#CrystalBasketball: Ranking All NBA Players for 2018-19
How does every NBA player stack up heading into 2018-19, based solely on the level at which we expect them to play during the upcoming season?
That’s the question NBA Math staff members and a select group of site friends are seeking to address, 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 what could come to pass in 2018-19 is factored in, assuming health for those currently healthy and full recoveries from those presently injured. For example, DeMarcus Cousins will still be included in this analysis; we just assumed he’d already completed his rehab for the ruptured Achilles and now has that as a prior portion of his overall injury history.
All players 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)
We’ve already gone through team by team. Now, we’re unveiling the entirety of these rankings.
