It’s a silly list if they have Scoot ranked but not DA. Obviously they’re considering “potential”, which is super subjective, over what they’ve accomplished in recent history, which is more objective. I don’t even think Ant is necessarily better than DA

I don’t think it’s that unreasonable tbh. Having said that, credit to him for turning his season around

He’s a top 10 center

I’d think the list between, say, 70-200 is basically a roll of the dice. Average to slightly above average, mostly interchangeable players. He would fit anywhere in that range on any given day.

Borderline top 10 center (historically on the better end like 8th) whose doing same thing he’s always done.
Like is he comfertably above average for a starting center? If so, ya he’s top 100, and 50-60 where they use to place him is still true. But after about 70 on the list it becomes middle of bell curve and they gives spaces to winning and big market teams.

He had a really bad season. He’s 135th in VORP, 112th in BPM. He’s 87 in WS/48. The fact that he’s off the list is clear recency bias. Fuckin Hartenstein is *not* a better player than Ayton. Having Vucevic over Ayton is ass too. Either one of them would need picks attached to be traded for Ayton.
I dont agree with all the rankings or anything but he should at least be 70.

He probably should be on the list, but the dude has some of the worst PR in the league. It’s just too engrained in the NBA consciousness that he went over Luka at 1 and he makes some boneheaded plays that get memed plus he makes too much money.

Well, if you look at fantasy bball (not real life) he’s currently 104, mostly to do with lots of missing games. Which is fair. My dude needs snow tires.
Usually he’ll sit somewhere between 70-80

Realistically with the talent pool in the league, being a starting center should make you top 100, and Ayton is probably just outside the top 10 centers right now.

Anyone saying Ayton is a top 10 center or even close to that is delusional. He’s not even the best player on the team. Doup Reath has been a more interesting player to watch and is probably a more valuable player than Ayton based on contracts

He’s not better than Brodgdon who is 96th, so there you go. He’s probably like 103 or something though.
