    I can take Steph Curry been third before Harden, but this Anthony Davis lovefest has gotta stop. What has he actually achieved?

    Anthony Davis and Gannis both could put up monster numbers this year as foci of their team. The question is will "team success (wins)" come along with it. The Bucks/Gannis have a shot at getting to #3 in the East. That might be enough to get him MVP, tbh.

    Davis is going to have to battle the West. We'll see. I think the Rondo loss will be a big factor for the Pelicans because AD needs someone to get him the ball in advantageous spots. We'll see how he does without that type of PG.

    Aside from "hard numbers" the fact remains the media are smitten with Gannis/AD's athleticism and that drives a lot of the narrative when juxtapose with Harden (and his methodical game).

    Gary Clark snubbed; list is invalid.

    21 for Clint is way too high.

    Let’s let the man develop some type of independent offensive skill set before we go there.

    The stats for several of the players aren't even close to being correct

    Pretty damn sure Jaylen Brown averaged more than 4.5 ppg and PJ Tucker didn't snag over 7 rpg...

    That’s by far the highest ranking for Clint of any rankings.

    #13 — Jimmy Butler

    But, if Rockets get him, they will quickly re-rank him in the 20s, below KAT.

    Other notables:

    • lulz at the Washington Post ranking Dwight the Wizard in Top 75.
    • Is that the first time Al Horford has ever cracked a Top 20
    • snooze at yet another Top 3 for AD
    • Joe Ingles Top 50 ... really??
    • Poor Wiggins at #99. Is that the lowest ranking for a Max rookie scale extension player ever? (Non-injured)
    • Morris Twins once again picked in succession, like on draft day. Haha
    • Paul George almost ranked higher than Westbrook

    That is a dubious distinction!

    The "anti" Morey player.
