ESPN Ranks the NBA's Top 100 Players: How Many Los Angeles Lakers Made it?
Every year, ESPN's hoops department ranks the top 100 players in the NBA. Every year, it causes a little bit of controversy, because people tend to get really worked up about rankings and lists. But while they're certainly arguable and definitely easy to overrate (does it really matter if someone is the 7th best player or the 9th, the 58th or the 62nd?) lists like these can be instructive. Particularly in trying to figure out roster depth around the league, and how different teams compare to each other. So how do the Lakers stack up? Well, they're the only team with two players in the top 10 - Anthony Davis (10) and LeBron James (9). Austin Reaves comes in at 66. And that's it. Many teams have more guys in the top 100 (Denver has four, the Knicks, surprisingly, have five). But when you start to peel back more layers, it's pretty clear the Lakers have a high end roster with a ton of depth. How many players who are average or above (don't poo poo average - half the league is below it) do the Lakers have in their rotation? Well, all of them. James, Davis, Hachimura, Russell, Reaves, Vincent, Wood, Prince, Vanderbilt and, if things progress, Max Christie as well. But they're at least nine deep with average or above or well above. If that's your roster, your roster is good. Speaking of Russell, after Wednesday's win in Anaheim, he talked about his defense and acknowledged that it's a big part of the reason he was taken off the floor in the postseason, especially against Denver. (His horrendous shooting didn't help, either.) He knows that has to get better if he wants not only to be a four-quarter contributor in the playoffs for the Lakers this year, but also to re-establish his value across the league. Finally, The Athletic's John Hollinger put out a column this week highlighting players on good teams who could play important roles, but are relatively unknown to most basketball fans. On that list? Christie. When we look back on that column in the spring, how likely is it that he'll be correct? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: NBA Rank - LeBron 9, AD 10 and Reaves 66. SEGMENT 2: How LA's depth stacks up. SEGMENT 3: Is Christie a legitimate breakout candidate? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

What have we learned from Boston Celtics bench, Payton Pritchard, Kristaps Porzings, so far?
The Celtics have played three preaseason games in rapid succession. So what have we learned so far? Is it fair to judge all of these bench players and fringe guys based on what we've seen? What about Payton Pritchard, who has been awesome so far this season? Is he going to be able to carry this into the regular season? And what have we seen from the regulars in limited minutes? John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm discuss it all. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Did the NBA GM Survey Disrespect the Lakers? Plus, Darvin Ham Wants AD Taking 3’s. Lots!
Ok, so the NBA's GM Survey was released Tuesday, and while this space isn't one for homerism... Anthony Davis is simply not getting the respect he deserves on the defensive end. Start scrolling through the categories, and you find that Davis is either further down the voting lists than he should be, or simply isn't included at all. And while it's understood that at different times over the course of his career he hasn't quite met the moment... did anyone watch the playoffs last season? Davis was the best defender throughout, until the Lakers were eliminated. In three series against three very different opponents, he was dominant on that side of the ball. Yet in this year's preseason GM polling, it garnered him surprisingly little love. Why, exactly? What's going on here? And while we're here, did LeBron's basketball IQ go down over the summer? Meanwhile, the Lakers took 55 3-pointers on Monday against the Nets in Vegas. That's a ton, obviously more than they'll be hoisting on a nightly basis in the real games, but if the Lakers shoot the ball as they have over the first two games of the exhibition season, how much perimeter shooting should we expect? What might the offense look like? And will Davis be among the long range bombers? Yes, if Darvin Ham gets a vote. He said at practice Tuesday he'd like to see Davis taking even five or six a game! Six! Needless to say, this is more volume, by a ton, than Davis has ever had, and we're talking about someone who was well under 20 percent behind the arc last season. Does he really want Davis shooting that much, or is there another dynamic at play? And what about Christian Wood? What exactly does Ham want to see from Wood on the defensive side to start proving people wrong? What's been missing? Finally, does Taurean Prince think he should start? Well, he won't say exactly. Except yeah, he's kind of saying. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Ham wants Davis to be shooting a lot of 3's. SEGMENT 2: Christian Wood's defense and Taurean Prince's thoughts on starting. SEGMENT 3: Why so much disrespect for Anthony Davis among NBA GMs? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
