Caris LeVert #60 in ESPN's top 100 NBA players this year
Gotta be the highest we've had a player in the League since the hayday of Webber

Nobody deserves a long, successful career like Caris. Great to see that he got his contract this summer.

I would think THJ might be on the list higher than #60 - or at least would have been in recent years.
I think Caris will end up higher on the list in future years - especially if he can stay healthy.

I don't know if THJ would have. He was basically filling it up for really bad teams, but not at a highly efficient rate. Whereas Caris contributes on both sides of the floor for a rising team. I imagine his efficiency numbers are going to get a huge bump this year now that Kyrie is around. Nets never had a real #1 option the past few years, but a bunch of solid #3 & 4 options. Caris gets to benefit playing off that #1 guy now. So you're right, he might jump up the list in the future.

Upon closer look - I also overestimated THJs scoring average, figured he would have had at least one season where he was averaging at least 20pts - but he hasn't done that at all. Figured he would have had at least one outlier season in there to get the deal he got from the Knicks, but just remembered the general reaction to the deal was fairly negative.

THJ was honestly pretty bad last year. He had the green light on the Knicks but his efficiency was pretty much at the bottom of the entire NBA.
Caris is a better player than him and frankly it's not close.

Oh.. Crawford had some borderline top-60'ish yrs when he was winning 6MOY awards

Crazy that LeVert will be the best NBA player that Coach B produced at Michigan. Speaks to both his development but also that the players were optimized for the college game and not necessarily the pros.

If Caris were healthy the final two years - well, if he was healthy his junior year, it would have probably only been one year - he would be hands down the best player JB ever produced according to 90% of Michigan fans. He was incredible at multiple things. Just had to play hurt and didn’t have quite the supporting cast that Trey and Nik did when they were the stars. Caris was so physically talented, intelligent and an insanely hard worker. If he can avoid injuries, he is going to have an awesome career.

Awesome
