Earlier this offseason, Sports Illustrated (SI) came out with their top 100 NBA player rankings. All five of the Philadelphia 76ers starters made those rankings, but that wasn’t the last time all five be in a top-100 rankings. ESPN recently released their top 100 NBA player rankings and like with the SI rankings, all five starters made the cut for the ESPN rankings. Christopher Kline of The Sixer Sense wrote about SI’s rankings in the past as well.
After having a career season with the Miami Heat last year, it’s surprising to see that Richardson has a lower ranking than his previous one the season before.
