Do you believe Dwyane Wade is a top-10 player right now?

[RealGM Polls]

1. Yes
2. No

21/5/5 on 52% shooting was an off year for D Wade, in spite of the fact he set a career high in FG%. He's an elite scorer and defender who will re-emerge as a top 10 talent this season. He's easily better than some of the players listed in the SI Top 10 list: Melo and Westbrook.

He's buired behind Lebron, thats why people do not take notice. Wade alone is a top 10 player.

how? his jumpshot somehow became mediocore, takes no threes also. cant become top 10 players

The fact that Wade can score so efficiently makes him an elite talent. Add in that he plays great perimeter defense; he leads the league in blocks, season after season, among guards, I believe. If he has another off year, then yeah he may deserve to be placed outside the top 10. Harden is really talented but let's not forget he lead the league in TOs at 3.8, doesn't play defense, and has a bad shot selection at times, shooting 43% from the field. Give him another year and he might be better than Wade.

Wade's def not a top-10 player anymore. He's good but this is relative and there are def 10 better talents in the league. Id go as far to venture that Kobe won't be a top-10 overall player to his team either this season.

And Wade has bigger issues to worry about anyway, like the NBA implementing more stringent HGH testing

1. Lebron
2. KD
3. Melo
4. Paul
5. Westbrook
6. Harden
7. Tony Parker
8. Kyrie Irving
9. Paul George
10. Marc Gasol
11. Jonas Valanciunas

Seriously tho, when accounting for offense AND defense Wade and Kobe won't crack the top-10. They had their time nevertheless.

[giantkiller]

okay. Derrick Rose is not even in your top 10. Obviously your list is F*cked up

Want to see how you plays after that devastating injury. He can be top 3 if in his old shape.

[CEOSports]

Derrick Rose shouldn't be in the top 10 because he did not play!

From Last Season:

1. Lebron
2. KD
3. Paul
4. Melo
5. Parker
6. Tim Duncan
7*. Westbrook
8. Dwight Howard
9. James Harden
10. Dwayne Wade
*Kobe Bryant would be here if he didn't tear the achilles. Everyone else drops down a spot. Sorry Dwayne

That is a cop out lol. Kobe only got injured at the end of the season. He played more than enough games to be put in the list. But i can see why you wouldn't want to lol. Putting him in the list could potentially derail the whole thread lol.

[gold0259]

Lebron
KD
Paul
Kobe
Love
Rose
Harden
Curry
Mello
Duncan

[FortyDaysThree]

Paul George should be in the top ten lists... He is the best defensive wing in the league and is pretty good on offense. He is a defensive anchor.

Except Paul is a better offensive and defensive player than Melo.
Harden is a giant negative on defense, worse than Kobe and Wade in that regard.
Kyrie Irving doesn't belong on this list.
You don't have Dwight Howard. I am assuming your whole list is a joke...

Lebron is better. George may be a little better on ball, but off ball defense for Wings is much more impactful than on ball. Lebron can also guard 4 positions.

[Liamuk]

Unfortunately not, although he can if he steps up his game and shines next to Lebron and not behind him
