RealGM Top 25 Player Poll-#18 2018-19 

Post#1 » by Filthadelphia » Thu Sep 6, 2018 2:33 am

We have debates all the time in various threads over who is better so I thought what better time than summer to see where the General Board lies in its view of the top 25 best players.

I'll update each new poll with the rankings of the last and the percentages of who won.
There's only 10 options per poll so new options will be added as we get lower and lower.

Lets come to a consensus. Feel free to comment who you voted for and why.

If you think someone else should be in the poll who is not there please comment and i'll adjust accordingly.

I would appreciate it if you can state clearly the procedure.

We vote daily(?) the best player among those who are remaining (and in the poll)?
And after each day, you remove said best voted player, list him as the next best player on our bestlist and start a new poll with the remaining players?

From your players I would replace Irving with Embiid

These are the procedures, yes. Every winner will be removed and then a new entrant will be included on the next poll.

Winner of Poll #17: Draymond Green (GSW)-31%

Donovan Mitchell next

Simmons getting lots of votes makes this the obvious decision.
In '03-'04, Jerry Sloan coached the ESPN predicted "worst team of all time" to 42-40.

I guess I'm the huge outlier in struggling with this slot. I really like what Hortford brings to the table. I think he's underrated. I don't know if I'd rate him over any of the other vote getters.

Even though I voted for Towns, I think its time Kyle Lowry started getting some love. His stats and metrics the last 5 seasons speak for themselves.

With the way Casual Fans think of him, Lowry has undoubtedly become one of the most underrated players in the game today.

New York said Mitchell wasn't the guy you trade the sink for, then they traded it for Mikal, lol.

I go with Klay, not a big fan of Towns. Klay‘s shooting is way to good and he is a solid defender too. I would go with George but his last season was a bit disappointing

I went with John Wall. Add Drummond next.
Tom Gores' Securus faced a class action lawsuit in 2024. The company engaged in a "quid pro quo kickback scheme" with county jails in Michigan which banned in-person visits in order to maximize revenue from voice and video calls.
