I hope he cracks top 10 by next summer so he can earn that nice fat pay check.

I don't agree with parts of that list. How is Damian Lillard even on the same planet as Paul George? I would take George any day of the week over Lillard,Wall, or Cousins. I also don't get how someone can realistically believe Kobe will be top ten (besides laker fans). He might be good but not top ten good and if he is we can say goodbye to a top ten pick from the Lakers. Last but not least, come on, I would take Goran over Lillard. Lillard must one of the most overrated players.

I love Goran and I'm not sure I'd take Lillard over him but I couldn't disagree more with that last statement.

Lillard can flat out ball. Reminds me Westbrook minus the douche behavior.

C'mon Lillard is being talked about everywhere.. at all all-star events and was on ESPY'S. Overrated is okay and I can see why someone uses that with him.

Do think he will be a great player though just get off his nuts nation.

I live in Portland and watch A LOT of Blazer games, I wholeheartedly agree, he is overrated. Great shooter, super clutch but doesn't have a whole lot else going for him.

Thank you. I know the dude can score but I have heard he is one of the biggest defensive liabilities there is in the NBA. Same with James Harden. I still remember the game when the Suns were playing Portland and Eddie Johnson kept going on and on about how Lillard just can not play defense. Players get by him all the time.

Good to see Irving didn't make top 20.

Westbrook can play lock down defense if he is focused enough, Lillard is nothing like that. I thought I remember reading somewhere that Lillard takes nearly half his shots from three and that's why his percentages suffer. I know he can get better, I just think he and Harden are a couple of the most overrated players due to the fact that neither play defense.

Oh I think he can get a lot better, I just feel that he is definitely not top 20 In the NBA RIGHT NOW and is overrated.

Well deserved.

Interesting list - not the order I would put these guys in and some of them would not make the list at all. Rose and Bryant certainly would not be on the list. Harden and Dragic are too low Liliard is ok but should be below Dragic. Parker would be on the list. I suspect Irving will be much improved merely because of LeBron's presence. Also find it hard to keep Dirk off the list.

It is one man's subjective opinions.

My top 3 2014-2015 players is slightly different than that list.

1. Durant
2. James
3. Davis

Davis will be a 22 ppg 10 rpg 3 apg 3 bpg 1.5 apg big man

Lillard is ridiculously clutch at such a young age. Who was the last player as clutch as him and a very good shooter at such a young age?

DirtyDez · Post #16 » by **DirtyDez** » Fri Jul 25, 2014 2:13 am

What if I told you a year ago that we'd be complaining about Dragic being the 20th best player in the league...

Yeah, and they may have missed some. I looked at the list earlier, but can't remember Bosh being on it. Surely he should be. Horford as well if you are including Rose and Kobe. Those guys are both max players no question.

Davis needs to start putting up some wins.

As of right now, he will be seen the same way that people saw Bosh in Toronto or Kevin Love in Minnesota.

He has the potential to be as good as the Minnesota KG though.

I hope next year Durant will clearly surpass LBJ. Though it will be hard to him to have another >30ppg season if Westbrook is healthy.

Glad that Dragic gets some recognition.
