Player Power Rankings

[Dwizzle3]

JB (9th SF), DJO (21st SG), and JC (21st SF) are all ranked in the top 25 players in the nation at their position on Rivals.com.

Choose the drop down box to select the position. If DB keeps shooting how he has he might creap in here as well.

Really think this group has started to turn the corner and as long as we get a few more quality wins and win a game or two in the conference tourney could be a handful at the Big Dance.

Kind of dumb to rank Butler and Crowder as small forwards when they play different positions, and both play at the same time.

Lazar was always ranked as a PF so I'm not sure why Crowder isn't.  Jimmy's actually down from #4 to start the season    Wouldn't be surprised to see DJO climb the rankings as the season progresses.

Seven BE coaches in their current top 25; probably should be even more.

Guess the two Domers need to be taken down a peg or three.

Meh.... never liked individual power rankings.  It's virtually impossible to gauge the talent of individuals in a team sport with accuracy and consistency.  I'll file this one in "notable-achievements-rankings-and-statistics-that-mean-diddly-squat."

It's even difficult to gauge the talent-level of rookies and sophomores in the NBA.  Just ask the Seattle SuperSonics c.1996.  Better yet, ask every team that didn't even sniff Wes Matthews the previous two off-seasons.



[Note: Please don't misinterpret the above... I love Jimmy Mac (as much as you can love - in strictly a platonic fashion - a complete stranger who you've never met except for that Bucks game a few years back where you sat right behind him the entire game and didn't even have the nerve to bother him and the missus buy buying him a cold beer).  Loved his play.  Loved his haircut then, still love his haircut today.  Above all, I couldn't be happier for Jimmy Mac that he was a prime beneficiary of the SuperSonics' inability to gauge talent.  End nonsensical man-crush.]
