1. Durant
2. Westbrook
3. Love
4. Rose
5. Lebron
6. Howard
7. Eric Gordon
8. Greg Monroe
9. Blake Griffin
10. Paul George
11. Kyrie Irving
12. Jrue Holiday
13. Bynum
14. Demarcus Cousins
15. Enes Kanter

i think howard is going to fall off some

kobe/wade/paul/curry are out of the discussion due to long-term health and/or age worries

and obviously i'm projecting and may have made a big mistake somewhere

This is who will be the best over the course from 2012 to 2022, right?

Also, you are missing players currently in college and/or high school.

I would have Cousins and Irving higher than Monroe, and I wouldn't have Jrue on that list. I would probably add Lowry in his place. Swap Kyrie and Gordon, remove Kanter and add Rubio. Imo

I'll go out on a limb and say the No.1 player is likely someone not on your list. It may be someone we don't even know exists at this time.

I'd move Irving up a lot as Well. Hell, I'd probably move Lebron up to number 2 at least. He is def going to be better then anyone on that list not named Durant for the next 5 or 6 years and will still probably be top 5 to top 10 for the other 4 or 5 years.

Add Paul George from the Pacers to this, too.

edit. My fault he's #10.

I would say Ricky Rubio is #16.

Kyrie will be the top PG in the league in 3 years.

If you're going for all of the NBA, then you may have to project guys like Anthony Davis in there. If you're doing the current NBA players then I don't see anything that pisses me off here.

Lebron is too low IMO. If Lebron continues to be a fricking freak for maybe five more years, then he could easily be top two.

Do you think Howard's body will break down? Just curious.

I would include Wall, DWill, CP3 (willing to take the risk), and Lowry. Not sure about Holiday or Kanter. Cousins still could be super volatile with behavior issues, but the talent is definitely there. What about Steph Curry or do you think his ankle is too serious an issue?

So when is the holocaust for Paul, Williams, Rose, and Westbrook gonna take place?

10 years is a long time.

If you had made this list 10 years ago, virtually none of these players would be on the list.

Westbrook and Monroe too high.
