I'm fine with Drummond being #1 considering his start. DeAndre and Rudy are a little too high imo. No other big misrankings imo, I was pleased with ESPN to see Gasol ranked appropriately for the first time in years.

Maybe they're rolling with him as a PF since WCS is listed as a C.

Horford has played well thus far but I'm just looking at general stats and not rim defense.

Dwight at #5 despite playing in half of his team's games.

Horford has been playing out of position his entire NBA career. Dude is PF.

Forgetting age, would anyone actually take Towns over Monroe, Lopez, and Gasol this year?

Looks like some players are ranked based on this year's performance, others aren't.

D12 (and me) are proud to hand the throne off to Drummond.

No shite. I know he plays for a shite team, but Okafor is averaging almost 20 points already yet he's behind some really average guys.

i like him, but there have been times that I have argued against him.

As follows:

1) "Al Horford is an NBA superstar". ----- uhhh lol. Not even close, I say. So I guess I hate him now?

2) "Al Horford is a better center than Hassan Whiteside". as i said, i like Horford, but Whiteside has everything i want in a 5. Horford doesnt.


im takng Whitside over Jordan & Howard as well, both guys ranked ahead of him on this list. Prob Gobert too, though he has age on his side.
