Re: Ranking teams/best player
The Lakers are last with Mozgov lol. Yeah but Drummonds our best player but he's not a #1 option player so I agree with that.

Re: Ranking teams/best player
Al Horford is the 8th best best player? That's ridiculous, and I like Al.
Durant isn't better than Curry, either.

Re: Ranking teams/best player
Lol at the shade at Curry, he's the reigning MVP and has a ring. He's their best player even with Durant.
But Drummond as our best player makes sense, even though he'll never be our #1 option...and for good reason since he's not very good offensively.

Re: Ranking teams/best player
I hope Curry plays angry this year. He was hurt, and leauge suspend Green for nothing. He is easily the best player for two years.
Sorry for my poor english

Re: Ranking teams/best player
I don't understand. Do we not think Drummond is a top 15 player in the league? Top 20?
He's better than many of those players ahead of him.

Drummond is without question the Pistons best player and he is climbing his way up the ladder in terms of top lists in the league.Alexander wrote:I don't understand. Do we not think Drummond is a top 15 player in the league? Top 20?

I think if Andre hit at least 50% of his free throws his rank would be inside of top ten.
You dont anchor a team with Harris, or Jackson, you anchor it with big Andre. pay no mind to this whatsoever.

Re: Ranking teams/best player
If a player with as limited a game as Andre was 'without question' the best player on his team, that team wouldn't get very far.
