[BigKAT]

1 Towns
2a Superman if he was real
2b Goku if he was real
-rest-

But what if Towns...IS superman?

[BedroomBully]

Curry at #3? Really?

[BedroomBully]

co-sign

after using the 2 time MVP as his personal toilet, def Top 10

LMAO

[BigKAT]

Isn't 40s a bit low for demar derozen?

I mean yeah he's flawed but he's an ECF/All star player this year.

I'd expect at least top 25-30.

Aw my lil lap dog came back I was worried after I made a few posts today and didnt see you

You responded to my post first dipshit.

[Ben Simmons]

Im not sure how Durant proved he was better than Curry.

Anyways, the list isnt that bad.

[Ben Simmons]

Kawhi is not a top 4 player

Why not?

[bobopenguin]

this top 100 players list is a disaster.

[Prime_Shaq]

Devin Booker

[BlakFrankWhite]

Leonard over Westbrook? FOH.

GOATbrook was running trains over the fool all series.

[fiddy]

No Paul George in the top 10
Dray/Kyrie in the top 10

GSW stacked af though.

Kyrie carried Branita, you blind fool

You really think Draymond is a top 10 player in the league? Impact wise I can definitely see the argument but overall talent I can't put him over Boogie, Melo, Griffin, etc and maybe even Klay. Especially now with KD joining and hogging ball time Draymond might be reduced to a defensive oriented role player.

I just feel like the writers there are super obsessed with things like RPM and all that jazz and since Drays like the golden boy for advanced stats he'll be guaranteed a top spot

Curry at #3? Really?

#3 or #2. I think the sting of his underperformance in the Finals will hurt him here and the writers will use that against him, there's also the fact Durant is a more complete player overall

3 is about as low as I see them putting Curry. He still put together a GOAT-level offensive season last year and is a back to back MVP. No way he slides any lower than that

For anyone confused, the OP lists my predictions for what they'll put as the Top 10 based on how they've chosen so far. They're not my personal Top 10

If anyone else wants to join in the game and predict what their Top 10 would be, feel free

1. LeBron
2. KD
3. Curry
4. Westbrook
5. Kawhi
6. Davis
7. Harden
8. PG
9. CP3
10. DMC/Melo

This is not my top 10, but I predict SI's will end up being similar.

Just read their take on Reggie Jackson at #54

"No matter what he accomplishes, the focus usually centers on the things Reggie Jackson doesn’t do rather than the things he does. Unfortunately for Jackson (18.8 PPG, 6.2 RPG), there’s a lot of things he doesn’t do all that well: he’s not a big-time finisher, he’s not an all-around playmaking maestro, he’s not a true end-to-end threat in transition, he’s not a knockdown three-point shooter, he’s not the world’s greatest defender, his decision-making can be spotty, and he’s on an $80 million contract, which tends to make all of those problems feel even worse than they are. On top of that, Jackson is 26 and had free rein last year, so it’s hard to project significant further improvement across so many areas. In his defense, though, Jackson is a quality and comfortable pick-and-roll practitioner whose arrival in Detroit was critical to the team’s offensive improvement. While there might be reasonable doubts about his ceiling as a player and a team’s ceiling with him as the head of the snake, Jackson nevertheless oversaw a 44-win team that made the playoffs after a six-year drought. That should count for something, especially if he proves he can deliver that type of result on a consistent basis for the duration of his deal. (Last year: No. 94)"

Guy must have something against him for going in like that
