Kinda surprised that first round exit and the media hate fest for Harden and Howard didn't push them out of the top 10.
ESPN 2014 Player Rankings: 11-15 11 Carmelo Anthony New York Knicks SF | Age: 30 | 2013 rank: #15 8.58 12 Joakim Noah Chicago Bulls C | Age: 29 | 2013 rank: #23 8.42 13 LaMarcus Aldridge Portland Trail Blazers PF | Age: 29 2013 rank: #17 8.35 14 Marc Gasol Memphis Grizzlies C | Age: 29 | 2013 rank: #10 8.19 15 Tony Parker San Antonio Spurs PG | Age: 32 | 2013 rank: #12 8.18
who are the players that are left? Lebron Durant Paul Griffin Curry Westbrook Harden Howard Love George after the first four, not sure who falls where
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
Last season's top ten for reference 1 LeBron James 2 Kevin Durant 3 Chris Paul 4 James Harden 5 Russell Westbrook 6 Stephen Curry 7 Dwight Howard 8 Kyrie Irving 9 Derrick Rose 10 Marc Gasol
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.
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.
