What a waste of time. Who cares about lame twitter responses from people I don't know. How about some real analysis?

The twitter stuff is pointless. 



I would be more interested if the posted each players range (high score and low score)

I thought I read somewhere that the ranking comes from around 100 individuals personal thoughts. I've tried to keep up with most of it.

I found Avery Bradley's rank (right around 110, I believe) to be rather interesting. I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that his twitter comments gave him props for his defense.

If AB is near 100 now, in only a partial season snapshot, then this man is due for some VERY GOOD things, I think. I just hope he doesn't rush back and jeopardize his health.

Great to see him (and the remaining C's) ranked where they were. For the most part, I think the rankings were good.

That's ESPN's thing. We should just stop reading it if we don't want to. No use complaining about it.

The reason why I read it is because I hoped it would be interesting. Instead, I'm treated to random twitter responses. Waste of about a minute of my life.

Bound to a little whacked given you are comparing players in such different situations playing different positions; but they have been pretty OK. Why Bargnani is ranked above David Lee (#59)is kind of a head scratcher; but in most cases you can kind of make see some logic in it.

Not bad for CB Draft's possible worse team. I didn't figure we would have many players in the top 250 never mind actually having some in the top 100. Besides, I think almost all of those players will have numbers much much higher in future years.
