How would you currently rank the top 10 players in the league? 

Post#1 » by bwgood77 » Wed Nov 11, 2015 2:56 pm

I'll take a stab at it first. Now if you just consider offense, Curry would obviously right now be #1, but considering both sides of the ball.

1. Lebron James
2. Stephen Curry
3. Russell Westbrook
4. Kevin Durant
5. Anthony Davis
6. James Harden
7. Paul George
8. Blake Griffin
9. Andre Drummond
10. DeMarcus Cousins

Chris Paul would have made the list for me but he seems to have really dropped off. I may have forgotten someone or may have not considered something so this might change. I started with Davis at third but dropped him. Drummond is probably making more of an impact right now.

1. Stephen Curry (not a bad defender, not great either)
2. Lebron James
3. Russell Westbrook
4. James Harden
5-t. Kevin Durant
5-t. Anthony Davis (really slow start for him, he'll be in top 3 at the end of season though)
6. Andre Drummond
7. Paul George
8. Blake Griffin
9. John Wall
10. Carmelo Anthony

Leonard should be on this list. He's playing better than Wall right now for sure.

I thought about Leonard. He's definitely a consideration.

Cousins is talented enough to be on this list but he just doesn't get it. Top 10 talent with the worst attitude ever.

For sure. Meyers has been killing it for the Blazers.

Seriously though some pretty good rankings here....looks like CP3 could be out of the top 10 for the first time in a long time. I'm still backing him to bounce back though and be a top 10 player by the end of the season.....for how much longer after that though I'm not sure, probably not long.

I still have LBJ over Curry though, defensively he is some way ahead of Curry and seems to be focusing on that end a bit more and his broken jumper aside is as effective as ever on offense, once his jumper comes back then it's more clear cut although again - same as CP3 - for how much longer I'm not sure. The gap is closing every year.

Nice list but I would change Paul George for Archie Goodwin.

Not a bad list, but I think Curry might be better than Curry.
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

I just got done creating a player on NBA 2K16 that has all stats at 99 and he would still only be #3 on this list.

I was thinking about this the other night. (this ranking is for this season, at this point)

1. Stephen Curry
2. Blake Griffin
3. Russell Westbrook
4. Kevin Durant
5. LeBron James
6. DeMarcus Cousins
7. Eric Bledsoe (yessiree)
8. Andre Drummond (20 and 20. i'm not certain he doesn't belong at the top of this list)
9. Kawhi Leonard
10. Paul George

honorable mentions: Lillard, Monroe, Lowry, Davis, Bosh

did factor in current team record and Usg%

1 - Curry
2 - LeBron
3 - Durant
4 - Westbrook
5 - Harden
6 - Davis
7 - Kawhi
8 - George
9 - Blake
10 - Cousins

I can't put Drummond in there yet...but he and Lillard are close, just ahead of Wall/Melo/Bledsoe/CP3/Horford/Millsap/Lowry...

This has me wanting to do an NBA Draft with salaries etc!
