RealGM Top 25 Player Poll-#22 2018-19

We have debates all the time in various threads over who is better so I thought what better time than summer to see where the General Board lies in its view of the top 25 best players.

I'll update each new poll with the rankings of the last and the percentages of who won.
There's only 10 options per poll so new options will be added as we get lower and lower.

Lets come to a consensus. Feel free to comment who you voted for and why.

If you think someone else should be in the poll who is not there please comment and i'll adjust accordingly.

I would appreciate it if you can state clearly the procedure.

We vote daily(?) the best player among those who are remaining (and in the poll)?
And after each day, you remove said best voted player, list him as the next best player on our bestlist and start a new poll with the remaining players?

From your players I would replace Irving with Embiid


These are the procedures, yes. Every winner will be removed and then a new entrant will be included on the next poll.

Hmmm, do I think the guy who put up 16/8/8 for a 20.0 PER as a rookie while ranking 8th out of 99 point guards in DRPM might manage to be a Top 22 player next year? Hmmm. Yeah, I think he can manage it. Vote Simmons.

Nominate Porter for next poll.

Also, major LOLs at Blake getting nominated before Porter, Hayward, Tatum, Love, or Capela.

Voted John Wall.

The past season clearly damaged his reputation but he did battle injuries throughout. He looked like his former self in the Playoffs.

Seems time to nominate Tatum. Could vote for lots of guys here. I personally think Horford but Wall Simmons Mitchell are all deserving.

Blake's not the Piston I would've chosen, but as mentioned above, if we are topping out at 25 then nominations don't really matter anymore.

In either case, I've been vascillating between Simmons and Horford, but I think I'll go with Simmons this time.

Nominate Drummond if we're continuing beyond 25.

Why is Porzingis still not listed even as an option? To be honest he would be in my top 20.
