On the flip side dunleavy looks done as an NBA player.

Dunleavy looked great in the preseason and against the Knicks, 4pts and 4 rebounds. I think he'll be great in spurts but just miss a few easy shots here and there.

Kyle Lowry looks like he spent his offseason at McDonalds.

derozen is only 27, if he could learn to shoot threes the guy would be a top ten nba player imo. I dont get these star nba players who can't shoot not learning to shoot, 6 more pts per game he's scratching 30 ppg.

Orlando getting annihilated. Not surprised.

By the way, I was just thinking about this, but is Paul Millsap a top ten player in the league? I mean, his career trajectory has been remarkable. He started this season with 28 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists.

Last three years in ATL (all all-star years).
2013-14: 17.9 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 3.1 apg, 1.1 bpg, 1.7 spg
2014-15: 16.7 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 3.1 apg, 0.9 bpg, 1.8 spg
2015-16: 17.1 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 3.3 apg, 1.7 bpg, 1.8 spg

This guy might be the most underrated player in the league.

What is j vals trade value? the raptors have two centers who should do just fine in siakom and poetl. I would move on from j val although i don't what you can get at the 3/4 thats worth it.

He hasn't been great in the playoffs and overall isn't that efficient. His raw numbers are fine but not anything outstanding otherwise. A good 2nd option, but probably never much more than that.

i guess he was signed this year, but i'm just not a fan of his lumbering play style. I saw Poeltl in person he is a very smart and skilled player, and a clearly more mobile than jval.

Poeltl is good.

LeBron looks disinterested today.

Barnes with 12 points in the first quarter

This is like a playoff game. Crowd is hype.

Millsap is seperated from the top players when you examine his post-season performances, but even in the regular season, I think you are underestimating how many players are in competition for the top 10 spots. Lebron, Durant, Curry, Leonard, Paul, Westbrook, Davis, George, Griffin, Harden. That's already 10 players right there, so I don't know about top 10, there's also guys like Cousins, Lillard, etc, etc

Raptors are pretty fun to watch, and holding it together against the cavs. I dig poeltl too. Should be a good year for them.

Eh...I wouldn't put Griffin ahead of Millsap.

Raps fighting hard but it seems like the Cavs have an answer for them every run.

Well, there we have it. Yeah, all of those guys are better, although I waffle a bit on Harden, since he isn't a two-way player. Harden also tends to be bad come playoff time as well, but I understand people who have him over Sap.I guess, we need may need to put together a consensus top 15-20 list.
