ESPN.com

ESPN.com and the TrueHoop Network are ranking every NBA player -- and counting them down on Twitter (@NBAonESPN), from No. 500 to No. 1. As the rankings are announced, you can also find them here on the pages of ESPN.com.

We have already announced 401-500, 351-400, 301-350, 251-300, 201-250, 181-200, 161-180, 141-160 and 121-140 and will count down the rest one at a time on Twitter, for several weeks.

What is #NBArank?

#NBArank is the Twitter hashtag to use if you want to get involved in the discussion or just follow along.

You can also follow along here: @NBAonESPN

How did we rank the players?

We asked 91 experts to rate each player on a 0-to-10 scale, in terms of "the current quality of each player."

Here is the full list of voters from ESPN.com, the TrueHoop Network, TrueHoop TV, Daily Dime Live, ESPN TV, ESPN Radio, ESPN Deportes, espnW, ESPN The Magazine, ESPN Insider, ESPN Fantasy, ESPN Games, ESPN Dallas, ESPN Los Angeles, ESPN Chicago, ESPN New York, ESPN Stats & Information, ESPN Topics and ESPN Analytics.

To decide which players to rank, we started with every player who played in the league last season, and then eliminated players who had signed overseas contracts that made them ineligible for the 2011-12 NBA season. Then we added the 60 members of the 2011 draft class, eliminating those not likely to play in the NBA by 2012. That left 500 players, according to our best information as of Aug. 15.

Schedule

• Monday, Sept. 26: Players 111 to 120 announced
• Tuesday, Sept. 27: Players 101 to 110 announced

@DJAG88: I can think of a 101 reason why @DeMar_DeRozan will make a huge jump in #NBArank next year.

@itsNEALHERE: @DeMar_DeRozan did you dunk on the guys from NBA2k AND #NBArank or something? They rank you at "101" in the NBA. HATERS!

@talkhoops: There was a time in which many of us thought Jamison was the missing piece for a championship. What a difference a LeBron makes. #NBARank

@johnhollinger: Since nobody watched the Cavs, allow me to reiterate that Jamison completely, utterly mailed it on defense the entire season.

demeatloaf: @johnhollinger Jamison emailed it in last season. He didn't even bother using a stamp. #NBARank

@superior89indo: NBArank is trippin. Rodney Stuckey is not better than Ben Gordon and Michael Beasley.

@JustRod: Rodney Stuckey will flourish once he no longer has to play point guard.

@TheAkronHammer: Also the number of FGA per game he'll average in China.

@DRod1226: J.R. is a perfect example of an all or nothing guy. He can score 40 just as easily as he can go scoreless.

Ben Gordon

@sorokman: There used to be a time when Trevor Ariza was a factor in determining who'll win the NBA title. I wonder if he misses those days too. #NBArank

@johnhollinger: Trevor Ariza: No. 113 in #NBARank but No. 1 in #badshotselectionrank

5.31

@MrConsistentVG: Nick Collision is a clear example of how numbers don't always determine the impact you have on a team. #NBArank

@Jubanator14: Upon hearing he came in at 115 in the #NBArank, Nick Collision took three charges and set a great screen.

@DRod1226: Nick Collision is one of those guys you don't appreciate unless you actually watch just him in a game. #NBArank

@Boydicles: @NBAonESPN #NBArank Your ranking system is poor. Carl Landry is 116 ... wow.

@Ace_tradamus: Aaron Brooks at 118? Whatever happened to that guy that won Most Improved Player in 2010? He can do better than that.

@patrick_hayes: The heir to Goran Dragic as the heir to Steve Nash. RT @NBAonESPN #NBArank 118: Aaron Brooks


119



D.J. Augustin
Charlotte Bobcats | PG | Age: 23

2010-11 Stats
GM PPG RPG APG FG% FT%
82 14.4 2.7 6.1 .416 .906


5.23

@RealBobcatMatt: Augustin was re-born under Paul Silas. Deadly J and playmaking skills are getting better; Kemba in rear view though. #NBArank

@DashiellD: Augustin easily wins the NBA's best D.J. award, handily beating out Mbenga, White, and Strawberry. #NBArank

@QCsportscrave: Not sure about Augustin's future in this league as a PG, but with the arrival of Kemba, he will see more open shots and a scoring role.


120



DeJuan Blair

@DeJuan45

GM PPG RPG APG FG% FT%

@Jubanator14: DeJuan Blair's #NBArank of 120 is also the number of times per game the announcers mention he has no ACLs.
