LeBron James
Blake Griffin
Stephen Curry
Russell Westbrook
Kevin Durant
James Harden
Anthony Davis
Chris Paul
DeMarcus Cousins
Kawhi Leonard

Close but out,

Carmelo Anthony
Paul George
LaMarcus Aldridge
John Wall
Kyrie Irving
Marc Gasol
Paul Millsap
Kevin Love
Dwight Howard
Damian Lillard

So that will be my top20 I guess, following,

Chris Bosh
Jimmy Butler
Al Horford
Mike Conley
Kyle Lowry
Klay Thompson
Draymond Green
Rudy Gobert
Jeff Teague
DeAndre Jordan

More or less, although it becomes more crowded and difficult to rate, Bledsoe will be right after.

Blake is insanely underrated.

I don't underestimate a guy who can rebound like he does. He is putting up historical numbers. And just having that size is huge. Other parts of his game are not great, and he needs to improve his fg and ft%, and become a better passer, but I think his impact is enormous.

his impact is indeed big, but he is not a top10 player, borderline top30 for me.
he is not even above average defensively.

In approximate order, placing more weight on the present than past:

Steph
LeBron
Davis
Durant
Westbrook
Harden
Leonard
Cousins

I think those 8 guys have a little bit of breathing room between them and the rest of the field. Then maybe a group of (in no particular order) Griffin/George/Wall/Millsap/Lillard/Bledsoe*/Marc etc.

*Though he is the least established, his current play suggests his status as borderline elite.

I think Butler read this thread. He's not on anyone's list.
