Though 10 spots higher, DeRozan still disagrees with SI rank

Sports Illustrated is in the process of releasing its annual list of Top 100 active NBA players, and for the second straight year they've got an adversary.
Last fall, they ranked Toronto Raptors swingman DeMar DeRozan 46th in the league, something that rubbed DeRozan - and many others - the wrong way.
This year, they've moved DeRozan 10 spots higher to 36th, perhaps on the strength of 2016-17 being his third All-Star season. Still, it's not sitting well with him.

His employers picked up on the tweet but cleaned it up a bit.
