Hayward plays for the Hornets.

Level ∞

Dec 17, 2020

Fixed.

Level 85

Dec 17, 2020

Not a single Smith, Jones or Johnson. I was doomed.

Level 80

Dec 18, 2020

Haha, this is also what I keep trying, failing to know the NBA. At least I was successful with Robinson, Morris and Turner :-)

Great quiz, but Christian Wood is with the Rockets now...

Level 91

Dec 18, 2020

Also Josh Richardson moved to Mavericks.

Level 92

Dec 18, 2020

Love the ESPN Zion Williamson hype train. He's good, but he is at least 5-10 spots too high. Better than PG13 & Jamal Murray? Puh-lease.

Level 37

Dec 19, 2020

this list is total trash. damn ESPN. its like they just googled players and put whoever they thought was good at the top

Level 54

Dec 19, 2020

Lebron deserves the top

Level 74

Jan 9, 2021

There aren't that many mistakes honestly. The big ones are Doncic ahead of KD, Zach LaVine is too low, and DeRozan is too low.

Level 28

Jan 9, 2021

AD being 2 isn't a big mistake? He's maybe top 5 but definitely not even top 3

Level 78

Jan 11, 2021

How is Andre Drummond not a top 100 player, hes a top 50 or better player on this list

Level 72

Dec 23, 2020

lol, I only got 1/100.. Only heard about LeBron James..

Level 74

Jan 9, 2021

lol you don't know Curry, Harden or KD?

Level 58

Jan 5, 2021

I only got 20 :(

Also, I feel like people only get Seth Curry because of his brother. Even if Steph retires after some years, people are still going to try Curry on future quizzes out of desperation

Level 58

Jan 9, 2021

You should accept KCP for Kontavius Caldwell-Pope

Level ∞

Jan 9, 2021

KCP will work now.

Level 72

Jan 9, 2021

What a horrid list. As soon as I typed Andre Drummond and it wasn't accepted, I'm like...man...ESPN...what kind of list IS this?

Leads the league in rebounds 4 out of the last 6 years...not even in top 100. Gross. Stopped quiz immediately. 0 points.

Level ∞

Jan 9, 2021

Drummond has been one of the most overrated players in the NBA for some time now. Could he now be underrated? I don't know. The Pistons traded him for essentially nothing just to dump salary.

Sometimes, rebounds are an empty stat, since so many are uncontested. A better question: Does the player improve team rebounding when he's on the floor? I don't know the answer in Drummond's case.

Level 28

Jan 9, 2021

Yeah, rebounds are weird because if the team overall stays the same, they mean basically nothing

Level 62

Jan 9, 2021

Christian Wood is a Rocket, and has been since the beginning of this season.

Level 63

Jan 10, 2021

Surprised Jonas Valanciunas isn't on this list.

Level 43

Jan 10, 2021

same bruh

Level 43

Jan 10, 2021

this list is just insane. ESPN on some good stuff

Level 69

Jan 10, 2021

Agreed. No way Derozan is only the 82nd best player in the league

Level 28

Jan 13, 2021

Wow. No Knicks on the list. Come to think of it, though, who's their best player right now? Randle? Barret?

Level 52

Jan 14, 2021

Julius Randle has definitely been a top-50 player to start the season

Level 20

Mar 24, 2021

I knew ESPN lists were wack but this is crazy. AD at 2? Jamal Murray 21? MARCUS SMART 37? WTF is Draymond doing on this list? Bertans and Anunoby above guys like Bogdanovic and Conley (not a Jazz fan BTW), Derozan at 82? No Drummond? I could go on and on

Level 17

Jul 20, 2021

and no randle!!!!

Level 16

Mar 26, 2021

ESPN is trash, curry should be top 5, DeRozan should be MUCH HIGHER, Marcus smart shouldn't even be on the list tbh, oh and ZION AT 19 WTH

Level 16

May 14, 2021

UPDATE DEROZAN TOP 30

Level 20

May 27, 2021

Josh Richardson is on the Mavericks now and Davis Bertans should be replaced with Ruirui Hachimura
