The rest of top15 or so are pretty close.
Lebron derangement syndrome is strong :lol: . Him KD and Steph are fighting father time but still all of them likely should be higher than they are.
Lots of guys like Mobley, Mitchell and some others seem higher than they should be when you got guys like Brown, kawhi (his health is obviously the issue) Butler, Siakam still on the board.
Tough though, basically just comes down to certain fanbases getting their votes in on their guy before poll closes :wink: and if a player is hated, just voting for whoever has best chance of beating that 41yr old hated man :P


It would be fun to see all the old guys put on the same team and see where they finished:

Paul (40) / Westbrook (37 in November)
Curry (37) / Harden (36)
Durant (37 in September) / J Butler (36 in a week)
LeBron (41) / N Batum (36)
Lopez (37) / K Love (37 today)

With the exceptions of Durant, Westbrook, and Love, this is basically just a mashup of the teams from California :lol:


And Horford :D

Jaylen Brown takes this round with 35% of the vote
I think I counted 3 noms for Derrick White, vs 1 or 2 for a few other guys, so he is added to the next poll. Pretty cool imo.

Voted Kawhi Leonard

Nominated Zion Williamson

I’d have voted him by now but I think he will be suspended, this is about performance next season, I can’t in good conscience vote for a guy who won’t play much.


It's a big nothing burger. Wait and see!

Franz is better than a couple of players already listed.
