I feel like every year, AD is a couple spots too high on this list because of potential. He may end up better than CP3 and Harden this season, but I want him to actually prove it first.

You think Boogie should be top 10, or that Draymond is way too high?

Draymond is in the 15-20 range.

Swiss Army knife player. Amazing defender. But not enough game on offense. I'd put John Wall at #10. And I'd put Harden ahead of AD.

I don't know if I'd put him over Paul George but if draymond can have a season like he did in 2016 when he was shooting 38% from behind the arc then I could at least listen to an argument for him

Wall, Butler, and George should all be ranked higher than Draymond.

Also, glad to see who the Alpha is in Houston.

I'd put Cousins and KAT ahead of Green as well

I'd really like to see the argument for KAT over Cousins. I just don't see it.

ETA: or should I say, why KAT is ranked THAT much higher than Cousins. They are similar to me, with Cousins actually being better defensively.

The cult of Boogie is wild, I'm sure Sac fans are relieved they don't have to do this anymore

I think if the Pelicans replaced Cousins with Draymond they'd be a better team.

If NOP misses the playoffs with their top 3 mostly healthy, I'd advocate he should never sniff a top 10 until he can prove that he can lift a team up.

For me, this is a huge make or break year for AD.

That's because we could play him at the 3/4 spots. You'd then have 2 top 10 defenders. And Draymond could run an offense therefor making him a position that's more valuable. But as far as talent goes, Cousins > Draymond


Green having Curry and Klay (and now KD) certainly helps. If I'm choosing from those 4. Green is 4th for who I think makes the Pels better.

If we're not talking about potential, say just 1 season this year, what is the argument for KAT over Boogie?

Completely agree, and I'm a Boogie fan.

Advanced stats says Boogie > KAT
Eye test says Boogie > KAT


But it's a cult thing... ha. Cousins has a slight edge offensively and is at least competent on defense. KAT is lmao terrible in defense.
