Player Rankings 2018-19

[Rico2016]

I just think Curry elevates your offense so much that there are only a few guys (the ones who are elite on both ends) that I can take over him.

I think it's more about that than it is about fit or marketability. Remember that the Warriors won 73 games with Steph as the clear top guy. He's brings the potential for being an elite team if you have him, even without another Superstar in the mix.

I'm not a huge LeBron fan, I love watching him and I think he's one of the four greatest players ever, but he bugs me with how he acts off the court and behind the scenes.

I agree that Steph can really maximize offensive potential but at the same time he has a lot of perfect pieces around him.

-Iggy off the bench
-DPOY Dray (Elite defender and elite 3&D guy)
-Klay (Elite shooter and 3&D guy)
-Barnes/Barbosa/Bogut (The three Bs depth)

He has played in good situations for him, but those other guys haven't looked nearly as good without him either right before or since.

Without seeing prime Steph in a different situation, I think it's hard to say what he'd be.

where tf is DeRozan

Not close to that list, because he's not that good at all lol

Here's my shooting guards rankings.

How would you rank these guys?

1) Harden
--------------
2) Beal
3) Mitchell
4) Klay
--------------
5) Oladipo
6) DeRozan
7) McCollum
8) Booker

And would anyone else crack your top eight?

This list is inconsistent with your OP.

D-Lo over Kemba is straight comedy.

[NuggetsFan]

Jokic needs to be higher this season. He's leading his team in PPG, APG, RPG, SPG as a C. How many players in the league can say that this season? His defense is much improved this year as well. Nuggets weren't even a playoff lock this season yet are currently the 2nd seed and he's playing with no other All-Stars. 12 triple doubles which we haven't seen at C since Wilt Chamberlain, and probably another 20 games where he was 1-2 assists/rebounds shy.

Someone like George is overrated. He's playing with Westbrook which takes defensive attention away from him. OKC has been a disappointment this season.

D-Lo over Kemba is straight comedy.

How there numbers are similar except D'lo is a much better passer and his team is in the playoffs unlike Kemba

[Xiao Yao You]

That's a good case for him. I don't dive real deep into the numbers on everyone until after the regular season, I could see him moving up for sure based on that case.

I disagree with the impact of his defense though, in this NBA offense is more valuable, even though center is the most important defensive position and one of the least important offensive positions.

I had him #12 in 2017 and #13 in 2018, would you consider those fair rankings?

no. did you have Hayward ahead of him?

[Xiao Yao You]

No he's just really efficient because all of his points come from dunks

He's a awful free throw shooter and can't create his own offense like a Jokic or an Embiid

dunks are the most efficient shot in the game. He gets penalized for him having the most effective shot in the game? Their whole offense revolves around him. He allows others to create. Results are all that matter and they speak for themselves. Jazz have sucked for more than 4 years without him
