Chris Bosh will be a top 10 player this year

[Paul George 24]

He won't even be top 20 tbh

Neither wade or bosh were top 20 the last 2 years and I dont see any reason for that to change

because Leflop made them being a worse player,it's all Leflop's fault,he is not a leader of the heat,wade is

[Paul George 24]

I don't know if you remember Bosh in Toronto but he didn't exactly carry that team to great heights as a number one option.

he was avg 24ppg,12 rpg,1 blks,which is better than blake griffin with better defence

[JT123]

I don't see why he can't do what LMA does.
Bosh could very well go out there next year and be Black Dirk. Hell actually have plays run for him!

Black Dirk my ass. You clearly haven't watched many Heat games over the last few years. Aldridge can back people down in the post, or shoot from the perimeter. Bosh has already gone on record saying that he doesn't like contact, and won't be going back to his Toronto play style.
As for having plays run for him, all I know is that as someone who rooted for the Heat the last 4 years every time he would isolate I would cringe, as I knew something bad was about to happen.

You've clearly never seen a second of Bosh play

Thats 26 players right there i would take over current Bosh...... give me those 16-17 players you think he will be better than?

Pauk slaying the OP! Totally agree with this entire list with the exception of Kobe, as I think he is done.

Ibaka

If Kobe is healthy next year i think he most definitely aint done, he might not win MVP, he might not win a championship, but i think he sure is capable of doing his 24+ ppg shooting/scoring thing.

[JT123]

Ibaka is just as good of a mid range shooter as Bosh, and is a much better rebounder and rim protector.

[pauk]

He is a younger/healthier player who I think might be the best interior defender in the NBA (that alone could maybe be enough to consider him over Bosh), always a DPOY candidate, then he is also a greater rebounder than Bosh and offensively he aint to shabby either, last season he scored essentially just about the same....

Bosh averaged 16.2 ppg on 12.1 FGA
Ibaka averaged 15.1 ppg on 12.1 FGA

I think Bosh's scoring ability is marginally better at this point, but i dont think you lose much scoring by taking Ibaka and you gain so much more of other things aswell.

Why not? He'll have the stats, and we know he's clutch too, so he'll have his moments to justify the "top 10 player" title. He's a super skilled player with length and athleticism who has vastly improved his defense. He's a much better help defender and rim protector than he was in Toronto.

He may have the stats. And he strikes me as an exceedingly soft player. I hope I'm wrong. That being said, the following players are 100% ahead of Bosh. I honestly can't even fathom arguments for Bosh being better...

Lebron
Durant
Paul
Westbrook
Howard
Love
Griffin
Davis
Melo

That's 9 players. Most people would add Curry, making it 10. I would add Cousins, but he's not "100% above".
But just for giggles, the following players are most likely ranked ahead of Bosh...

Dirk
Curry
Cousins
Harden
Wall
Parker

Now we have the questionable tier. Those that could be better, but it's unclear at this point.

Rose
Aldridge
Kobe
Stephenson
Ibaka
Noah
Jefferson

Anyway, as you can see, the top 10 is incredibly difficult to crack. Bosh would have to put up some pretty crazy numbers, IMO. As I said.. it can happen, but I'm not expecting it.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Hes been a top 10 talent since 2010

2 games without Bron ballhogging and dominating the ball. Forcing Bosh to the 3pters where he cant get boards

he outplayed LMA and Joakim on BOTH ends

he isnt a much better rebounder at all. Bosh is a much better passer, can create offense unlike Ibaka whos assisted on 83% of his FGs. He cant do anything w/o KD or Russ creating for him. Bosh can handle the rock, drive to the basket, make plays for others, defend pickandroll, way better switches and rotations and his man D is even better
