What are your opinions about the ranking ?

I don't know why Durant is a tier ahead of Westbrook. Last season, I thought Westbrook was better, and they are the same age, with similar injury history, so I have no idea why KD is that much ahead. Leonard would probably be on the top tier with Curry and LeBron, to me. He wasn't as good as them last season, but he's younger than both, has great work ethic, and will probably make another significant improvement this season.

I think Wiggins may get into the top 50 this season. I expect to see a considerable improvement from him, too.

[bondom34]

Yeah if tier 1 is 3 guys the 3rd is Kawhi to me, not Durant. But honestly its 2 guys. Also KAT is great but he's not that high yet either.

[SactoKingsFan]

KAT won't be better than Cousins next season. Also don't see why there should be a sizable gap between KAT and Porzingis.

Top 30 seems like a big stretch for Beal. He's injury prone and hasn't even been a top 10 SG. I'd take Oladipo over Beal.

I have no idea what's so great about Beal. Dude is pretty much an average-at-best SG. He can shoot the 3 pretty well, but that's the only real positive he does. He has a below average PER, BPM and TS% after four seasons in the league. Isn't a good defender, either, so I see no reason to act like these stats underrate him.

[eminence]

Hayward?

[feyki]

I think Beal will get to the next level . I'd remember him , playing with 25-5-5 against Hawks in the playoff . With Scott Brooks' mentality , He could reach his peak this year .

I don't think Hayward is top 40-45 range player . But he could be 49th or 50th , instead of Monroe and Dragic .

[Quotatious]

Hayward?

Absolutely. I hadn't noticed he's not on the list. He's easily a top 50 player, I'd say he was probably around 35-40 for the last two seasons.

Oh, and who the hell is Demarre Derozan? Is that a DeMar DeRozan/DeMarre Carroll hybrid? DeRozan being able to defend like Carroll would be really excellent two-way player.

Anyway, I think 48 is way too low for DeRozan, even as he is, without great defense. The gap between him and Klay Thompson is way too big on that list. I actually thought DeRozan was better than Thompson in the regular season last year, then Klay vastly outplayed him in the playoffs, but it doesn't quite justify such a huge gap, especially considering DeMar is an absolute gym rat, coming off the best season of his career, and will probably come back even better in 2016-17. Plus, guys coming back from Olympics tend to be much improved the following season.

I don't get it. Where is The Process Embiid?

[Statlanta]

What are your opinions about the ranking ?

Before I comment are these predictions on what these players will do this year or how you evaluate them last year?

[feyki]

OrlandoTill ;

Prediction .

Quotitous ;

.

Defence . Defence is the only reason why Isaiah and Derozan listed that low . Klay was a bit better offensive force than Derozan and much better defensive player . He's totally on another tier .

I would take Rubio 10/10.

I don't mind that there are no Magic players on this list but to say Greg Monroe and Enes Kanter are while Giannis, Hayward and Vucevic aren't is crazy

I know right? Might as well add Jahlil Okafor at that point

[Prez]

I'm confident there won't be more than 30 players better than Giannis this year, let alone 50.

[feyki]

I'm confident there won't be more than 30 players better than Giannis this year, let alone 50.

So , he will be an all-star candidate . Interesting .

Hassan at 20 . If i did rank 60 players , Hayward and Vucevic would be in the list . There's no huge gap of between Hayward/Vucevic/Monroe/Enes .

I don't understand where's coming from that Giannis love . He has great physical tool , but lacks of skills and basketball iq .

How does he lack IQ? He is a good passer, plays solid defense and plays almost exclusively to his strengths. Shooting ability is hardly indicative of basketball IQ.

I think he is as much of a potential pick just like KAT and Porzingis are in your list. I trust a full season of trust from Kidd and playmaking duties would put him in the top 50. I think the big role he's due to have this season would make him more impactful than the Monroes, Kanters, and Beals at his size. I simply think it's easier to see Giannis top 50 than KAT top 18 imo.

Yeah his IQ is fine. His skills are another thing entirely. That said top 30 is pushing it. I don't see him outplaying Hayward who is barely top 30 if that

Porzingis at 43 for last year alone might be accurate I don't think you can call that a potential pick. KAT at 18 is though.
