ESPN's NBA Rankings -- Grading On a Curve

Obviously you cannot have a straight grading system where 90% is an A and 80% is a B and 70% is a C, etc., because then 423 out of 500 ranked NBA players are failing (below 6 out of 10, even rounding up).

So you need to grade on a curve. There is a more statistically sound way to do this, but it would take more effort, so I am going to go with this idea:

Reduce the league down to 360 guys (30 teams times 12 active roster spots).
10% As
20% Bs
40% Cs
20% Ds and
10% Fs

So here are your cutoffs:

Right at the D to F cutoff (around 3.02 out of 10):
Terrance Williams
A.J. Price
Von Wafer
Brian Cardinal


Right at the C to D cutoff (around 3.8 out of 10):
Jordan Farmar
Michael Redd
Enes Kanter
Kurt Thomas


Right at the B to C cutoff (around 5.45 out of 10):Baron Davis
Antawn Jamison
Rodney Stuckey
Michael Beasley
J.R. Smith

Right at the A to B cutoff (around 7.26 out of 10):
Iggy
Ray Allen
Danny Granger
Tyson Chandler
Stephon Curry

A+ (above 9.65) -- Dirk, Paul, Wade, Howard, LeBron
