NBA Player Rankings and Tiers

Here are my Top 50 NBA players as of 1/30/2009. I have their name-team-position-age-stats(ppg&rpg for Centers and Forwards, ppg&apg for Guards) and some players have all 3 stats or another tidbit. If they have been injured for an extended period this year ihave it marked-(INJ-number of games missed). The players ranking is dropped a bit if they have been injured usually around the number of game s they missed is about how far they would drop, for instance Carmelo Anthony is ranked 25th, he has missed 15 games so if he were healthy the whole year he probably would have been ranked around number 10. That is why Carlos Boozer is not in the Top 50. Neither is Michael Redd who missed games earlier and is now out fo the year with a torn ACL or Gilbert Arenas who has not played this year.

Here's the list:



1. Lebron James-CLV-SF-24-(27.8,7.5,7apg)

  This year’s free agent class is not as top heavy as year’s past but it is very deep. Only a few teams are under the salary cap . The Houston Rockets, Utah Jazz and San Antonio Spurs are the only teams that can afford one max guy or multiple starters. Other teams with cap space more than the Mid-Level Exception include the Indiana Pacers, Detroit Pistons, Sacramento Kings, Oklahoma City Thunder and Orlando Magic. Most other teams will spend their time, efforts and money on retaining their own free agents. FRIDAY MORNING JUNE 30th UPDATES:  James Harden  opted into the final year of his  $35,640,000 contract. The 76ers are looking to trade him.    Nikola Vučević signed a 3-year $60,000,000 extension.  Harrison Barnes signed a 3-year $54,000,000 extension.  Jordan Clarkson  opted into the final year of his  $14,260,000 contract.  Josh Hart  opted into the final year of his  $12,960,000 contract.  Here is my list by tiers: Tier 1:  Stars that are #1/2 options on playoff teams  All a
