Colin Cowherd Drops His Rankings of the Top 15 Players in the NBA

Colin Cowherd: “I think Zion Williamson is one of the top 15 players in the NBA, and I said before he got into the NBA that he would be a top 20 player by the end of his first year… The most impressive thing about Zion Williamson is he’s only 20… He’s missed one game all year – that’s what we worried about – and that was due to COVID protocol. You can look all around the league at these stars missing games but he’s missed ONE. He simply ‘looks different’. If you turn a television on and Zion is playing he jumps through the TV screen. He is just bigger, more dynamic, faster, stronger, and he LOOKS DIFFERENT… Nobody cares about strikeouts anymore in the MLB, and the culture of basketball now is to go get offensively gifted players. Kyrie can’t defend, James Harden can’t defend, and Durant can’t defend like he used to, and that’s the best team in the East. The sport has decided that offense is about 80% of it, offense gets fans in, and it’s an offensive league. Zion is atrociously defensively right now – most young players are – but I think what he’s doing is great with the ball in his hands. He’s fun to watch and he’s a top 15 NBA player. I don’t think he has a mid-range game, I don’t think he’s very refined, I think he’s kind of rough around the edges, but I think he’s unbelievable to watch.” (Full Audio Above)

Listen to Colin Cowherd drop his top 15 rankings of the best players in the NBA and explain why he has Zion Williamson in his countdown over players the likes of Paul George, Devin Booker, and Trae Young.

Check out the video above as Colin details why he thinks the league is now embracing offense more than ever and realizing that games are primarily won with elite scoring more than competent defense.
