Where Do the Sixers Rank on Top NBA Players Lists?

Earlier today we saw where Antonio Daniels (400), Craig Brackins (454) and Lavoy Allen (500) ranked on ESPN's ranking of all 500 NBA players. Since ESPN's rankings are only a day old we're a ways away from the always-controversial ranking of Andre Iguodala, along with other noteworthy Sixers. However; other notable sports powerhouses like Sports Illustrated and CBS Sports are either well into their rankings (top 100), or finished.
The SI and CBS lists were put together by well-respected guys like Zach Lowe (SI), Ben Goliver, Matt Moore and Royce Young. These are some of the best minds in the NBA blogosphere as far as I'm concerned, so the credibility of these rankings are high, in case you had any doubts. So, where do the Sixers players rank? Make the jump.
95. Louis Williams
82. Thaddeus Young
74. Jrue Holiday
50. Elton Brand
30. Andre Iguodala
82. Jrue Holiday
62. Elton Brand
31. Andre Iguodala

Surprisingly I don't have any major beef with either list's rankings. Some Sixers fans have been saying on Twitter that Jrue should be higher, but I don't think he's there yet. At least we can all agree that Iguodala – who'll probably be a former Sixer after the lockout – deserves to be in or around the top 30.

Also these players are in no particular order

I like Martin and I think that he’s an efficient scorer more so than Granger or Ellis, but he doesn’t do much else. I think Iguodala is more of a complete player than him – rebounding, passing and defense.

I would probably put Tyreke Evans on the list since he his younger.

Evans hasn’t really proven anything to me yet. And I’m not even sure I would want Joe Johnson, at this point, given his insane contract and diminishing production.
I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, there will be no trade for Monta!
I’m looking at how he plays right now or the potential that he has. Contract wasn’t a criteria

I would definitely rather have Iguodala than Joe Johnson. I’m also not a big Bynum fan but that’s just because I don’t think he’ll ever be healthy.
I’d add Rondo and Eric Gordon. If age and contract aren’t included then I’d add Nash, Duncan and Ginobili.

How good of player in Tim Duncan right now? His numbers have declined and they look average.
by The Pied Piper on Aug 16, 2011 1:30 PM PDT up reply actions
His numbers are mainly down because his minutes are down. he’s still a very productive player when he’s on the court.

Why would you take joe johnson(’s ridiculous contract) over Iguodala?
"I admire his competitiveness. As much as I admire it, I thought that he was trying too hard."- Eddie Jordan
I wouldn’t even pick Johnson over Iguodala if their contracts were even.

Where does Lou rank on the NBA Boss list?
"Great, I got that "excited/scared" feeling. Like 98% excited, 2% scared. Or maybe it's more - It could be two - it could be 98% scared, 2% excited but that's what makes it so intense."
