but for all of his talent, he has a lot of warts that so far have kept him from being a player that helps his team win games. He was a terrible defensive player last year. He also wasn't very efficient.
