    I think:
    1. LeBron (don't think he will decline too much at 33 but hard to say. He may not be so dominant anymore.)
    2. CP3 (His PG skills shouldn't really diminish at all at 32 considering how he plays)
    3. Durant (He should continue to improve)
    4. Howard (He'll be in his prime, hopefully he can get over his injuries)
    5. Harden (I'm slightly biased towards the Rockets though haha)

    Predictably boring picks:
    Durant <--Needs to stay healthy
    Lebron <--Needs to stay healthy

    Somewhat predictable:
    Griffin <--Needs to call Hakeem

    WTF am I thinking:
    Cousins <--Needs to mature, he could easily be the best offensive center
    Rubio <--Jason Kidd 2.0

    Top 5

    1. Kevin Durant
    2. LeBron James
    3. Kyrie Irving
    4. James Harden
    5. Anthony Davis

    Honorable Mentions - Paul George, Andre Drummond, Chris Paul, DeMarcus Cousins.

    However, when you factor in Wiggins, its probably a lot different.
