The preseason player rankings are something I look forward to every year, and it is extra fun that multiple sites tend to put out their own rankings before the season starts. This year even more than years past is exciting for Dallas Mavericks fans because the team boasts two top-tier players going into the season for the first time in a long time.
Obviously everyone expects Luka Doncic to be the highest rated Maverick before this season starts, but Kristaps Porzingis deserves a spot on any top 100 list undoubtedly. With the Sports Illustrated rankings coming out over the past few days, we can see that they have Porzingis placed at the 37 spot, tentatively.
