    Not most valuable, because that would factor in contracts and age, but simply the 15 best players in the league.

    Hope he doesn't prove me wrong. :D

    chris bosh is a top 15 player. he's better than joe johnson/derrick rose right now. rose might be better next year though with his development.

    I meant to put Brandon Roy on my list.

    Guess I would take out Rose or Pierce.

    I can't believe how many of you are including derrick rose, there is no way he is a top 15 player, he is not a top 5 pg

    I wouldn't of included him if he hadn't played so well in these playoffs. Despite the Bulls being heavily outmatched by the Cavs, he still put up some pretty impressive numbers averaging 26 points, 7 assists and 3 boards.

    but.. I could see him being replaced on the list by Nash, Joe Johnson, Paul Peirce or maybe even Andre Miller.
