Top 100 NBA Players 80-61

80. Eddy Curry, Knicks
On talent alone he should be in the top 20. Add in his brain and he probably should be lower on this list.

79. Stephen Jackson, Warriors
See “Eddy Curry.”

78. Andre Miller, 76ers
One of the most underrated players in the league.

77. Brad Miller, Kings

76. Chris Kaman, Clippers

75. Boris Diaw, Suns

74. Kevin Durant, Sonics
The only rookie to make the list he could be in the top 25 by the end of the season.

73. Jamal Crawford, Knicks
The best thing about him: he’s never seen a shot he wouldn’t take. The worst thing about him: he’s never seen a shot he wouldn’t take.

72. Raymond Felton, Bobcats

71. Jameer Nelson, Magic

70. TJ Ford, Raptors

69. Andrei Kirilenko, Jazz
The equivalent of a “Five Tool” player in baseball.

68. Mo Williams, Bucks

67. Devin Harris, Mavs
Other than Kevin Durant, Harris is most likely to jump into the top 30 players in the league by seasons end. He’s Tony Parker in the making.

66. Chris Wilcox, Sonics
Finally putting it together consistently.

65. Richard Jefferson, Nets

64. Zydrunas Illguaskas, Cavs

63. Ben Wallace, Bulls
He’s never had any offense and now his reputation as a defender is starting to waver.

62. Kirk Hinrich, Bulls
I go back and forth between thinking this guy is underrated and thinking he’s overrated.

61. Ben Gordon, Bulls
John Starks without the intensity or defense.
