My how the mighty have fallen.

New York Knicks point guard Derrick Rose – former No. 1 overall pick and former MVP – did not make the cut to be included on SI.com's Top 100 players list for the upcoming 2016-17 season.

That might be stunning to some.

Rob Mahoney of Sports Illustrated explained why Rose didn't make the cut:

Last season was a twisted mess for Rose, who despite a few impressive performances wound up submarining his team’s overall performance. The former superstar is a dangerous sort; the attributes that made Rose so effective early in his career have largely left him, yet still he operates and carries himself as if he were an MVP candidate.

This is a common take of one side of basketball fans regarding Rose. The other, still isn't ready to let go of what Rose once was.

Last season, Rose averaged 16.4 points and 4.7 assists while shooting 42.7 percent from the field and 29.3 percent from three. Definitely, not the MVP we once knew and pretty inefficient for the most part. That kind of play isn't going to sit well with the modern NBA sports writer.

Rose may have been graded more harshly than other players because of the thought process that he is unwilling to adjust his game since his athleticism began to fade. But he wasn't the only surprising player left off.

Here's a few other players that were also snubbed: Harrison Barnes, Tony Allen, Tyson Chandler, Jamal Crawford, Monta Ellis and Tyreke Evans. These are all guys who have made the Top 100 before and it shows that maybe it's a little harder than you think to crack the list.
