The Ringer’s Top 100 Players: Coop at #47, don’t look up Kon lol

Did anyone else trade their Mavs love for OKC hate after the Luka trade?
could care less what the media thinks of Kon over Coop – everyone is hell-bent on some cinderella story with the hornets – so i’ve conceded that — ***BUT***
Anything Ringer is going to have an anti mavs bias and a pro Kon one due to Bill Simmons. Love listening to him though lol
Ridiculous gap considering Flagg is the better all-around player
How can you in good faith put AD in the top 75 of any list about current performance. He wasn’t really even that good this year when he did play, he put up numbers sure but he wasn’t a good player
If they want to argue that Kon is having the more successful rookie season based on expectations, then whatever, sure.
But you have to be out of your mind if you think Kon is actually a better basketball player than Cooper. It’s not even close. Cooper is a franchise guy and a future top 5 player in the league. Kon is an elite role player who will never be the #1 guy on a contender.
This is like comparing prime Lebron to prime Klay Thompson.
yawn
next year coop will clearly be top 25, and the following year he will be making a case for top 10
I think I’m more pissy about ADs spot and not having another Mav on here like Naji
Y’all ain’t watching castle. Dude is going to be a monster.
