 This means No players from Euro Leagues or College (Incoming Rookies).

This is my personal ranking how useful I believe a certain player is to a team in basketball.  Has nothing to do with building a franchise, but more like winning a pickup game for my life right now and building a team scratch. (Im leaving leniency for injured players)  Age, Potential, nor contract goes into factoring and you will probably be able to notice trends in what kinds of players I like….obviously the list will be biased towards my opinion; however I assure it should be pretty thurough.

 

He was just kidding; we are really not that useful

300. Andray Blatche PF (WAS)

299. Rashard Lewis SF (WAS)

298. Jermaine O’neal C (BOS)

297. Greg Oden C (FA)

We will make you look like a genius sometimes; and likely get you fired along the way

296. Keyon Dooling PG (BOS)

295. Toney Douglas PG (NYK)

294. Manny Harris SG (CLE)

293. Will Bynum PG (DET)

We will give you everything we got

292. Shelden Williams PF (BRK)

291. Ben Wallace C (DET)

290. Derek Fisher PG (OKC)

 

How High on a Most Valuable Contracts List is Rashard Lewis?

[J-rueMykelParticipant]

 

289. Mehmet Okur PF (BRK)…..Shockingly, This guy was an All Star at one time.

288. Jason Maxiell PF (DET)….Shockingly, has actually had a decent career.

287. Shelvin Mack PG (WAS)….Tough to get minutes playing PG in DC.

286. Wesley Johnson SF (MIN)….Is he really a better player or better prospect than Shelvin Mack at this point?

285. Mickael Pietrus SF (BOS)…According to my Celtic fan friends, he’s the missing link.

284. DJ White PF (CHA)….Coming off what is likely the best year of his career.

283. Josh Howard SF (UTA)….Coming off what is likely the worst year of his career.

282. Andris Biedrins C (GS)…..This guy mattered on the Warriors team who beat the MVP Dirk Mavs.

281. Vladmir Radmonivic PF (ATL)…..Still a severicable serb.

 

[Seamo15Participant]

 I’ll wait till you’re finished to make points but looks good so far

[J-rueMykelParticipant]

 280. John Salmons SG SAC….Not long ago he was a serious ball player.

277. Craig Smith PF POR….Big Baby Light?

274. Josh Harrelson PF NYK….Has done a great job finding his niche in the NBA

273. Chuck Hayes C SAC….Best attribute? Calming Veteran Prescence

272. Josh Childress SF PHX….It’s disturbing how much money this guy has made playing basketball.

271. Carlos Delfino SF MIL….First Spaniard!!!!

[Seamo15Participant]

Ok cool. I think Pietrus was a bit better than 285, he was vital on the offensive boards in the playoffs . That’s the only critique so far, agree for the most part. Keep it up

[J-rueMykelParticipant]

270. Markief Morris PF (PHX)….Always thought he was the more useful Morris brother

267. Tyrus Thomas PF (CHA)….It’s not going to work for him in Charlotte, really hope he lands in a better spot.

266. Kirk Hinrich PG (CHI)….Remember when people said CHI shouldn’t take Rose because they had Hinrich?

265. Kenyon Martin PF (LAC)…Lob City needs to formulate a plan this offseason, he could really benefit.

264. Dominic McGuire SF (GS)….What do you mean GS needs a SF?

258. Jannero Pargo PG (ATL)…No matter where he goes, always seems to hold his own.

256. Joel Anthony C (MIA)….I think we learned what position Mia most seriously needs and upgarde at, its not PG.

209. Brandin Knight PG (DET)….Where do you think Brandin Knight would have went in this draft class?

[dfk512Participant]

for the rest of the list! You bonging it, piping it, Jointing it or eating it??

[DeShawns PotentialParticipant]

 ^obviously never smoked

[orangeshadow83Participant]

Very nice list and i really enjoy the comments, good mix of serious and sarcastic. Obviously I would have some minor changes but so far it seems really well thought out and accurate.

[CynthiaParticipant]

I have two issues:

1. Carlos Delfino is from Argentina not Spain.
2. Shane Battier a "good guy"? He’s one of the dirtiest players in the entire league, however that’s also one of the reasons he’s such a good defender. I respect Battier a lot, but he’s nowhere near a good guy.

Other than that the list is pretty good, as someone else mentioned I think you have Pietrus a little far down the list, but not a big issue.

[J-rueMykelParticipant]

 Hey maybe a Dookie, but he’s genuine.  He plays hard, never had a me first atitude, and he was probably one of the greatest college basketball playerss.

Sorry about the Delfino slip, thanks for keeping me on it!

[SpacegrassParticipant]

You can’t make a list this long without having some small missed details or some disagreement on the rankings.  Hell I couldn’t do it so props I guess for putting in the time.

Since you are blazing here ya go……

[thebomberParticipant]

 DElfino is not Spaniard is from Argentina 

[J-rueMykelParticipant]

 Finished the season with something like a 9.15 PER.  That’s the best indicator of a player usefulness we have available as far as stats go(Can be misleading sometimes).  I can’t really give him credit for getting 5 rebounds on 1 possesion of the playoffs if he didnt perform well all season.

[J-rueMykelParticipant]

 Blunts, Bongs, and Bowls (In that order)

[Wahoo757Participant]

 I like your list thus far but I don’t see how Beno udrih and Sebastian Telfair are rankes higher than Brandon Knight. Still a fun, entertaining list though!

[J-rueMykelParticipant]

 I’m a firm believer in his potential.  Several years ago I watched a hs game that pitted him vs. Austin Rivers. and they equally carried their teams and played like men among boys.  However he was less than impressive this year.  Had moments of brilliance, but he saw a lot of action this year and spent the most part of it looking rather clueless….
