Magic, Curry, Garnett, Giannis. Iirc they went 10-13 in 2022’s Greatest Peaks project.

I’d probably go KG, Magic, Steph, Giannis, most likely to flip Magic/Steph.

Probably something like this. It’s close, which is what what makes this discussion fun.
Edit: Already four different types of combinations

Giannis and Curry on top probably. Magic after. Then KG last. It's close between all of them though.

I wanna say KG > Giannis > Magic > Curry with Giannis' placement being the most fluid.
Giannis is weird to rate for me because I'm not sure how his offense translates without a floor spacing 5. I'd need to see him without Brook or playing the majority of his minutes at C for the entirety of a season.

Well Lopez missed most of the 2022 season, and despite the Bucks understandably not taking the regular season too seriously after winning a title, they went 41-18 in the games Lopez missed. It feels like Giannis managed just fine.

I mean anyways the bucks went 4 out 1 in in their championship run right?
They’d put a guard in so the help defender would be too small to help, and since I’m assuming it’s usually jrue or Middleton putting a big in them isn’t viable either

That season is kinda underrated in that we had an ownership issue with one of the partnership not wanting to go into his wallet so Pat Connaughton played as our third big once Lopez got injured, outside of the 10 day contracts for Monroe and Cousins. Pat is usually a 7th man SG/SF.

Steph and Magic are a toss-up, then KG, then Giannis.

I am giving Giannis the benefit of the doubt by placing him 2nd. His floor would take him below Curry for me.
What gives me pause on what you mentioned about the 2022 season is that Lopez's backup was Portis, who is more of a tweener but was still filling in as a 5 defensively. Their defense also wasn't nearly what it was in the surrounding seasons.
I'm just not confident that he can be maximized both offensively and defensively without a rare connective piece like Lopez. TBH I probably should've placed him below Magic.
