I do feel silly leaving out KG, though. A top five would've been a lot easier.
4 is a good number because it's tougher to decide. It's led to a very good contest, which is pretty evenly distributed.

I think its easy Kobe,KG,Dirk and then for a wild card as he's only has a season under his belt Wemby.

Not sure what on earth Kobe's case over Giannis would be, given Giannis is better on both ends. The stats aren't even close. Giannis is a more valuable player type too.

KG, Dirk, Kobe and KD
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

Even Dirk thinks Luka is better than him.

I think he has. He avoided major injury at that size, showed he can defensive rebound enough to play the 5. Showed iq to play in different roles on offense and defense. The only thing I need to see to be sold on him is some go to moves and individual shot creation. He’s already very good- elite at everything else

So which of the players in the poll do you have him as already better than?

Wemby, Wemby, Wemby & Wemby.
There isn’t another player in the NBA I’d trade Wemby for.
