Kobe
George

should all be top 10 players if they're coming back 100%. Kobe most likely top 5.

Paul George will happen 100%

Carmelo is a top 10 player but its difficult when you're playing for a horseshit team.

The rest, no..

Paul George - hopefully/probably
Dairy Crows - zero chance
Kobe Bryant - he already is
Dwyane Wade - he already is
Dirk Nowitzki - will prolly follow the tim duncan example as opposed to trying to carry the team every night
Rajon Rondo - was never top 10 or even top 20
Dwight Howard - no
Karl-Melone Anthony - even if he is, it means nothing on these knicks
Manu Ginobili - too old, could have a good year tho
Tony Parker - was never a top 10 player at his position, much less the league. this hack should be waving towels behind Stephon Marbury on the Beijing Ducks
Joakim Noah - was never top 10, but his health and production should improve
Deron Williams - zero chance unless Sloan comes out of retirement

Joakim Noah is criminally underrated. After his injury plagued season in 2015 people just assume he's just any old player.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/awards/awards_2014.html

Defensive Player of the Year
4th in MVP Voting
8th in WS for players with a MVP vote
Best Passer in Chicago in 2014 (Currently Top 2)
Best Passing Center in forever
Basically carried the Bulls to the Playoffs

He easily was Top 10 Player during the 2013-14 season.

George obviously has a chance because he's young and if his injury is fine, he could still be special.

Wade will be there if he's healthy.

Howard is already borderline in top 10 in terms of impact. Dude gets seriously underrated.

Melo can still ball.

Noah has a shot to still impact the game.

Rest are old and done.

Paul George He is definitely top 10 or so if he returns to forum
Derrick Rose He'd have to improve a lot from what he's shown lately but he's still young and athletic so he is capable.
Kobe Bryant No, he's done.
Dwyane Wade Doubt it, but he is still top 20 for sure, arguably top 15
Dirk Nowitzki No, he's too old
Rajon Rondo Was never top 10. At this point not even top 100.
Dwight HowardIf healthy I think he has a good chance
Carmelo Anthony arguably top 10 still as is
Manu Gin
