Did I hear right?

Lonzo Ball in the top 100, per SI?  And Melo is not?

Also this AM - discussion of a top 5

KD, LBJ, AD, Curry and Harden

Can any player crack that 5?

That's incredible! Number 100!. I'm willing to kick in 5 bucks toward the parade you're throwing

I'm pretty sure that's what LaVar Ball kicked in to land Lonzo the 100 spot.

I'm willing to add another $5.00 to the parade fund when the generational talent Lonzo Ball passes Fred VanVleet.

I saw the list yesterday and thought, outside of maybe the top 15-20 guys, ranking current players becomes a mix of part art, part science politics and darts.

Nice to see my guys

Olynyk
Vucevic
Markaanen
Schroder
Sabonis
Randle

in the 51-100

Interesting that KP is at 52 while WIGGINS is not far behind at 74 (zzzzinnggggg, Chipster)

I like Maark & Sabonis, though I saw little of Indy last year.

Olynyk a rather unique player.  Needs the right situation.
Randle too, as a throwback bully PF.
I'm interested to see how he works with AD.
I like JRue so keep pulling for NOPe to right their ship.

Don't like Shroder or Vuc.

Good to see SI somewhat relevant ...

[kiidcarter8]

Randle does many things......

Now that he is not with Lonzo maybe you can stomach viewing his games 

[bodiddley]

My guys 51-100

67 Miles Turner -- though again I didn't see INDy much last year.

71 Josh Rich -- SI touts his defense and persistence, but he can score and pass.  I'd like to see him more involved in the MIA offense.

82 Rozier - the secret's out after last year's playoffs.

94 FVV - interesting to see if he can keep it up another year, but he was perhaps the best backup PG last year.

As for vets: Batum, Rubio and 95 DMC, the skinny one, who bounced back nicely from injuries.  Aging a bit though. 
And 87 Iggy.

I like Lonzo.
Lonzo would be my 5th young guy (on the SI 51-100)
I don't care if his shot is limited for now or his Dad is a megalomaniac. He's got elite passing skills, rebounds well, and played solid D.
Let others shoot, and let him improve his shooting as his career develops.  He brings a lot.

Randle looks terrific some nights and others he just seems to barrel into people and take ugly shots.  Boards well but iffy defense.
I have trouble deciding where his career will go or what his value is.
Can he put it together and become more consistent, or will he remain erratic?  Seems like a worker bee. 

Might be one of those guys that needs the right fit/system.
Which is why the NO change-of-scenery is very intriguing.
I'm not sold on Randle, but if I were NOPe I would have also let Cousin Boogie walk and taken a chance with Randle.

[kiidcarter8]

Re:  NO

Lots of PG there

Elfrid gets another shot

Darius Morris, Tony Carr, Ian Clark....

But the guy they really like - had a nice summer league - is FRANK JACKSON.

Randle, Miro, Davis TROIKA getting all the pub though.  They are really bullish on this team.

Etwuan, , Troy Williams, both Okafors......Aijinca, Diallo

Sleeper is high flying Garlon Green.  That's Gerald's bro.

I like Lonzo too. And I think SI has him ranked correctly give or take. I expect him to move way up this year.

[kiidcarter8]

Heh

Well, that's settled.

[bodiddley]

Does NO start AD-Randle-Mirotic?

Their bench looks pretty iffy which has been their Achilles for years.
While JRue and AD miss some games most years.

Sol Hill, OKa4's, Elfrid, Troy, Ian Clark (a mistake player).
Could work but I'm skeptical.

Might be another year of starters wearing themselves out and the bench giving up leads.
I like Gentry.  Maybe he can figure it out.
Randle might come off the bench ...

[bodiddley]

The funny thing is if Lonzo were another PG who could score and play poor defense, everyone would be fine with that (well, except Bo).
