C'mon @J.R., you're slippin'! 30. DeMar DeRozan 29. Isaiah Thomas 28. Kevin Love 27. Mike Conley 26. C.J. McCollum 25. Paul Millsap 24. DeAndre Jordan 23. LaMarcus Aldridge 22. Al Horford 21. Jimmy Buter http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/page/nbarank21/nbarank-21-chicago-bulls-guard-jimmy-butler @samtaylor decent job on your 21-30.
King of the North too low. Sap too low. Isiah Thomas too high. Al Horford is not a better player than Sap
Are they factoring in this year's performance? I hope they do, otherwise Harden is going to be ranked too low. Anything below top 7 is unacceptable.
Samtaylor, If we are going based on current production Harden is either 1B or number 2.Also no sane person would have Klay ahead of Griffin, Karl Anthony Towns or even Butler based on current output.
Butler is out of the top 20 because of his character. And what I mean by that is that since his breakout every season since, including this one his defence which was his calling card has become worse and worse. He wants to be the man and even the pointguard. What it leads is to an iso offence that freezes out every other player and destroys team play.
Interesting to note that right now 3 of the top 20 players in Espn's list have a grand total record of 3-18. 3 of the 4 teams with the worst record right now have a top 20 player. AD: 0-8 KAT 1-5 and Wall 1-5. So having a top 20 player gives you at best one more win than Philly has. lol
20. Andre Drummond 19. Giannis Antetokounmpo 18. Kyle Lowry 17. John Wall 16. Klay Thompson 15. Kyrie Irving 14. Draymond Green 13. DeMarcus Cousins 12. Blake Griffin 11. Karl-Anthony Towns
Kyrie Irving and Draymond Green are overrated. I'm sick of talking about my hate for Kryie, but he is the most empty stat player the game has seen. He plays with Lebron, and Lebron can cure anything, even a Kryie.
Cousins or Griffin come to the Rockets. Harden and either of you guys would be top 5 players for a few years.
Also I'm going to guess Harden is at #6 if they are not taking this season into account. (which apparently is not good enough for all nba team 3)
10. Damian Lillard 9. Paul George 8. James Harden 7. Chris Paul 6. Anthony Davis They clearly did not take this season into account haha. Definitely should be top 5 this season.
Meh, not clear to me Harden should be above AD or CP3 Anthony Davis- 30.9ppg, 11.5 reb, 3 blcks, 2.1 stls, +17 NetRtg in 37.5 mpg Chris Paul- 19.3ppg, 8.4 apg, 3 stls, 1.8 tov, +45 NetRtg in 29 mpg Jamas Harden- 30.6ppg, 13 apg, 1.3 stls, 5.6 tov, +15 NetRtg in 38.1 mpg Clippers are 7-1, #1 in West and CP3 is their best player
these rankings aren't based on the season performance right? more like preseason rankings? harden should be ahead of cp3 easily. the disrespect continues. harden is a top 5 player in the league right now.
