Top-15 players in the NBA right now? 

Post#1 » by KF10 » Wed Dec 17, 2014 7:20 am

I haven't seen anyone made a top-15 best players list so far. Here are the candidates:

Not in order:

Kevin Durant
James Harden
Russell Westbrook
Anthony Davis
LeBron James
Stephen Curry
DeMarcus Cousins
Chris Paul
John Wall
LaMarcus Aldridge
Blake Griffin
Pau Gasol
Damian Lillard
Kyle Lowry
Marc Gasol
Carmelo Anthony
Chris Bosh
Dwight Howard
Klay Thompson
Mike Conley

Those are 20 players listed. Who makes the cut?

What is your list (ranked)?

This is the list for me. I'm not ready to take out Melo because he's in a poor situation. It must be frustrating as hell wastching the best years of your career spent with casts like that, but he put himself in that position.
Kevin Durant
James Harden
Russell Westbrook
Anthony Davis
LeBron James
Stephen Curry
DeMarcus Cousins
Chris Paul
Lillard
LaMarcus Aldridge
Blake Griffin
Marc Gasol
Carmelo Anthony
Chris Bosh
Dwight Howard

Basing my list on the body of work this season so far (meaning taking games played into account and not taking previous level of play into account):

1. Steph Curry
2. Anthony Davis
3. LeBron James
4. James Harden
5. Russell Westbrook
6. Chris Paul
7. Marc Gasol
8. Kyle Lowry
9. DeMarcus Cousins
10. Kevin Durant
11. Jimmy Butler
12. Dwight Howard
13. Damian Lillard
14. Blake Griffin
15. Kyrie Irving

Would ook a lot different if I were ranking them solely on level of play.
