    With no LeBron, Durant, Cp3, ect. Who do you think is the best player playing is? I think Harden makes a legitment case as he will most likely be the leading scorer.

    Anthony Davis.

    Though I'm not sure if international rules are more lenient towards guards (like the NBA) or big men.

    Probably Harden. Rose and Davis are still relatively unproven.

    Injury-adjusted is Rose. He was once MVP of the league. Until he fully recovers on a PER basis, it's Davis, although PER tends to favor big men and PGs and undervalues wings.

    This. He's going to be a monster with Asik doing the dirty work. Worst case scenario Davis finishes as a top 5 player next season. I think he'll put around 24/12/3.5 blocks per game.

    healthy rose.

    but i think harden will lead the perimeter players in minutes played. anthony davis might be the most important because he is the only real rim protector.

    Rose, Curry, or Harden. Hard to say which one. Davis is a beast, but he's not there yet for me.

    Right now? Harden. In a year or two it might be Davis, we'll see.

    Two years ago it would have been Rose.

    I was legitimately tempted to go Rose with all I'm hearing out of camp - but I think his lack of zone-busting skill gives the slight nod to Harden.

    Davis is the most important player though - he doesn't play well, USA has no chance with how lacking their frontcourt depth is.

    but a healthy Rose is better than Harden
