Rankings SZN continues during the NBA off-season on the newest episode of Pickaxe and Roll.
Ryan Blackburn and Matt Moore (The Action Network) break down the entire NBA, sharing some takes on Matt’s new NBA Top 100 Players list, from debates at the top of the list with Nikola Jokić and Giannis Antetokounmpo, to the All-Star categories featuring Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray and Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton. Matt drops fiery takes about Philadelphia 76ers MVP Joel Embiid and Utah Jazz star Lauri Markkanen as well. Is Matt right to be lower on Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr.? What about Ryan’s belief in Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young? They discuss and debate.
Ryan and Matt are decidedly different on young players like Haliburton and Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball, helping focus their discussion on overrated and underrated players around the NBA. Anthony Davis and Austin Reaves are overrated with the Los Angeles Lakers, while veterans like Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton are often underrated with the Milwaukee Bucks.
