    Default Rank these players from 1-3 RIGHT NOW

    - Curry
    - Jokic
    - SGA

    Pretend that you are a GM and your goal is to win a championship this season. Assume you were guaranteed that all three of them would remain perfectly healthy for the remainder of the year.

    You're simply judging them on how good they are RIGHT NOW and whether or not they put you in a position to win.

    What is the order you would draft those guys.

    Isn't Curry hurt? Even if he wasnt Jokic is like twice as good as old Curry and SGA.

    There's nothing in OP speaking to roster construction, but given equal talent I think Jokic is quite comfortably the best floor raiser/most likely to field a competitive team with average talent around him. Surround him with the talent SGA currently has and/or what Steph was working with during the Warriors peak, and I'd argue it's lights out for the league.

    Jokic
    Curry
    SGA

    Since we have no idea what the rest of the team looks like, Joker first because he is the most talented player in the league at the moment. Curry second, because basically he is a system almost by himself. The defensive attention and gameplanning necessary opens things up for the other players. SGA last because he can probably score the best in the league right now, but, I'm not sure he's making guys around him better or opening things up for teammates as much as the other two based solely on the defensive attention. He also needs the ball to be most effective.

    SGA is a better scorer than Jokic, and he's better on the defensive end.

    SGA is currently missing his 2nd best player and his team is 19-1.

    But when he has the ball he's insanely effective, and he's effective from everywhere on the floor.

    I'm not making a definitive case for SGA or anything like that, I think it's a debate, but how long are we going to ignore the fact that this man is dominating? OKC is not some stacked team. They just have a guy who can close and is an automatic bucket.

    They are absolutely a stacked team By far the most talented/deepest team in the league.

    Lakers are more stacked than OKC.

    I don't know what's worse.

    Calling OKC a "stacked" team or suggesting that Curry isn't on the same tier as Yolk and SGA.

    When Curry is healthy he looks as good as he's ever been. I'm almost convinced he's on something he's been that good. It's like he's stronger and quicker now somehow.
