Klay Thompson

ESPN ranking: 49

This is one of the most controversial rankings that ESPN had. Many people suggested on social media that Klay Thompson should be switched around with Luka Doncic, who was ranked 16th.

He is one of the top two shooters in the league. The other one is his teammate and also the best shooter of all time — we’ll get to him later, of course.

His ranking should be around 15-20.
