SBNation Predicts Top 100 NBA Players in 2017

I wouldn't take any of this too seriously, but something fun to think about in the dog days of the offseason. They took turns picking a player and then commented on the pick
LINK
Pelicans Players:
67. Ryno
48. Evans
47. Gordon
23. Holiday
7. Davis
The commenters think Davis is too low at 7.
Some other guys of note:
85. Brandon Jennings
65. Ben McLemore
42. ROY Damian Lillard
25. Nerlens Noel
3. Andre Drummond
For Noel and Drummond, they pretty much ridicule the guy who made the pick.

just to clarify, they are saying that after 3 years in the league, Wiggins, who hasn't played a minute in college, will be the 8th best player in the league at about 21 years old

5 in the top 67? I'll take this list coming true, although I think that EG's rankings are still hampered by his injury history. Healthy EG = top 20-25ish in the Holiday range. EG we've seen = outside the list.

BTW, there is a ton of fail in the list. I don't agree with a lot of what they say.
JUST going off rankings/comments on current/former players.
1) EG10 not being on the court at the end of games because he's a defensive liability, even if healthy, is laughable.
2) CP3 being a top 15 in the NBA player in 4 years is also ridiculous. He's tough, and he will be good, but that window is closing and closing fast with his age and injury history.
3) NARNC. Bank that.
Non-Hornets related:
Blake Griffin at 10...lololololol
There's so much more, but they still gave us love so I'm not gonna dissect it too hard.

Drummond at #3 is just stupid.

silly list

Andre Drummond is overrated, has anyone seen his free throw percentage? I thought it was a typo, but no he is just that bad. He can only shoot below the rim just because of his sheer size. Anthony davis is developing a mid range jumper, can make put backs, has some guard skills, can put down alley oops like crazy, great pick and roll game and is a premier defensive shot blocker. All, Drummond can do is shot below the rim and collect rebounds there. He is good but Davis has a more developed game and has just about the highest ceiling of any nba player. Also, once anthony davis bulks up, which there should be no rush to do considering kevin Garnett was davis' size while he was in his prime (so it can be done with the weight he currently has), davis will be by far better than Drummond. I put Davis at 2. Kevin Durant at 1. Lebron at 4 or 5,
