EC Rankings Put Big Three at top, But Front Court Way Back

[NJNetz]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>It's the dog days of the off-season. Ira Winderman, the nationally syndicated basketball writer for the Sun-Sentinel in South Florida, has decided to draw up position-by-position rankings for the Eastern Conference. As can be expected, the Big Three are ranked highly: Jason Kidd at #2, Vince Carter at #3 and Richard Jefferson at #6. Upfront, things drop off: Nenad Krstic is ranked #10 and Jamaal Magloire, assuming he starts at center, can found all the way down at #14.</div></p>

Joe Johnson ahead of Vince?</p>

Arenas the better point guard then Kidd?</p>

Damn, Magloire is also way too low on this list. </p>

WTF is Kidd doing at 2?</p>

</p>

 

[Real]

Jamaal Magloire certainly has a lot to prove this year.</p>

 

[GMJ]

Arenas is a better SG than Kidd, but I don't know about PG.</p>

I wouldn't rank Igoudala ahead of Jefferson either.</p>

This list is full of bullshit and I really hope we prove these so called experts wrong this year.

I really don't care about these kinds of lists anymore. It's all about winning games and getting as far in the playoffs as possible. Kidd could be the 15th person on that list, but by the end of the day, he'll prove to be #1, just by playing.</p>

Remember, Kidd was the worst player on the America's Cup team. He only scored two points a game! Maybe he's taking that into account.

Lol, remember that time Kidd was ranked 7th by a writer? The JBB Nets forum went crazy.</p>

[Chutney]

Anthony Parker is so badly underrated.

Too bad basketball is a team sport and not about individuals. Otherwise this might mean something.

Ummm...1) Kidd was only shooting one or two shots a game. 2) Kidd played less than 20 minutes per games. 3) Look at his assists and other stats.

It is difficult to say what the writer was taking into account. Point guards should not always be rated on how well they can score. It is more valuable if they have low turnovers, high assists, high steals, and most importantly team wins.

I'm with you, but good luck telling that to the national media (Hi Skip Bayless, Hi NBC, Hi ABC's nationally televised schedule) </p>

sorry ma3...dumpy was just joking around. it's sort of an ongoing joke. </p>

but it's okay, you'll find the Nets fans that came from BBB all like to joke around, i'm sure you'll get used to it haha.</p>

</p>

and about these rankings...they're all BS, just one guy's opinion. i could care less if he's an espn writer, a random blogger, or an nba player, it's just one man's opinion, and that doesn't make it a fact that kidd's the 2nd best point guard in the conference.</p>

besides, as other people have said, the player rankings don't really matter...it's more about the team rankings. and we'll find that out when the season starts, which can't be soon enough.</p>
