The DeAndr-ankings

It feels like ages since the idea popped into the Committee's head to create the definitive ranking of NBA players named DeAndre (or some variation thereof), but the truth is that this wonderful creation is just six weeks old. Six glorious weeks of debating the merits of Ayton, Bembry, Hunter, and Jordan - Deandre, DeAndre', De'Andre, and DeAndre, as you probably know them.

Are you going to start doing this for them as well? First of all, oh my god. That's wonderful. Second-of-ly, I don't follow the NFL closely enough to do that.
