    +1. He's not better than Tony Parker, Marc Gasol, or Aldridge. It's absurd how overrated he is.

    Kinda surprised that first round exit and the media hate fest for Harden and Howard didn't push them out of the top 10.

    Is curry really a top 10 player? He can stroke it and make accurate passes but in a tailor made gs offense , his team never comes off as dangerous. 1 dimensional as well, more so than harden. Overrated cuz he's a smooth player, not top 10 impact.

    Noah's rank seems odd to me as it seems they (Chicago FO) went out of their way to dilute Noah's offensive role

    Kinda surprised that Harden dropped so low, I think he'll be higher next year.

    That defensive reputation did a lot of damage lol.

    Obviously because he went to the Cavs. He was 11 last year I believe, so maybe it's not a stretch but I don't believe he's top 8 if with the Wolves.

    10. Dwight Howard(7)
    9. James Harden(4)

    Guessing the top 3 stays the same.

    3. Chris Paul(3)
    2. Kevin Durant(2)
    1. LeBron James(1)

    Leaving you (4-8) with Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook, Blake Griffin, Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis.

    I'm guessing they'll put the Brow at 4 and Love at 5.

    Wow. Didn't expect him to drop so far.

    These rankings are for how well the player should do this season. LeBron and Kyrie should draw a lot of defensive attention away from Love.
