ESPN recently ranked the top 100 players in the NBA, and three members of the Dallas Mavericks made the cut. Luka Doncic led the way at number four overall. Kristaps Porzingis was the second highest rated Maverick at number 50 overall. Tim Hardaway Jr. was the final Maverick to make the cut at number 79 overall.
The rankings are fair for each player. An argument could be made to rank Luka higher. Durant’s ranking as number one continues to show that durability is undervalued. Durant has played a total of 35 regular season games over the last two seasons.
