TOP 20 PLAYERS RANKINGS AND POSITION BREAKDOWNS
1. Hakeem Olajuwon C 31.4/13.2/4.3/1.9/3.7
Still living the dream! Hakeem can fill up a stat sheet like no other, he may be getting older but he ain’t falling off!
2. Shaquille O'Neal C 29.0/13.2/2.5/1.4/3.5
Probably the most coveted player in the game, they don’t come bigger nor better than the SHAQ! He’s big, powerful, athletic and most important a young developing player capable of so much more!! Very scary!
3. Scottie Pippen SF 31.6/8.5/5.8/2.5
Mr Pippen has stood without superstar partner MJ now for two years and who would have thought he’d be this good? He score, defend, rebound, dish and a game changer!
4. Karl Malone PF 30.7/11.1/3.3/1.7/1.6
Like Hakeem, Karl maybe getting older be he isn’t letting up and the only reason Utah will battle for playoff contention every year!
5. Michael Jordan SG 29.5/7.4/6.4/2.5
Like Pippen, MJ can do it all including carry a Spurs team on his back!
6. Jason Kidd PG Pistons 20.5/8.2/11.5/1.7
Only a sophomore, Mr Kidd is a walking triple double, and great defender! He along with Grant Hill form an excellent one two punch helping a young Pistons team battle for a playoff spot. Just where is Jason’s ceiling we can’t wait and see!
7. Gary Payton PG Supersonics 24.3/5.6/9.9/1.4
Like Jason above, Gary is an excellent defender and even better scoring PG who leads an excellent Sonics team. What more can you ask for in a PG?
8. Chris Webber PF 28.0/12.9/2.6/1.1/1.2
Like Shaq, CWebb looks lie the next great player but unlike Shaq he can shoot out to the perimeter! We look forward to seeing just how good he will get!
9. Dominique Wilkins SG 33.8/6.7/3.3/1.0
Another one of our older players showing that age doesn’t have to slow you down, just dominate!
10. Drazen Petrovic SG 30.8/4.4/3.4/1.7
Drazen is a beast who proves he can score on anyone and lead his team every year in scoring…we love watching this guy play!
11. Derrick Coleman PF 24.0/12.4/3.5/1.3/3.5
While doesn’t seem to be clutch in the playoffs, Derrick is a wonderful player who does a little of everything for his team! But the things he does best is score and rebound and that exactly what you want from your center, Derrick we salute you!
12. Charles Barkley PF 25.8/11.8/5.3/1.3/0.9
Getting long in the tooth but still the “round mound of rebounds”, who else gets more out of there size than Sir Charles!
13. Cliff Robinson PF 25.6/11.0/2.8/1.4/3.0
Every year we see Cliff fill up the stat sheet…well done!
14. Dale Davis PF 24.1/13.7/2.1/1.1/3.3
Another one of our rising stars, after last years dominate playoffs performance we wondered could he get better…well we think he answered that quite easily! Thank you!
15. Shawn Kemp PF 25.5/12.8/3.3/1.0/1.8
The other center piece of that great Sonics team, Shawn is a beast in the middle and ferocious with the ball in his hands…we love watching the Rainman work!
16. Rasheed Wallace SF 26.6/9.3/3.1/1.6/1.5
The biggest surprise of the year among the young guys, where did he come from and how many teams are kicking themselves for not picking him in the 1993 draft! Very big future ahead of him!
17. Dee Brown PG Clippers 20.0/4.3/10.4/1.7
The classic example of a PG that does everything well!
18. Larry Johnson SF 25.3/10.6/4.5/1.3
Injuries have plagued him but he still puts up the numbers!
19. Charles Oakley PF 25.5/10.8/2.0/1.2/0.3
He may be getting older but he’s a steady as they come!
20. Alonzo Mourning PF 21.0/11.8/1.6/0.9/3.7
Like LJ, injuries have gotten in the way but his presence in the middle can not be mistaken he is a animal inside defending, rebounding and blocking shots!
