"This is our prediction for how much Kobe will be able to contribute this year and how effective he'll be," said Royce Webb, director of content analytics for ESPN Digital and Print Media.

"This ranking puts him much higher than advanced stats suggest. For instance, if you look at real plus-minus, which includes both offense and defense, and factor in how many minutes he's likely to play, those stats project that he'll be about the 163rd-most valuable player this year. He's projected to add only about two wins this season to the Lakers' total. Our voters decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and move him up to 93rd."

Yep. They only have enough love for the golden boy, Bran.

FiveThirtyEight (ESPN funded) has Kobe at 236: http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/carmelo/#kobe-bryant

FiveThirtyEight is probably the best stats site going. The whole thing is really interesting.

Ranking guys who didnt even play based on their total production is kinda dumb anyway

very misleading title

espn's stats say kobe is the 163rd best player, people using their better judgement think he'll be better than that

i think kobe will be about a top 20, top 25 type player this year.

:biggums: Bruh...

[B]The Lakers are 14 points per 100 possessions better with Kobe off the court this season than they are with Kobe on the court. Among all players with at least 1,000 minutes this season, only Kobe's teammate Jordan Hill has had a more negative effect on his team's production than Bryant himself.

Kobe ranks among the worst players in the league this season in a number of categories:

He will be in the 30-60 range. He will be about the 20th best shooting guard in the league

espns rank is about total production and staying healthy


durant contributed 686 points


that averages out to 8.3ppg for an 82 game season


thats probably around top 150-160 or so

You're a goddamn idiot if you think Kobe is a top 100 player in the NBA.

Seems that ESPN has been ripping off your idea of overrating the hell out of Kobe for years.
