On Thursday of this week, ESPN released an article detailing a panel’s prediction of who would be the top 50 players in the NBA bubble. The panel included Tim Bontemps, Kirk Goldsberry, Tim MacMahon, Kevin Pelton, Jorge Sedano and Andre Snellings.
The group of men each individually came up with their list of 50, basing the list on on-court impact in the eight initial games and the playoffs. The lists were collected and averaged out based on where each member of the media had each player on their list.
This article caught heat quick from Pelicans fans and other NBA followers around the league and for good reason.
