    This should be fun!

    Ric Bucher solidified the #1 slot on draft night. I am pretty sure Mr Lowry did not get sign and traded for Bosh?

    Ramona Shellbourne is well on her way to knocking Bucher off his spot. She always potrays as if she has info, but I'm not sure she has a single inside source?

    I'd say Alex Kennedy. Because he's not credible in any sort of way, yet many think he is one. Broussard for all his flaws at least will actually break a news here and there. He's uttering bull***t 99% of the time, but at least not 100% of the time.

    He used to be a fun fan writer though. Back when he was on ESPN page 2. Also his yearly trade value column used to be a must-read for me. I don't even care if I agree with his statements. His articles were generally quite fun to read because you read them as a random guy's opinion.

    Chris Broussard's lack of credibility is getting overrated due to the multiple sources meme. In reality, Ric Bucher has this on lockdown.

    I mean, Alex Kennedy is only what, 21 years old?

    Definitely Broussard and Bucher for me. I don't really consider Alex Kennedy a analyst he's just a writer to me who also tweets his opinions, he never really breaks news. The 3 best to me are Woj, Sam Amick, and Stein to break news.

    Meh, compared to Woj, they're all losers to me. I guess Amick and Stein are decent though.

    I voted for Kennedy, but all of the names in that list are just terrible.
    I don't know if Sam Smith from Chicago can be considered as a NBA Analyst, he might be the worst of them all IMO.

    Alex Kennedy and Sam Amico are the epitome of clueless. After that, just about anyone from ESPN follows suit, because they are about stories, media headlines, and not actual inside information.

    As stated before, if it isn't Woj or Amick, it's BS.

    The question refers to "analyst" but it looks like most folks are talking about "insiders"

    This. None of these people analyze anything basketball related. All they try to do is report breaking news.

    Simmons is a good litmus test for distinguishing whether or not people know their NBA. He's the pseudo-analyst, saying things that sound smart to the average chump. I don't even find him entertaining nowadays. Zach Lowe carries his jock, and needs to start working on his exit plan.

    Looks more like Windhorst swallowed Jonah Hill.

    Zach Lowe's exit plan is to wait for Simmons to say something stupid live on ABC and get canned.

    Lowe shall inherit the earth
