Player ranking season rolls along in NBA circles and it is always interesting to monitor where various players land when compared to their peers. When Sports Illustrated unveiled its list, Kent Bazemore was the lone representative from the Atlanta Hawks and, over at ESPN, the Hawks weren’t featured with a single member of the top 100.
