top 500 is back

[Scraptor]

Don't think we've seen Conley yet.

40 Kobe
39 Iguodala
38 Klay Thompson
37 Rondo
36 Dwade

Not trolling, but I would put Klay Thompson ahead of Derozan. I am very glad that Demar is a Raptor. I am just saying that Klay had a great run in the playoffs and FIBA this year and I would put him in the top 25.

Klay isn't a top25 player

If we get 2 of our guy in the top 30, do we throw a party among us at Real Sports Bar?

or somewhere cheaper?

Pre juice at home and meet up at Jurassic park for the season opener??

Dwade at 36... Never would've guessed that this mostly US-based voting group would rank Demar above all these guys. Lowry I expected because he got noticed in Houston, but not Demar. Very cool.

[S.R.]

Where was DeMar ranked last year?

His long-two game still gets knocked, but he did manage to be one of 24 players in last year's All-Star game, he made Team USA this summer (even if it was the C team), and he stepped up his production in the playoffs last spring. It would be a crime if he weren't top 35 after all that.

[Scraptor]

Demar was 112 in 2012 and 104 in 2013. This might be the biggest jump of anyone left. Anthony Davis was already at 33 last year.

Klay is a better fit in FIBA because the dude is a spot-up shooter. If you're talking all-around game, I'd say DeRozan is a better player. There's a pretty significant gap between them when it comes to setting up teammates as well.

What is odd about this to me is somehow DeKobe has passed Real-Kobe O___O

^should we be worried in 2 years when demars contract expires and Kobe retires.
How does a Compton kid turn down being the guy he grew up idolizing

Nearly 0 chance DeMar leaves Toronto unless we give him a reason to.

Also, I could easily see DeRozan be top 20.

Stars have been known to leave their hometown to go elsewhere.

I see no reason why one might leave elsewhere to go home.


Not speculating or thinking it is likely, just saying. Nothing is guaranteed.
