Spurs players rankings
Original post:
If anyone is paying attention, the list has gone from 500 to 221 and the only Spurs listed so far are
458 Cory Joseph
309 Patty Mills
And Mills had this quote:
Other Spurs related players are:
424 Anderson
488 Byars
Some very decent players have come up in the 200-300 lists while Spurstalk favorite Matt Bonner and DeJuan Blair are still not mentioned, meaning they are considered top220.
It's worth mentioning this list is not a consensus. A lot of people grade players from 1-10 and the average gives them their spot. For instance, I would think no one would trade anyone in the 221-240 list for either Bonner or Blair.

From memory I remember the Spurs doing well on average in previous years although not having anyone besides the big 3 on the top 100 or something. I'm sure Bonner, Blair and maybe Tiago are just about to come up. But I think the rest of the roster is going to be relatively high on the list. Would you consider the new role players, Kawhi, Green, Jax, Diaw top50? top100? Top 150?

32 teams in the league. You really think kawhi would average out to be at least the 3rd best player on the team?
I bet he goes top 150
Mills top 100 imho tbh
These lists are so subjective
That also assumes that every one of those 30 teams has an average of 3 players better than Kawhi, not sure that is the case. For every Lakers or Heat, there is a Bobcats and Rockets. I don't think he cracks the 100 mark just because of him being a 4th option behind Tim, Tony, and Manu, but wouldn't be surprised if he just missed it.
30 teams in the NBA.
And #198
Matt Bonner.
Leonard should be top 150, but I definitely don't see how he's top 100 unless he barely gets in at like the 95-98 area. He needs to improve more first. Let's see what improvements he makes this next season.
Btw guys, mathmatically, if you took the best 3 players from the starting 5 of every team, that's 90 players. Then you have teams with 4-5 good starters and a bench guy who's good. So being just outside of the top 100 isn't really a slap in the face for a 20 year old who is getting better.
lol.At 171 with Gary Neal, San Antonio's lowest-ranked rotation guy would be the highest ranked player on the Charlotte Bobcats
Boris Diaw at #162.
Danny Green #160
DeJuan Blair #155
Stephen Jackson #151
Most of the team should be listed today and tomorrow. Only the big3 will be top50 and Kawhi 80-120.
Tiago Splitter #149
dejuan blair is rated waaaay too high
Surprised Splitter is rated higher than Jackson tbh.
I agree. But from reading other teams' boards, there are a lot of people who think he's a pretty aggressive, rugged rebounder especially for his size, and he has a bit of a soft touch around the basket. In some ways, it's true. A few minutes of Blair off the bench can sometimes be beneficial because he's a "hustle" type player. But his defensive liabilities are just too great for him to be valuable in the long-term with a larger humber of minutes, or in a starting role.
When Splitter was at his peak mid season he would have probably even deserved to go higher. I don't know why Pop struggles to maximize his value.
Based on what? A few games? Come on man be serious he is a backup PG![]()
Apparently Matt Bonner's better than Tristan Thompson so let's make the trade Pop!
Sorry I forgot to write in blue
I just concern about Timmy"s
