The consensus Top 100 players in the NBA for 2025-26

As we do every year before the regular season, we have put together the consensus player rankings for 2025-26 using data from four websites: ESPN.com, The Ringer, SI.com and, of course, HoopsHype.

There isn’t a unanimous No. 1 this time. Three outlets chose Nikola Jokic; we have reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at the top.

Players HoopsHype ranked higher than anyone else besides SGA include Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, Cade Cunningham, Jalen Williams, Paolo Banchero, Jaylen Brown, Pascal Siakam, Trae Young and Alperen Sengun. On the other hand, we placed Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler lower than any of the media outlets in this exercise. In short, we’re betting on younger guys to continue to grow and veterans to lose a step.

For the record, SI.com and The Ringer decided to include injured stars in their Top 100 even though they may not play at all in 2025-26. HoopsHype and ESPN.com did not. So that’s why you’ll see Jayson Tatum at No. 53, Tyrese Haliburton at No. 55 and Damian Lillard at No. 69.

Without further ado, here’s the consensus Top 100 for this season:
