Top 100 NBA players: Updated rankings for 2023
. G. Miami Heat. Tyler Herro. 70. player. 110
A dynamite scorer and capable playmaker, Tyler Herro plays with no shortage of swagger. He can bury defenses single-handedly with his pull-up shooting and twitchy self-creation, but the defensive limitations are unavoidable.
100. . C. Indiana Pacers. Myles Turner. 69. player
Myles Turner is on the shortlist of best rim protectors in basketball, a perennial threat to lead the NBA in blocks. He’s stuck on the (good but still rebuilding, sorta) Pacers and his future is thusly vague, but his talent of pinning shots against the backboard — combined with a very real 3-point shot — would make Turner valuable for any team.
player. 73. . F. Denver Nuggets. Michael Porter Jr.. 68
Michael Porter Jr. is one of the best shooters in the NBA at 6-foot-10. His shot-making, at that size, is value enough for a contending Nuggets team. If he can progress defensively and get better at elevating teammates, we’re talking about a multiple-time All-Star in the making.
Detroit Pistons. Bojan Bogdanovic. 67. player. 64. . F
Bojan Bogdanovic has reminded everyone of his talent for the lowly Pistons, at times dragging that offense single-handedly to relevance. He’s the perfect complementary talent: a high-volume bomber from 3-point range who plays with grit and confidence.
142. . C. Washington Wizards. Kristaps Porzingis. 66. player
Kristaps Porzingis has rehabilitated his image and refined his game, leaning into the inherent awesomeness of being 7-foot-3 and shooting deep-range 3s. He can anchor a defense in most matchups and he opens up the floor for Washington’s primary playmakers.
