Who are the Top 50 Players in the NBA?

After an unexpected Playoffs and a crazy NBA Free Agency where multiple stars switched teams, who are the current Top 50 players in the NBA? As I will be focusing on the upcoming season, I will not rank rookies like Zion Williamson, Ja Morant and RJ Barrett as it is impossible to predict a ranking for them before seeing them play one game. I will also not rank Kevin Durant or John Wall as they are both expected to miss most if not all of next season both with a Ruptured Achilles, otherwise KD would be seriously considered for the Number 1 spot.  However I WILL be ranking Klay Thompson who also suffered a serious Torn ACL because Klay is...

Who is going to make the All Star Game? Will Wade, Rose and Doncic Start?

With the All Star Starters about to be announced, it's time to see which players are going to make it and will Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose and Luka Doncic hang on to their starting spots or get selected by the coaches on the bench? Firstly let's look at the latest round of fan voting  * Fan voting accounts for 50% of the total voting       Dwyane Wade is playing his final season and he is extremely popular with the fans, so it is not surprising that with the lack of guard depth in the East that he is in 2nd place amongst guards.  He has been playing quite well averaging 14 ppg off the bench and making several...
