From 1-3, best to "worst" (in quotes because they're all fantastic), how would you rank them?

Poll is for the best only.

George
Gobert
Towns

I had Gobert, PG, KAT. I'm shocked to see 2 KAT votes already.

Based off the most recent game:
George






Gobert
Towns

But more seriously:
Gobert

Well 3 now (guilty as charged).

PG has a way of always just being a better player in the playoffs, and after 1 game it definitely appears to once again be the case. If he plays like that he's a clear step ahead of the other two guys.

KAT and Gobert are pretty close, I think I'd rather have Gobert but he missed a lot of games so it evens it up a bit.

Gobert
PG
KAT

I'm biased on Gobert, I just love his game. Still I think at his best he's the best guy here. PG is a close 2 and KAT has a case himself, but I didn't watch enough post butler injury to feel good using just the box score stats after that.

As a team starved for a SF I'd rather have George than Gobert and consider him more valuable. It's much easier to find a guy who brings 60 to 80% of Gobert than it is to find that same guy to George. Not to mention versatility, playoffs etc. But it's clear Gobert has been more impactful in the regular season, although it's close compared to KAT being the odd man out here.

George
Towns
Gobert

People forget how good George was before his injury. He was being compared to LeBron and Durant because he was that good and he was actually better than Durant because of his superior defense and athleticism. Sure he lost some athleticism after the injury but he is still damn good.

This season only.

I lean Gobert while on the court but his 1100 fewer minutes is too big a headwind (60% of his actual 1816 minutes of playing time).

KAT clearly had the best season of the three. George and KAT both averaged about the same PPG(21.9 for PG and 21.3 for KAT), but KAT was much more efficient(65%TS compared to 57% for George). Also, defensively, while most aren’t high on KAT, and rightfully so, he was okay on defense this year, and most defensive metrics have him at, or better than George on that end(DRPM, on/off numbers).

That being said, I probably trust in George’s game more because he’s been a proven and reliable postseason player on both ends whereas we havent seen anything from KAT yet.

"don't think of playoff P, don't think of playoff P, don't think of playoff P"

Gobert
PG
Towns

Basketball is a two way game

Yes, I succeeded to think of regular P only
Or wasn't that the question?

Only regular season, I have....

Rudy Gobert
Karl-Anthony Towns
Paul George

....Unfortunately Towns is going to continue to get underutilized in this clean sweep against Houston, and everyone that doesn't watch Minnesota will pin it all on him when it is the same poor game-planning I have complained about all season, but that is a complete digression from the thread, just late night bitterness.

Paul George is nuts in the playoffs though, holy cow.

If we ranking on who had the best season its hard not to say Towns. He was a monster second half of the season. If we ranking based on who I want on my playoff team, Towns is probably 3rd.

George doesn’t try in the regular season since he broke his leg so I think he’d the best player here but Goberts has the best season. Followed by pg and Kat close behind. Kat is under utilised

I know I am just saying that is the same player. He was that good but the injury just decreased his athleticism slightly.

Gobert, KAT, PG.

I think KAT gets underrated because he's used so poorly. PG doesn't get his due either, but I think he's starting to coast in the regular season and loses points for that.
