I like Tristan Thompson's motto "Be a star in your role" but I don't think that makes him a top 10 player.

"It was time for a change and I decided this was the best direction for the organization, said Vlade Divac. "Winning begins with culture and character matters."

Shots fired.

Durant can't guard those guys, and draymond is going to have a tough time. If I'm pelicans im ISO posting up on draymond every time and watch him get worn out/foul trouble.

Posting up draymond on every possession if what dreams are made of if you're steve kerr

So you're saying that at least one of russ, kiwi, harden, cp3 or giannis isn't a top 10 player

That's a lot of top 10 players.

was going to say the same thing. Boogie is more in the 15 range, right?

I think someone like Boogie depends on team fit more than most. Obviously he needs the ball, not really a guy who could just score in the flow of the game or enhance your team much on the defensive end.

But with league avg teammates I think he is top 10 at carrying a team to 45 wins (even if the results don't necessarily show that, I would say the Kings were just that AIDSy)

Just saw a quote that someone in the front office said that this is one of the strongest draft classes in a decade

Has someone informed these morans that they don't have a top 5 pick

It's close but there's certainly an argument to be made that boogie is top 10. Butler can be added to Cinas list too but asset and player aorn can be two different things. I don't think boogie top 10 is too egregious

Big yani fan here too

top 10 at carrying a team to a mediocre record is a pretty weird metric

So what are the chances the kings and Pelicans got together and decided to flip a coin winner gets Boogie and Davis, loser gets a few draft choices? 50/50 chance on being relevant.

Yeah, I think that means he isn't top 10 if he is only top 10 under that 1 category.

Someone like Paul George or John Wall you would probably take over him on most teams.

Tough to say, really isn't anyone else in the league to compare him to so no frame of reference on his proto-type in other situations.

Maybe just throw Vivek under the bus and say prioritizing getting Hield isn't his doing.

There's one team with multiple top ten players, and it's Golden State.

Bron
Curry
Durant
Harden
Westbrook
CP3
Kawhi

Top seven seems super uncontroversial to me. Can't imagine any of those seven being left off. Beyond that you have a group of guys that are kind of muddled and unclear

Giannis
Draymond
Jimmy Butler
Kyle Lowry
Jokic
Gobert
Brow
Boogie
Wall
Paul George

Giannis seems like he really should be top ten, and I think it's a stretch to say that Brow and Boogie are taking the 9/10 slots together. Not completely impossible, but seems like a real stretch.

yeah realized that. whenever I type out one of these top 20ish player lists, there's always at least one guy I forget.

Where do Kyrie and Klay rank? I don't know if either is top 20 honestly. That's 17 guys in my post above I'd probably take above them. The next tier beyond that second tier is probably like

Kyrie
Love
Klay
LMA
Dame
Blake
Millsapp
IT
Marc Gasol
Conley

I'm sure there are arguments for others as well, not gonna try to remember everyone
