    While Kobe is top 5 of alltime. No Way a team would take him in the top 10 due to his age and declining game

    Lopez would be lucky to be in the top 25 NBA players right now, ask NJ fan's what they think of him.

    Here's a top 5, based on youth, and leading a team for 5 years.

    1 - Lebron
    2 - Howard
    3 - Rose
    4 - KD
    5 - Wade/Griffin

    1. LeBron James
    2. Kevin Durant
    3. Dwight Howard
    4. Chris Paul
    5. Derrick Rose
    6. Dwyane Wade
    7. Deron Williams
    8. Carmelo Anthony
    9. Rajon Rondo
    10. Toss up between Pau Gasol and Kevin Love
    Honorable mentions: A'mare and Russell Westbrook

    If KD can improve his defense, he might go #1. I didn't include Blake Griffin or John Wall because they have not completed a full NBA season. Pau or Kevin go #10 because they are dominant scoring big men, Pau is a good rebounder, Kevin is a great rebounder, and both are good passers. I wanted to include Marc Gasol, but I haven't seen enough of him to include him.
