So keen for the new season…
If you’re an NBA fan, odds are you’re familiar with the annual Bleacher Report’s ranking of the top 100 players, which gives an extremely informed prediction as to the players set to take the upcoming season by storm. Naturally, lists like these tend to be contentious and always manage to ruffle some feathers, but its still super helpful to see NBA experts chuck their two cents in as to who they think will do well in the upcoming season.
Of course, King James topped the list, along with superstars like James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant making it into the top 10. Special shoutout to Aussies Ben Simmons (Philadelphia 76ers) and Joe Ingles (Utah Jazz) however, who respectively made 14th and 80th.
Taking into account everything from injuries, setbacks and age regression, the list is probably the most holistic snapshot/prediction possible of the 2020/2021 season. Thus, check out the top ten ranked players below and check out the top 100 here.
