I need help from a basketball jock

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I was doing a Google News search on my man and came across this:

The All-Decade Minnesota Timberwolves Team
Wally Szczerbiak - Probably the second best Wolf in history, but not one of the better players to ever come here.

That seems self-contradicting to me. If He's the 2nd best Wolf in history, how could He not be one of the better, if not best, players to come to the team?

What am I missing?
