I'd go

Embiid 96 and Harden an 90

And then Tatum a 95 and Brown a 91

It's borderline a tie for me.

I thought this should be Embiid/Harden easy. The difference between the Celtics and 76ers is the gap between the supporting casts.

I value Harden's playmaking over Brown's defense.

Tyrese Maxey is better than any 3rd wheel on the Celtics easy

Maybe...but White/Brogdon/Rob Williams are all closer to Maxey than they are Harris.

This game showing my opinion, I'd go even further and say the gap between Harden and Embiid is smaller than most people think

If that's true. There is no reason the 76ers shouldn't be in the finals with a healthy Embiid.

Sure but Embiid won't be healthy this post-season.

I've got Maxey and Brogdon on the same tier. Maxey is capable of some huge outbursts, but Brogdon's got the more well rounded, consistent game.

Then I've got Tobias, Timelord, White and Smart are on the same tier.

I think people probably underrate Tobias a bit due to his contract, and overrated Maxey because of age/how exciting he can be to watch.

And then you've got Horford and Grant Williams.

Celtics have the best 3-8 spots in the rotation in the league. Im not even sure who's close.

Denver is probably closest [MPJ, Bruce Brown, KCP, Aaron Gordon, Jeff Green and Christian Braun] or the Lakers [Reaves, DLo, Vanderbilt, Rui, Schroder, Brown Jr] but neither are all that close.

I think those 2 are pretty rough honestly. Denver's bench is rough and the Lakers are the island of misfit toys.

Grizzlies feel like the closest. Clippers I guess are up there, but they almost have too much depth if that's a thing.
