#CrystalBasketball: Ranking All NBA Players After 2018-19
How does every NBA player stack up coming out of the 2018-19 season, based on everything we’ve learned after studying their performances during the last 82 games and any subsequent postseason appearances?
That’s the question NBA Math sought to answer, ranking each and every player in the sport’s premier league on a 1-to-12 scale and then seeing who emerged with the highest averages. The distant past was irrelevant. Long-term potential doesn’t matter. Only the level at which we expect them to play right after the conclusion of 2018-19 matters, assuming health for those currently healthy and full recoveries from those presently injured.
All players—classified by the team for which they last appeared, even if they were since waived or released in some alternative fashion—were graded on the following scale by each evaluator, and ties between players with identical averages were broken by sorting the scores from best to worst and propping up the men who had the highest mark at any point in the top-down progression:
- Shouldn’t Get Minutes
- End-of-Bench Pieces
- Depth Pieces
- High-End Backups
- Low-End Starters
- Solid Starters
- High-End Starters, Non-All-Stars
- All-Star Candidates
- All-NBA Candidates, Non-MVP Candidates
- Lesser MVP Candidates
- MVP Frontrunners
- Best Player in the League (only one player could earn this grade on each ballot)
Now, for the overall rankings:
