RealGM Top 25 Player Poll-#21 2019-20
Your favorite offseason debate is back by popular demand!
Thanks to everyone who voted last go around Im excited to see where the 2nd annual edition ends up.
Here's the Rules:
-Vote ONE player per poll. You'll be able to change your vote just like last year for those indecisive folks.
-The criteria of ranking the players is YOUR OWN. The whole point of bringing this to the GB is to attract the widest amount of votes/perspectives on the game as possible to form a true consensus. Some people value shooting over defense, team success over indivdual prowess etc. I want to bake all that in to this poll set no matter how chaotic.
-Each poll a player will win and then be taken out of the field. There will be 25 polls in all.
-There are only 10 possible poll options so I will start with the 10 guys who I personally believe will round out the top 10 in most people's eyes.
-As each poll commences I ask you to COMMENT IN THE THREAD your vote for who should be added in the next poll. There will be a large list of players yet to be added to the field below that you can look over to make your vote. I will tally up the votes in the comments at the end of each poll and add the winner accordingly. For example, if you want Marc Gasol added in the next poll just comment "Marc Gasol" or "Gasol".
-If a poll is overwhelmingly skewed towards one guy I will try, time willing, to edit it early and move on to the next one.
-If there is a tie in the poll. There will be a run-off poll created with just the tying parties to determine a winner. The losers of the runoff will then be added back into the field of 10 for the next poll.
-Feel free to ask any questions via pm or comment
-Feel Free to comment on your reasoning for a pick and why

Which bothers me because he's better than everyone up there other than KD, Oladipo and probably Holiday. After watching Klay play great in the playoffs, play solid defense against Kawhi, it's inexplicable disrespect for him to be left off so far.

CP3 has been majorly disrespected in recent years. From '15-'16 on, he's finished 3rd, 2nd, 1st, and 12th in RPM. He's shown decline, but I'm pretty confident that he's still a top-20 player.
Also, something that might surprise people. I think when it comes to athleticism, agility, physical attributes and skill I rate LeBron only in the top 50.

I think that’s fair. They’d all have been selected by now if they were healthy IMO.

I think OP messed up on this one. The selection standard for KD and Klay are totally different.
Klay - due to his large unavailability in the 19-20 season, he has to start and go through the nomination process (which he has no chance of breaking out due to his unavailability).
KD - despite of his *total* unavailability, he occupies a spot in top 10 from poll #1 and it stays that way.
I understand KD is a sure fire top 10 when healthy but still it doesn't justify the different treatment of these two players. It looks like OP started the poll with a "when healthy" top 10 list, and treat the rest of the players on a "19-20 season only" basis, then he decided to stick with this mistake till the end.
RealGM loves you, Melissa.
