Scoring (pp75, rTS%)

Westbrook: 33.6, +0.1
Isaiah: 31.8, +7.2
Kawhi: 29.2, +5.7
Harden: 28.8, +6
Davis: 28.5, +2.7
Lebron: 26.2, +6.6
Giannis: 24.5, +3.2

I think ranking them it comes out:

1. Isaiah
2. Kawhi
3. Harden
4. Lebron
5. Westbrook
6. Davis
7. Giannis

Playmaking / Passer rankings:

1. Westbrook
2. Harden
3. Isaiah
4. Lebron
5. Kawhi
6. Giannis
7. Davis

Defense rankings:

1. Kawhi
2. Davis
3. Giannis
4. Lebron
5. Harden
6. Westbrook
7. Isaiah

Overall:

1. LeBron. Still the king. We saw the elite offense he led in the playoffs. Was great in the regular season.

2. Kawhi. Great mix of scoring and defense.

3. Harden. Great scoring / playmaking.

4. Westbrook. Do it all offensive performance. Lost efficiency, but his volume was elite.

5. Isaiah. Magical season from the little guy. Yeah, he’s a sieve defensively, but at point guard, you can scheme a defense to minimize his weakness.

6. Davis. Great defense, decent offense.

7. Giannis. Breakout season.

This is everything I'd need to prove Giannis is easily the most overrated ever. He's being put in discussions with arguable peak Lebron (who is arguably top 1-2 all-time), when Giannis isn't even in his prime. The amount of glaze Giannis has been getting is completely ridiculous and out of hand.

He is quite clearly and easily the most overrated player in NBA history. Not even top 50 ever, yet putting him in undeserved discussions at 2017, with arguable peak Lebron. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: . Glad to know I'm completely, 100000% correct now. Ridiculous

If 2017 freaking Giannis is compared to peak Lebron by what people consider a smart board, then with anyone with brain cells to think, and eyes to see, should clearly see Giannis is the most overrated player ever. I wouldn't put peak Giannis over anybody here, except maybe Isaiah and AD

1. Lebron - arguably his best offensive version, not his best D but still good
2. Kawhi - not DPOY level anymore, but if he could turn it up at times in 19 playoffs, he probably could've here too
3. Davis - Weak regular season results but stats are fine and I like his two way skillset more than Harden
4. Harden - Great regular season player but gimmicky game less valuable in playoffs
5. Westbrook - Russ helped bring OKC to the brink of beating GSW the year before so I don't want to to write off his fantastic 15-17 play as a non winner
6. Isaiah - Nice season but one of the worst defensive guards of this era. One of the worst conference finals teams, but still a conference finals team.
7. Giannis - Will downgrade him a bit for youth, I believe his D hadn't clicked in yet
It's going to be a glorious day... I feel my luck could change
