You have Isaiah Thomas WAY too high.

John Wall and CP3 are both better point guards than him.

1. Lebron
2. Kawhi
3. KD
4. Curry
5. Westbrook
6. Harden
7. AD
8. CP3
9. Wall
10. George

ETA- this is hard AF after the top 6. Guys like Gobert, Butler, Giannis, etc all can be argued for to be in there

Tier 1 - LeBron

Tier 2 - KD, Kawhi, Westbrook, Harden, Curry, AD

Tier 3 - CP3 and others that take us past 10.

Cop out, I know, but the only real way to do it IMO.

Hassan Whiteside might not be a top 10 player but would likely be a top 10 pick if every team started from scratch

its a ball handler's league. Guys like AD and Cousins are dominant, efficient, but they need a competent guard on their team to make it far. That's just the reality of the game these days. I think as an individual AD makes the top 3, but I can't knock down the guards/guys on better teams either.

1. LBJ - elite 2 way player
- faults: shooting FTs
2. Durant - elite 2 way player
- faults: health
3. Leonard - elite 2 way player
- faults: ball handling
4. Curry - elite offensively
- faults: size/defense
5. Westbrook - elite offensively
- faults: shot selection
6. Harden - elite offensively
- faults: defense
7. Davis - elite 2 way player
- faults: health
8. Paul - elite 2 way player
- faults: health
9. Giannis - elite 2 way player
- faults: inability to shoot
10. George - elite 2 way player
- faults: decision making

If KD had the killer instinct of Harden or Westbrook, he would be on LeBron's level. I truly believe that. Maybe the most unguardable player in the NBA. A guy that tall who can shoot that well is just unfair.

I'll say:

Lebron
KD
Kawhi
Harden/Curry/Westbrook (These three are so damn close)

There is a pretty big dropoff after the Top 6

Giannis
AD
Chris Paul
Paul George or Jimmy Butler maybe? John Wall is close as well.

This bottom 4 is just not even close to the Top 6.

You list a top 10 and all of them made the playoffs but one, and his healthy team finished 14 games under .500

I think AD can be as unstoppable as anyone, but if he's really a top 10 guy, then we should be in the playoffs when he plays as much as he did this year.
OKC is terrible and Westbrook got them 13 more victories. And he guided them to 45 wins a few years ago when Durant was out the majority of the year.
The Pacers don't have a great team either this year, yet they found a way to stay above .500

I'm the biggest Pels fan around, and I wouldn't put AD in the top 10, at least not until he starts getting his team to the postseason. He is easily one of the most talented players in the league, but is yet to figure out how to turn that into victories for his team on a consistent basis.
