    Ibaka top 25 a bit strange, I didn't focus on him much last season, but did he do enough to warrant that

    so their top ten is:

    lebron
    kd
    westbrook
    curry
    cp3
    harden
    kawhi
    davis
    griffin
    marc gasol

    in some order

    i like kawhi but i think its a little early to have him top 10, and i think gasol will fade out of the top 1 this coming year too.

    id rather have wall, boogie, or aldridge in the top 10 instead of them.

    Wall being 10 spots higher than Kyrie is pretty laughable...

    I get that he's a better passer and defender, but concerning Kyrie's in another world in terms of offensive skills, such a huge gap isn't warranted...

    they had a video with the rankings, saying that injuries play a factor, and kyrie potentially missing the first 2 months are why he's that low.

    Draymond Green who is a role player being #16 is disrespectful to all the stars he is ahead of

    Kyrie averages barely 5 more ppg than Wall but Wall gives you 5 more apg and all nba defense....

    Not really laughable

    kyrie give you far better perimeter shooting, and thus gives more spacing for his other teammates to go off.

    beal would probably look like a better creator off the dribble, if he had someone like kyrie spacing the floor for him instead of wall.

    Wall's the better all-arounder, not sure if that translates to 10 places better though. If Wall is 13, Kyrie shouldn't be any lower than 17 or so...

    They did good putting Kawhi in the top 10, but shit is terrible besides that.. doubt they put much thought into it, when you just put Kyrie 23rd, behind guys like Bosh, Horford, KEVIN LOVE (WTF), PG, etc.

    John Wall is the engine of an offense essentially 100% of the time he's on the floor. He's not free to hunt out his own shot all the time. He's not close to the shooter Kyrie is, but I take him in just about every facet of the game besides that.
