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:

• 124th in field goal percentage (third-worst among qualified players)

• 103rd in 3-point percentage (fifth-worst)

• 74th in player efficiency rating

• 361st in win shares

Kobe's 0.1 win shares are the fewest of the 73 players to play at least 1,200 minutes this season[

[kennethgriffin]

the low fg% is what separated kobe last year

if he just rises it up to 41-42% hes basically damien lillard.. a top 15 player in the league


f*cking hilarious




i love analytics

kobe sucked last year


he played most of it rehabbing his leg and playing with a torn shoulder. and still hadnt fully overcome the achilles


we'l see if he sucks again. but i doubt it


its real easy to kick a guy when hes down

[Fallen Angel]

[kennethgriffin]

i also expect kobe to be much better than last year

[kennethgriffin]

if kobe shoots over 41% with around 20ppg and 4-5apg


hes doing a great job. period


otherwise all those other guys suck donkey d*ck

[buddha]

lol @ espn projections all they do is subtract two points for older players and add two points for younger players. true story.

[catch24]

Most of those guys bring a lot more to the table than JUST scoring.

Kobe will be better than projected, but your reasoning is irrational...

[Mr. Jabbar]

We're giving ESPN too much credit here. This ranking, like everything they've done, holds zero credibility.

[Fallen Angel]

Pretty hard to find a comparable player to Kobe.

He's inefficient.
He's a negative defender.
He's turnover prone.
He can easily turn into a black hole on offense.

Kobe Bryant could be comparable to Derrick Rose. Congratulations.

a) kobe can and will be just as efficient as any of those other guys mentioned

b) kobes defense isnt elite anymore. but its not like anyones dropping more than 8-10 ppg on him nightly

c) kobe averaged 3 turnovers for his 6apg last year .. big deal

d) kobe only hogs when he has sh*t teammates. i feel this year will be a different story

i mean.. seriously.. kobe isnt all that bad.

Oladipo is predicted to score 38ppg 16apg on 68% espn are crazy for not having him number one

[Tking714]

Marcus smart was ranked 85th? Tyreke Evans 87th?

Someone needs to convince me that these two players are better than ANY version of Kobe we're gonna see.
