Placing top players into "tiers."

[Duggrr]

If you were to place the, say, 30-35 players in the NBA into the tiers below, how would you do so?

1. Best of the Best
Bron, KD

2. Elite Players
CP3, Aldridge, Griffin, Curry, Howard, Melo(yes.)

3. Very good, all-star level players
Lillard, Wall, Kevin Love, Dragic, Noah, Gasol, Westbrook, Paul George, Wade, Al Jefferson, Harden, Raptors backcourt, A. Davis, Dirk, Tony Parker

4. Almost all-star level
J. Teague, Deron Williams, Irving, Bledsoe, Joe Johnson, Bosh, Millsap, Duncan, Zach Randolph, Ellis

[Fudge]

I'd have Westbrook and Davis in the elite category, personally.

[Black and White]

Westbrook is elite, also one of the Spurs players deserves to be elite.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Are those in order for you? ie, 1 - Bron, 2 - Durant, 3 -CP3, and so on?

Lowry deserves 3, but I'd put Derozan in 4 for now. Other than that, legit list.

[SCdac]

Tempted to take Duncan over some of those #3 players, if it wasn't for age. But he's still got it. And defensively he's excellent

[Duggrr]

Or those in order for you? ie, 1 - Bron, 2 - Durant, 3 -CP3, and so on?
Lists aren't in order, except for Bron and KD.

[Brizzly]

You just put Duncan s in the same tier as Deron, Teague and ****ing Joe Johnson.

Duncan still > Dirk.

[atljonesbro]

Where do yall think a healthy Al Horford ranks? Really close to a 20/10 big and a very good defender.

Easily 3.

not really a fan of duncan but he deserves to be higher than that

Also Bosh should be higher and Wade is easily in the 2nd tier when he's healthy

[Trentknicks]

Where do yall think a healthy Al Horford ranks? Really close to a 20/10 big and a very good defender.
He's okay most times and solid at best.

[ABfor3]

Duncan should be in 3, still a consistent player

[Graviton]

Durant has no business being anywhere close to Lebron, he is just a more jumper focused Melo. Both are totally useless when not scoring efficiently.

Lebron is the only true SUPERSTAR in the league and has more impact than the media hyped chuckers. Lebron should be on top, then the elite big men like Howard/Griffin/Aldridge/Davis below. You can have CP3 in there too since he impacts the game multiple ways. Only after all that can you start talking about one-dimensional chuckers like Durant/Melo/Harden/Curry/Westbrook. Though Russ at least does other things to make up for it.

[no pun intended]

Holographic

James, Durant

Rare

Griffin, CP3, Aldridge, Curry, Anthony

Common

Everybody else.

[LoneyROY7]

The Flyin' Lion is gunnin' is for that top spot! :rockon:

[andremiller07]

Cousins is in the 3rd bracket he's better than Jefferson and Z-Bo as a all round player

No one just plays in the East and the other has elite defenders and couldn't do shit while Marc Gasol was out.

[JohnFreeman]

Way Durant has been playing, he is not top tier

[Manila]

how about pre injury kobe and rose?

[MJ(Mean John)]

I just think they're both better. Until DMC can show me that he can be effective and elevate the team of his play, I'll say he's better. He needs to get his head on straight.

He's more effective than Z-Bo easily and shots 1% less than Jefferson while averaging double the free throws and the team was 0-12 when he didn't play. I agree he's an idiot but he's better to me, replace Cousins with Z-Bo and Memphis is unreal and Sacramento is the same pretty much.
