Lowry is way too low.

Walker before Siakam is a joke.

Its a horrible list imo just wondering if thats how most people thought of these layers

It's from local Boston media. Lowry is better player than Kemba. Lowry doesn't get targeted on defense like Kemba does.

1. Tatum
2. Siakam
3a. Lowry 3b. Walker
4. Brown
5. Fred

Something like that, a lot of the players in the series have the capability to be the best on any given night.

This list looks like its based on who NBC thinks are the best shot makers.

If the list was about who's actually the most impactful basketball player, Kyle Lowry would be ranked higher than VanVleet, Brown, Siakam and probably Walker as well.

#6 in RPM in the NBA and NBC thinks he's #6 player in this series?

Lowry is second.

Lowry is a better player than Siakam.

Why would you take Brown ahead of Van Vleet?

What the hell is this?

The order is:

Kyle Lowry
Jayson Tatum
Pascal Siakam
Kemba Walker

Fred VanVleet
Jaylen Brown
Serge Ibaka
Norman Powell
Marc Gasol
Marcus Smart
OG Anunoby

Not that big of a deal, I think Brown is a better player.

In fairness to whoever made the list, it's mentioned in the article that Lowry's ranking would have been higher if not for his ankle injury which may cause him to miss some of the games.

I'm willing to knock Lowry down a couple of spots because of his injury heading into the series. Siakam has been a bit of a mixed bag so far in the bubble. Walker's been good so far in the playoffs so I'm willing to bump him up a spot from where I would normally rank him. Ibaka and VanVleet have been Toronto's best players so far in the playoffs. I really like Smart, but I have to give OG the edge thanks to OG's ability to hit shots.

Tatum
Walker
Siakam
VanVleet
Ibaka
Lowry
Brown
Powell
OG
Smart
Gasol

The Raptors have better depth but the Celtics have Tatum. If Tatum can reach Kobe level then the Celtics will have a good chance.

Each to their own, he’s a great player.
