    1. Lebron
    2. Durant
    3. CP3
    4/5. Harden or Westbrook.

    At least I think those are the players left.

    LeBron
    Durant
    CP3
    DRose
    Harden


    you can say DRose isnt bc hes still yet to prove he can come back.. but westbrook isnt better than him

    and DWade isnt on that list anymore. One can argue for Carmelo instead of DRose, but eh, does he make his teammates better? Than can be said for each of those top5 players.

    Not really. Golden State is one of the most analytics driven teams around the league. And he is encouraged to shoot as much as he wants.

    Rose was already ranked #9. I've said it once before... Harden will be 3 or 4. Westbrook's injury will be factored in.

    B-b-but I thought Curry was mostly shooting inefficient long 2-pointers.

    Yeah, if I was a team with a high lottery pick, I'd offer OKC 20 million to have Presti pick a player for them.

    I would have put Rose ahead of Harden.

    How come Kobe was bumped all the way to 26 due to injury but Westbrook is still top 5?

    Eh, I may not agree with that top 5, but how crazy is it to think that the Thunder could have easily had 3 of the top 5 players in the NBA?

    Sam Presti, lmao. I'm sure he regrets that trade so much.

    My Top 10 based on this upcoming season would be:

    LeBron
    Durant
    CP3
    Rose
    Howard
    Melo (he's gotten very underrated nowadays, he's still a beast)
    Harden
    Westbrook
    Irving
    Curry
    Love - or perhaps Duncan, but I'm gonna go with Love. He was clearly the best PF when healthy 2 years ago.

    Curry can thank his weak ankles for the #6 spot

    I am looking at Tony Parker's rank and I am furious. This ranking is a joke.

    he is a top 5 offensive player

    probably ranked 100 or so on defense

    so being aggressive, i would put him as a top 40 player when you include all aspects of his game

    And with all that he still shot 45% from the field and 45% from 3.

    You're crazy if you think Morey wouldn't take Curry on this team.

    This is how analytics and Curry come together

    Shoot 3's any time you want, no really, shoot them whenever you want

    But don't shoot anything else
