top 500 is back

[Puffer]

Carter improved 19 spots over last year, to 121 at age 37. That's pretty impressive.

Anyone have a bigger jump than Steven Adams so far? Rank 406 to 130.

Don't think so.

Biggest fall is definitely Andrew Bynum, 100 to 460. Yeesh.

I'd be curious to see what the total ranking scores are for each team if you summed up the individual player rankings.

I think True Hoop did that last year. I agree, I want to see it too!

Crazy he played 81 games EACH for the last two seasons. Plus playoffs!

Carter is having a very nice, Grant Hill-like end to his career. Very unusual for such athletic guys to adapt so well.

Mason Plumlee comes in at #112. A shout out to all you MP haters!

Miles Plumlee is still better

That is a New York factor if I ever saw one.

I like Plumlee but if he is at 112, JV is top 50.

Agreed, that's a total BS rating.

I don't disagree but I would also point out that Coach K has Mason in his top 12.

Amir comes in at 106.

Kiiiiinda. I mean, if you don't include all the people that turned down team USA, and that they wanted to stock up on big men to play Spain.

He's decent. But I think that rating is high. Especially since Lopez is back this year.

The best players don't always make the best team.

I thought this rating is supposed to be about the best players.

Noel at #106 makes no sense to me. The #6 pick in one of the weakest drafts ever sits out the whole season and moves up 119 spots. The 18 months of injury rehab is a plus, but not playing meaningful basketball in 18 months prior to starting your NBA career isn't a good thing for making an immediate impact.
