amac Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) With the season over who you got? 1. Lebron 2. Kawhi 3. Giannis 4. Harden 5. Doncic 6. Jokic 7. Anthony Davis 8. Tatum 9. Chris Paul 10. Lillard HM: Butler, Embiid, Booker, Beal, Donovan Mitchell Leaving out Curry and KD due to injuries, but would probably be #4, and 2 for me if healthy Edited October 24, 2020 by amac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I'll just assume everyone's at 100% 1. LeBron James 2. Kevin Durant 3. Kawhi Leonard 4. Steph Curry 5. Giannis Antetokounmpo 6. Anthony Davis 7. James Harden 8. Nikola Jokic 9. Luka Doncic 10. Jimmy Butler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl4life07 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 1 KD - Him being out people forget how great he is. He is going to remind people of that this upcoming season 2 LeBron - Just about every have him first which is understandable but I think KD has shown when healthy especially over his last three seasons he is better than LeBron. 3 Steph - I wouldve put Kawhi here but my thinking is Steph wouldnt have allowed the Clippers to choke away three big leads against the Nuggets if he was on the Clippers. Steph is lethal and just like I said with KD, people seem to forget that because Curry was hurt for the most part last season. 4 Kawhi - Even with him choking in the playoffs this past season I cant have him lower than 4th. He still has a great two way player. What he showed was when there are expectations and he is the leader he needs to do a better job. He isnt there yet so hopefully he learned and will be better moving forward. 5 Giannis - I wouldve had him higher but just like Kawhi he has a big weakness. His weakness is front running. When everything is great he is unstoppable but when the Bucks are trailing by double digit he rarely can lead them back because he doesnt have a three point game and if the defense build a wall around the basket Giannis is screwed. Dont get me wrong he is a great player and the Bucks are a great regular season team but they are just a totally different postseason team and it starts with him for their struggles. KD, LeBron, Steph, and Kawhi all proved they can do it in the postseason and Giannis hasnt. 6 Harden - He is in the same situation as Giannis. He is a great player and his regular seasons are phenomenal but his postseasons are alot left to be desired. He literally runs out of gas in the postseason and cant take the Rockets over that hump. 7 AD - Speaking of getting over that hump, he certainly did. A talented player that the question was him getting to the playoffs and showing everyone he is a star that can get it done. He did and while he gets knocked because it took him joining LeBron to do so, I give him his props for not riding LeBron coat tail. He hit big shots and played great. He stayed healthy which was a big knock on him too. The Lakers werent a perfect team but AD made them dangerous. 8 Klay - I feel like people are going to be reintroduced to this guy. People have forgotten how great he is not just because he missed all of last season but because he had to take somewhat of a backseat to when KD got to the Warriors. I technically should have him higher thats how much I think of Klay. Him and Steph will once again show the league that they are the best shooting backcourt in NBA history. 9 Kyrie - Not having him in the top 10 is just a disrespect. The only reason I dont have him higher is because he does have injury issues. The best ability is availability. Im hoping he can do what AD did this year and just stay healthy to give the Nets a scary 1-2 punch with him and KD. I think its definitely going to work and when it does Kyrie is going to remind the league that he is arguably the best guard in the NBA. 10 Doncic - He makes the game look so easy. When I think about Luka I think of a guy who game is always the same each night. You know what to expect him giving you on a nightly bases. What he did in the playoffs to the heavily favored Clippers without Porzingis and playing on a bad ankle was spectacular. He is for sure a top 10 player.

Pastor Dillon Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Boston is probably my favorite eastern conference team but I struggle with the idea of Tatum over Butler after what we saw this post season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think butler really played anything like a top 10 guy until others went down, he seemed content to be a passenger for a lot of the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Averaged 22/6/6 through the entire post season. He was a 20/6/6 guy on the season. Hes a 5 time all star 3 time all NBA guy 4 time all Defense I think i can have him in my current top 10 without a doubt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger murdock Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 1. LeBron —————————— clearly the best, been the best player in the post season 8 of the last 9 years 2. Curry 3. Durant 4. Leonard 5. Giannis 6. Harden 7. Jokic 8. Doncic 9. Davis —————————-order of them can change up but to me this is unquestionably the top 9 players. 10. Lilliard 11. Butler 12.

On the season he averaged 20 ppg, 7 rpg, 6 apg, and 2 spg on good efficiency while being one of the top perimeter defenders in the league.

Yeah he's definitely a borderline top 10 guy for me as well. I just gave him the nod over guys like Lillard and Tatum due to his postseason performance.

He is clutch, he is one of the best guards in regards of scoring, he can get his shot anywhere and unstoppable when he wants to get to the paint. Need I go on?? Whats sad is people forget that because of the perception that Kyrie killed Boston and that the Nets were actually a better team without him. The Cavs wouldnt have that championship over the Warriors if Kyrie didnt hit that big shot over Steph. It wasnt LeBron it was Kyrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
