As I’ve done the past few seasons I’ve compiled all the Top 100 player lists into one. This year there were a lot more lists to add which, IMO, only helps with the rankings.

For the 4th year in a row we have a new #1 and for the 4th year in a row we have a (almost - thanks, ESPN…) consensus: Nikola Jokic

Some highlights:

- Warriors with 6 players in the Top 100 (Celtics just missed). Celtics, Bucks, and …Blazers(!) each with 5 players ranked. Hornets with 1

- Bucks and Suns tied for the best duo ranking, Suns win the best trio ranking, and the Celtics have the best 4 and 5 player rankings average

- Highest ranked player that was not ranked on one of the lists: Deandre Ayton (#64)

- Lowest ranked player that was ranked on all the lists: Tobias Harris (#78)

- Highest risers since last year: Lauri Markkanen (+66), Paolo Banchero (+55/Rookie), Austin Reaves (+40)

- Biggest droppers since last year: Chris Paul (-50), John Collins (-35), Rudy Gobert (-34)

- LeMelo Ball stands out for being ranked all over the place (high of #27, low of #84) while on the opposite end of the spectrum everyone agrees that Zach Zavine is a Top ~40 player (high of #32, low of #44). I always find the range differences interesting

Note that Rookies are usually not included in most of these lists but sometimes they are and the group this year is obviously better than usual. So I’ve added them at the bottom, but not included them in the overall rankings, with Wemby landing around #57 if he was included

Hope you enjoy!

    Sabonnis and Siakam haven’t had horrible playoffs drops in their last 2 playoffs. Randle goes from all nba player in the regular season to liability in the playoffs. Literally like a completely different player.

      I get it, he really shouldn’t have even played last postseason tbh, he was playing on one ankle and it really affected him. The first postseason was another clusterfuck because there was literally no one else on the team to take pressure off him but yeah last year his ankle really fucked him up
