This is the biggest transition period as the 10's stars really decline now.

You didn't put KD in this list. And you probably aren't even wrong.

LeBron is probably out of the top 20 as well.


I will say the league is really deep with all-stars though. I don't think I've ever seen this many all-star level guys.

Ja Morant is an all-star level guy who plays both ends well, and I don't even blame you for forgetting about him.

KD is not bad for an all-star. Clearly isn't all-NBA material though.


Kawhi being so injured is a huge missed opportunity for him. He would be crushing guys like Luka, Booker and Shai in the postseason due to his experience and still being legitimately late prime at 30-33. Much like LeBron at those ages, beating up on Curry and Tatum.

absolute shit list.

Morant didn't meet the minimum games.

I think this will be the first year I have Lebron out of the top 10.

Where's Brunson?

[Axe]

Lamelo doing a lot for a lottery team.

[tontoz]

OP just had to put Lebron on the list :facepalm

KD has been elite, certainly top 10. Brunson and Lamelo have been far better than Lebron.

[Carbine]

Lamelo belongs nowhere near top 5.

He's gunning, shot jacking with negative defensive value on a 6-14 team. Stop looking at PPG as the barometer for value folks.
