2025 SI NBA 100 Rankings, Nos. 50–11: Where Jalen Williams’s Unforeseen Rise Lands Him

Sports Illustrated’s NBA 100 ranking is back ahead of the 2025–26 season. This season, SI writers Chris Mannix and Liam McKeone voted on the top players. The list represents the top 100 NBA players based on their current projection for this season. Players with long-term injuries were still considered for these projections, but rookies are not included. Only players with at least one NBA season are evaluated against each other. Players are ranked based on their overall skill set and are not weighted based on their team’s performance. We started with Nos. 100–51 on Tuesday, followed by Nos. 50–11 today and the top 10 on Thursday.
