Predicting NBA’s Top 100 Players for 2023-24 Season

If you’ve been on the B/R app this week, you’ve seen our Top 30 guards, wings and bigs predictions for the 2023-24 NBA season.

If you’re here with us now, you’ve officially made it to the grand finale.

We’re revealing our top 100 NBA player predictions for the new season after a vast voting process.

How did we do it? Scroll ahead for a quick look at our method.

Some text was previously published in our Top Guards, Wings and Bigs series leading up to 2023-24’s top 100 NBA players.

B/R asked its best basketball minds to answer a series of random Player A vs. Player B debates. The question for each debate: Which player will rank higher by the end of the 2023-24 season?

In total, we compiled 8,632 votes across nearly 20 participants, narrowing our final player pool down to a top 110.

From there, a panel of experts each ranked every player from 1 to 110. They used their own criteria, considering everything from individual production, impact on winning (during both the regular season and the playoffs) and also health/availability.

All rankings were compiled and averaged. And then, voila! The B/R NBA 100 was set, with a list of 10 difficult cuts as honorable mentions.

Only thing left to do was separate players by today’s common positions: guards, wings and bigs.

How did we determine positions, you ask? Check it out below.

The slides that follow spotlight our top NBA players for the coming season. But first, here’s a look at which players fell just outside our top 100.

2022-23 Stats — 14.7 PPG, 5.7 RPG, 2.5 APG, 50.1 FG%, 38.9 3PT% (74 games played)

Last Year’s Top 100 Ranking: 68 (Down 32 Spots)

If Tobias Harris hadn’t signed a five-year, $180 million contract in 2019, perception of him would likely be far different. He averaged a perfectly adequate 18.7 points on 48.7 percent shooting, 6.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.5 three-pointers per game over the first three years of that deal, although that production was by no means commensurate with his salary.

Harris’ output plummeted last season as Joel Embiid, James Harden and Tyrese Maxey dominated touches on the Philadelphia 76ers, but the ongoing Harden standoff could allow him to take on a bigger role this coming year.

Perhaps we’ll finally get to see the “assassin scorer” version of Harris emerge?
