D Rose #17 paha, in before the fanboys. Soem of these ratings seem way off though, Jeff Foster #80, tied with Terry, better than Eric Gordon? McGee #154 while: #142-145= Eddie Gill, Joe Crawford, James White, Courtney Sims? Michael Ruffin, Hassan Whiteside, Calvin Booth, Dontell Jefferson better than Battier, Ronnie Brewer, Calderon, Haslem, C-Bud, Redick? Wilson Chandler 198, Deandre Jordan 200, Landry Fields 201, artest 205, Monta 206 with Dalembert? Hell yea, Chris Mihm, Travis Diener, Maceo Baston, Cedric Simmons and Linton Johnson are way better. This list is hot garbage, look who's in the top 250 and then see how great roleplayers are way worse in the ranking.
Andrew Bynum came over all of these players: 20 Blake Griffin 21 Al Horford 22 Deron Williams 22 Yao Ming 24 Steve Nash 25 Amare Stoudemire 26 Russell Westbrook 27 Josh Smith 28 Kevin Martin 28 Tyson Chandler 30 Lamar Odom 31 Carlos Boozer 32 Carmelo Anthony 33 Chauncey Billups 34 Ray Allen 35 Joakim Noah 35 Danny Granger 37 Tony Parker 37 Paul Millsap 39 Greg Oden 40 David West
Interesting, the "box-score stats" (PER, etc.) are good for Martin and Scola, not so much for Chuck. The RAPM (multi-year adjusted +/-) is good for Chuck, not so good for Martin and Scola. Everything is good for Kyle Lowry!
People underrate Bynum. If he wasn't injured all the time, he would be considered a borderline franchise player. The guy has better numbers than Marc Gasol and is only 23 years old. He joined the NBA at 17. Bynum has been a major contributor two 2 championships and 3 finals at 23 years old.
This ranking is kind of silly. I LOVE Basketballreference, and the idea had promise without the plus-minus stats, but any stat that says Kevin Love is the 310th best player in the league and Amir Johnson is 12th only serves to pollute an attempt at genuine statistical analysis.
