Andre Iguodala: 87th Ranked
The former All-Star has been ranked as the 87th best player in the NBA. At 34 years of age, this is a good place for Andre Iguodala.
Iguodala is known for his physical defense. As a two-time member of the All-Defensive team, Iggy is one of the best defenders in the league. He is notorious for playing gritty defense against some of the most elite scorers in today’s game.
His offensive game has also taken a new shape in recent years. Once known as an athletic slasher, Iguodala now can score in a number of different ways. His jump shot is still inconsistent, but he can find a way to make opponents pay.
In this stage of Iguodala’s career, he can only be effective in quick spurts. His athletic ability is still there but there isn’t as much gas left in the tank. His body has failed him in recent years and this has clearly impacted his game.
Still, it’s difficult to find players with his veteran savviness and defensive IQ. Iguodala is a valuable member of the Golden State Warriors and deserves his spot on this list.
