Sports Illustrated has released their NBA Top 100 players and Booker is ranked #50.

Many fans are upset Booker is ranked so low but according to the writer from SI.com it sounds like his ranking took a hit because of his lack of defense.

The Kentucky product still needs to prove he’s worthy of his Drake namecheck on “Sicko Mode,” largely because he plays with pick-up game intensity on the defensive end.
