Sports Illustrated finished unveiling their 2017 top 100 NBA players list yesterday and Anthony Davis winded up placing eighth overall. LeBron James topped the entire league for a fourth consecutive year, and he was followed respectively by Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard and James Harden .
According to Rob Mahoney, a combination of personal injuries and other New Orleans Pelicans issues have prevented Davis from rating higher, but given his age, it is likely his best is yet to come.
