It's interesting there are around 80 players not on a team ranked higher than players on teams

I am shocked Sefolosha and Collison and to a certain extent Perkins made it to the Top 120.

I had them in parenthesis at the end of my previous post.

#120 Kendrick Perkins (down from #95 last year)

Here's the rankings of 101-500 of just the Thunder players:

So apparently, Nick Collison is the 5th best player on the OKC Thunder!?!

#100 Nick Collison (up from #115 last year)

Thunder players left to be listed in the Top 100 rankings with last years rankings in parenthesis: Harden (58), Ibaka (56), Westbrook (15), Durant (6).

You could make the argument that four guys are the Thunder's 5th best player. It's pretty obvious who the top 4 are, but I think you could make an argument for Collison, Thabo, Maynor and Perk as the team 5th best player. Each of them serves a specific role and excels in that role, but they're all pretty similar talent wise IMO. Obviously ESPN thinks it's Collison. I tend to learn toward Maynor when he's healthy, but with those four guys it's really splitting hairs.

They continued with rankings 51-60 on ESPN.com today and no Thunder players were mentioned in that group. That confirms that Harden and Ibaka moved into the Top 50 in the current rankings.
