I have a feeling we'll see Waiters tomorrow. Doubt he cracks the top 100.

I think Dion will crack the top 100 and we'll see him 99-95

We certainly had a burst of activity-- I was waiting to post Miller until someone else came along and it took a long time.

126 | Tristan Thompson | Cleveland Cavaliers PF | Age: 23 | 2013 rank: #99 | 5.22
128 | Ray Allen | Free agent SG | Age: 39 | 2013 rank: #95 | 5.17
129 | Spencer Hawes | Los Angeles Clippers PF | Age: 26 | 2013 rank: #179 | 5.15
136 | Shawn Marion | Cleveland Cavaliers SF | Age: 36 | 2013 rank: #135 | 5.10
137 | Carlos Boozer | Los Angeles Lakers PF | Age: 32 | 2013 rank: #61 | 5.04
138 | Shaun Livingston | Golden State Warriors PG | Age: 29 | 2013 rank: #273 | 5.02
178 | Mike Miller | Cleveland Cavaliers SF | Age: 34 | 2013 rank: #211 | 4.52

I threw Ray Allen on the list to keep it interesting. Interesting that Ray Ray and Tristan both fell about the exact same amount in the rankings.

I almost listed Knight on that list too, until I remembered that Brandon ain't Brevin

We also passed just about all of the center prospects that people like to talk about:

130 Steven Adams
133 Gorgui Dieng
140 Jared Sullinger
141 Javale McGee
144 Miles Plumlee
154 Enes Kanter
159 John Henson
161 Kosta Koufos
168 Andray Blatche
179 Timfey Mozgov

Boozer was really exposed on the bulls. I knew that would happen.

 

[Stark]

Ray Allen at #128 is an absolute joke.

 

[Nathan S]

McBob rises from 334 to 117. I wonder where he would rank if he were still in Charlotte

Here's the recent chunk of players--

Interesting that Valanciunas & Thompson and Waiters & Barnes are all still pretty close together even through all but Waiters dropped in ranking this year.

76 | Anderson Varejao | Cleveland Cavaliers C | Age: 32 | 2013 rank: #62 | 6.20
87 | Danny Green | San Antonio Spurs SG | Age: 27 | 2013 rank: #113 | 5.98
91 | Jonas Valanciunas | Toronto Raptors C | Age: 22 | 2012 rank: #84 | 5.94 | -7
101 | Dion Waiters | Cleveland Cavaliers SG | Age: 22 | 2013 rank: #110 | 5.64 | +9
114 | Andrew Wiggins | Minnesota Timberwolves SG | Age: 19 | 2013 rank: NA | 5.42
122 | Harrison Barnes | Golden State Warriors SF | Age: 22 | 2013 rank: #76 | 5.31 | -46
126 | Tristan Thompson | Cleveland Cavaliers PF | Age: 23 | 2013 rank: #99 | 5.22 | -27

58 | Luol Deng | Miami Heat SF | Age: 29 | 2013 rank: #46 | 6.67

I wonder if Pat Riley did something like this before signing him:
