It makes perfect sense. In fact, shel had the exact same answer on page 2.

The top three are super obvious. I am not sure who is four and five. Right now I would consider Melo, George, Love, Davis, and maybe a couple others.

1. Lebron

3. Paul

Everything after the top 3 was difficult. I wanted to put Davis in there.

He's averaging 26 pts, 13 rebs, and 4 asst. I don't think that's overrated. 

one of the few times stats can be very overrated is the NBA player who puts up huge numbers on unsuccessful teams.

Love is an example, as well as Kyrie Irving currently.

Love is really good, just not top 5 good.

The number of responses without Chris Paul in the top 5 altogether, much less top 3 is a bit odd.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Minnesota's whole franchise is a trainwreck. It's been like this for a long time. Their roster is a disaster. It's not Love's fault. How can an efficient 26 pts, 13 rebs, and 4 asst be overrated? I don't get it.

other trainwreck/disaster rosters with top 5 players yield better results.

Their bench is a fricking joke (I've tried jumping on the bandwagon this year and it is painful to watch). Rubio makes me sad, too

They literally have no one on the bench.

As fun as it is to watch Rubio play, he has severe limitations at this point in his career.

Martin is more of a 6th man type. Talented, but inefficient.

Corey Brewer is OK. Pek is very very solid.

Yet its Kevin Love's fault that this clusterfrick of a roster is 25-28 in the loaded West?

Not only that but they've lost A LOT of games by one possession. Like an unusual amount. They were talking about it during the Pels/Wolves game.
