Top 15 (Right Now)

Here is my top 15. I am not basing this off of who had the best season. Just frankly, how I would rank the BEST players. I look at a few different factors including: stats (including advanced numbers), crunch time EYE TEST (do I trust these guys at the end of a game), impact to winning.

Tier 0 (I honestly think these 3 are interchangeable on any given night)

  1. SGA
  2. Joker
  3. Wemby

Tier 1
4. Luka
5. Giannis

Tier 2 (Tatum injury concerns but tough to leave him out of this tier)
6. Ant
7. Tatum
8. Curry

Tier 3
9. Cade (if he loses this series Brunson is over him)
10. Brunson (tough to discredit what he has done in the playoffs)
11. Maxey
12. D Mitch (I know this one will be debatable. Most people have him higher. I just feel like he constantly gets a pass for not getting it done)

Tier 4 (these guys are amazing, but tbh you just can’t trust them to bring guaranteed TEAM success anymore)
13. Kawhi
14. Durant
15. Booker

Honorable Mention: I think Jaylen Brown had an unbelievable season. I wouldn’t put him over anyone in that top 15 bc let’s face it, in crunch time he CANNOT handle the ball and control the game. But he definitely deserves a mention due to how great he was this season. If we just ranked this by who had the best season he would certainly be up there.

AD sadly just doesn’t hoop anymore. He is a guy who is on this list any given time 100% but sadly just never playing.

Lebron stans….im sorry in advance since I know it’s coming. He is my #1 player of all time. But it’s okay for me to say at this stage he is not top 15.
