"Victor Wembanyama is awesome, but top 10 is too high for him at this moment. I'm not saying he won't get there -- even by the end of this upcoming season. But he simply doesn't have the credentials or pressure performances of the other top-10 players in the league."
"The disrespect to Tyler Herro (No. 68). Yes, Herro will be out for the early part of the regular season with a foot injury, but this is a player who was selected as an All-Star last season. For a fourth straight campaign, Herro averaged at least 20 points, and he finished 2024-25 with five games of at least 35 points, a career-best 47.2% mark from the field and 5.5 assists per game. He played a career-high 77 games last season."
The NBA's preseason top-100 player rankings produced notable debate over which players belong in the top 10 and which stars were underrated or snubbed. Questions arose about whether established future Hall of Famers retain top-10 status and how injuries would affect placements for Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton. Victor Wembanyama received a top-10 slot that some view as premature due to limited high-pressure credentials. Tyler Herro's placement at No. 68 drew criticism given his All-Star selection, consecutive 20-point seasons, improved efficiency, assist averages, and heavy playing time last season.
