🚨 TOP PLAYS OF 2025-26 🚨 80. Norman Powell 79. Immanuel Quickley 78. Brandon Ingram 77. Quentin Grimes 76. Maxey & Via @NBA on X

What happened: Robert Williams III is No. 74, followed by Derik Queen at No. 75 and VJ Edgecombe at No. 76. Quentin Grimes, Brandon Ingram and Immanuel Quickley occupy Nos. 77-79.

Why it matters: Edgecombe is the only player listed in both this group and the preceding No. 81-90 tier, moving from No. 90 to No. 76. That gives him two entries among the 20 rankings from No. 71 through No. 90.

By the numbers: The latest block 76 is the only shared position.

What to watch: The rollout will resume at No. 70 and continue toward the top-ranked play.
