Delon has been great so far, but Kyle is still a top-10 player in the NBA.

He's absolutely up there in terms of production.

From your list I'd easily take him over John Wall, and you could make a case for him over Butler too.

So according to that link

Lowry has a higher impact than

Durant
Giannis
Anthony Davis?

Find that hard to believe

Anyways last year Lowry had the 2 pg lineups that absolutely destroyed the oppessing teams benches. Let's see advanced stats, net rating and rpm alters this this year. I'm expecting a big decrease

Nah, it depends how you value this 'top'. KLow is much better part of NBA-constructed machine than Russ or Harden in terms how he aligns others around him to get max effect for the team. I'd rank them by the impact done on others being better. With this regard, I'd take Harden, Russ, Brow, Jimmy/Wall from your list-of-ten. E.g., PG seemed being like one of the top but listen to Indy fans today - they say, Pacers are much better TEAM without him and it pays. So again - what is the value to be a "top" guy?

While Bebe deserves minutes there is no way on Gawds Green I play him over Poetl. Look what happens to JV on offence when they don't freeze him out and they barely blink at Jak.

Justin Anderson is BC's Alan Anderson/Antoine Wright. I swear he just brings in players based on facial expressions.

Simmons is really effortless getting into the paint. Also effortless on defense. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that they lose 50 games again.

For me, passing has always been the best indicator of how quickly rookies can read the NBA game. Ahead on that curve already: OG Anunoby.

He wasn't that good in college. His team was 2-16 in conference play and lost 13 straight games to end the season. Kid seems like a real leader out there.

Yeah, you didn't watch Washington I guess.

The best teammates he had were David Crisp, a 6 foot shooting guard, and Noah Dickerson, neither of which will ever be drafted or appear in an NBA game.

That team was a clown show full of guys who shouldn't even be playing D1 basketball. I absolutely despise people who bring up Washington's poor record and pin it on Fultz. Scum of the earth casuals who clearly didn't watch the games but since LaVar Ball brought it up it's apparently fact


Ask the board if anyone would trade Fultz str8 up for OG today.
If we didnt have lowry and massive contracts yo demar and serg anyone should do that deal.

Would you take og or fultz with the number one pick?

Back in 2011, would you take Kawhi Leonard over Kyrie Irving as the #1 pick?

That chase down block by Jakob was dope. Nice to have a C that can move like that and make up for getting beat at the 3-point line.

Good win for us overall

LOLOL he's easily top 3! You're gonna get flamed with advanced stats now just watch...
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

There's a bit of a dropoff after the Elite 8: Lebron / KD / Kawhi / Steph / Westbrook / Harden / Brow / Giannis

After that, there's a cluster: CP3 / Draymond / Lowry / DeRozan / IT / Butler / Irving / Wall / Gobert / DeAndre / Blake / Paul George / KAT

Personally, I'd take CP3 (still arguably the best pure PG in the league, but health is a concern), and Draymond (probably one of the Top 5 players in the league that could score 0 points and make the most impact on his team).

with a guy as dominant as him, you'd think they'd be beating teams a little easier than they are. that's why i think the bucks are a bit overrated.
