    Default Are these the top 6 players in the nba this year?

    Yes or no. If not who would you take out/replace?

    Stephen Curry
    James Harden
    LeBron James
    Russell Westbrook
    Chris Paul
    Anthony Davis

    RPM leaders, but for the sake of the thread assume that we are talking about the top 6 in any order. So Steph Curry isnt necessarily the best player in the nba, just a part of the top 6.

    Yes, but here is how I'd rank them as players:

    1) LeBron
    2) Harden
    3) Westbrook
    4) A. Davis
    5) C. Paul
    6) S. Curry

    This seems accurate to me for this season. Nice correlation between RPM and traditional ranking methods.

    not in order, obviously, as the playoffs will expose a couple of those players, but yea, those are definitely the top 6.

    curry will win the mvp award with ease BTW

    2) curry
    3) westbrook

    This year, yes. I think it goes something like this:

    1.) Curry
    2.) Davis
    3.) LeBron
    4.) Harden
    5.) Paul
    6.) Westbrook

    In a vacuum, with all players healthy:

    1.) LeBron
    2.) Davis/Durant
    3.) Durant/Davis
    4.) Paul
    5.) Curry
    6.) Harden

    http://espn.go.com/nba/seasonleaders

    1 GOATbrook
    2 Davis
    3 Harden
    4 James
    5 Curry
    6 Cousins

    Actual 7 best:

    1. LeBron James
    2. Kevin Durant
    3. Stephen Curry
    4. Russell Westbrook
    5. Chris Paul
    6. James Harden
    7. Anthony Davis

    But considering Durant's been injured/not 100% when playing that's actually a really accurate list.

    1. Harden
    2. Curry
    3. Paul (He's been devouring the best point guards)
    4. Davis
    5. Westbrook (Great individual play, but he's clearly not capable of beating good teams consistently as the lead guy)
    6. Irving (Been the best closer in the league)
