One thing for New Orleans Pelicans fans to remember over the coming days is that landing in the top 100 players in the NBA in any rankings is going to be a tough task. With at least 360 players on NBA rosters to start the season, and likely closer to 380 thanks to the size of rosters, being a top 100 player means being really, really good.
That was why it was such a big deal when three members of the Pelicans, Tyreke Evans, Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson, landed in the top 100 of the Sports Illustrated rankings.
