    The back court better be #1 when your forwards are Gordon and Tucker.

    Surprised with how low Conley/Mitchell were. That's the best two-way backcourt in the league imo.

    Bev and PG? Shouldn’t it be Kawhi and PG?

    I came in this thread ready to fight someone if two MVPs in their primes weren't #1.

    Would it still be #1 with healthy Klay?

    It's not about the length but the motion in the ocean.... But is this the first time time a starting back court is taller than the starting 3/4 combo? Westbrook is closer to 6'5 in actual height while Tucker is barely 6'4..

    No they would have ranked it #2.

    Do I think Hou should be #1 with a healthy Klay and Curry and Russell? Let’s see how Harden, Westbrook, Gordon and Rivers play together first.

    That is a great question. My guess is yes. We really need to get a legitimate swing 3/4... we haven’t addressed it since Ariza left.

    Let’s see how Westbrook fits in first.

    The upside for the Rockets is far higher and I prefer Gordon and Rivers to Russell as well.

    The Rockets likely have an all time great backcourt.

    He can definitely play. With the lessened load on offense we'll see him bring out the clamps this year.

    List isn't good.

    Conley/Mitchell should be top 5.
    Philly and NO's backcourts shouldn't be in the top 5.
    Oladipo and Brogdon should be higher.

    I'd bump the Hawks several places. Trae Young is the truth.

    Kings should go up, Suns should go down significantly. Booker is so overrated.

    Not sure about Curry/Russell at #2. Really curious to see what Russell looks like in glamor land.
