RealGM Top 25 Player Poll-#22 2018-19

Filthadelphia · Post #1 » by **Filthadelphia** » Mon Sep 10, 2018 6:59 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 #21: Klay Thompson (GSW)-30%

Hmmm, do I think the guy who put up 16/8/8 for a 20.0 PER as a rookie while ranking 8th out of 99 point guards in DRPM might manage to be a Top 22 player next year? Hmmm. Yeah, I think he can manage it. Vote Simmons.

Nominate Porter for next poll.

Also, major LOLs at Blake getting nominated before Porter, Hayward, Tatum, Love, or Capela.

pootbrah · Post #4 » by **pootbrah** » Mon Sep 10, 2018 7:18 am

No way simmons should go before Mitchell, what Mitchell did lest season was more impressive

SlowPaced · Post #7 » by **SlowPaced** » Mon Sep 10, 2018 7:35 am

Voted John Wall.

The past season clearly damaged his reputation but he did battle injuries throughout. He looked like his former self in the Playoffs.

Surprised Simmons is still here.

Nominate Hayward

brackdan70 · Post #9 » by **brackdan70** » Mon Sep 10, 2018 11:40 am

Seems time to nominate Tatum. Could vote for lots of guys here. I personally think Horford but Wall Simmons Mitchell are all deserving.

Alonzo_Morning · Post #10 » by **Alonzo_Morning** » Mon Sep 10, 2018 11:54 am

Voted Jrue with tons of bias

Pretty moot at this stage with only 4 players to go

Atmanne · Post #12 » by **Atmanne** » Mon Sep 10, 2018 12:41 pm

Yikes, Aldridge getting no love.

Nominating Hayward

ElectricMayhem · Post #13 » by **ElectricMayhem** » Mon Sep 10, 2018 12:54 pm

Blake's not the Piston I would've chosen, but as mentioned above, if we are topping out at 25 then nominations don't really matter anymore.

In either case, I've been vascillating between Simmons and Horford, but I think I'll go with Simmons this time.

Nominate Drummond if we're continuing beyond 25.

HoopsterJones · Post #14 » by **HoopsterJones** » Mon Sep 10, 2018 1:44 pm

Add Love

You never know with how some fans vote.

sasquatchBob · Post #16 » by **sasquatchBob** » Mon Sep 10, 2018 1:47 pm

Why is Porzingis still not listed even as an option? To be honest he would be in my top 20.

rumdiary · Post #17 » by **rumdiary** » Mon Sep 10, 2018 1:50 pm

Nominating Jaylen Brown

Spoiler:
