Unofficial RealGM Top 26-??? Poll-#26 2019-20

[Sofia]

Remove KD Klay

[KqWIN]

If we're being consistent, the people who voted Paul and Lowry should probably be voting Conley or Vucevic here. But then again, Doncic and Simmons went just before them so...

[Richard4444]

Yeah! Pirate poll!!

Nominate: Trae Young

[50CalClips]

Another recommendation:
Drop the BOTTOM-VOTED players from the Next Poll to make room for "better" Candidates. If a Player is among the bottom 3, or bottom 5 vote-getters for the past three or four Polls, it probably means that they were listed TOO EARLY, and there might be other more deserving Candidates. Bring them back 3 Polls later...

Honestly it’s pretty hard to find nominees with any interest. I wanted to take Durant off since so many people have made mention of it, but it was really a struggle to find 2 nominees. I read through both of the last 2 threads and the only player who got more than 1 nomination in either thread was Porzingis so I just added Fox since he was the one that I would have been most likely to nominate myself of the people with one vote. I really doubt that Drummond would get more than a vote or two if he was an option.

Maybe continuing this beyond the usual top 25 isn’t worthwhile.

I was late to the RealGM Poll party... I just started voting.

I like the idea and appreciate the effort. It'd be cool to see the Poll continue till Top 50 or Top 100, for those interested.

Would've like to have see the Polls split between Western Conf and Eastern Conf... and then later shuffled together (with more Polls).

I suggest we run polls 2-3 days each

I suggest we run polls 2-3 days each

I’m doing every 2 days. Even that seems a little long on polls like this that aren’t super close. I’ll probably start the poll for #27 early.

I'm excited for this season because I'm sure between 5-7 that made the list will be replaced next season. I could see all of Paul, Lowry, Holiday, Walker, Griffin, Siakam and Simmons getting bumped off due to flagging play or other players making big improvements, as opposed to injury.

[scrabbarista]

Voted Vucevic.

I think we can safely take DeMarcus Cousins off of the bottom list.

I nominate DE'AARON FOX.

Let’s try to keep this project going. I don’t know how many more polls I’ll put up, but I think we can definitely do more than we have so far. Maybe get to 40?

To start with, I’ll do everyone a big favor and take Durant out of the poll since there have been so many requests for that. If people want to re-nominate him they’re welcome too though. Here are the players who have been voted in so far:

Here's the list from last year:
https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1746971

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

Doooppeee thanks G
