Top 5 players at Each Position

[bLACKpANTHER]

PG:

1.Chris Paul- he will start to be labeled as a player that never accomplished anything if he doesn't do something in the next 2 years or so.

2.Tony Parker- and at the other end of the spectrum^^^

3.Russell Westbrook- is he really a PG? well that's what he is labeled and he's probably in the Top 5 in the league so he better be in the Top 5 PGs

4.Steph Curry- he could be #1 if he leads them to the WCF or NBA Finals

5.Damian Lillard- the force is strong with this one. Sky is the limit.

 

Honorable mention: D.Rose's injuries have kept him off the list. He has to prove he can play more than a handful of games to crack the Top 5.

 

SG:

1.James Harden- defense is atrocious, but man can he fill it up.

2.Lance Stephenson- CODE RED 'HOMER' ALERT - but is it..?? ...IS IT!?!

3.Klay Thompson- doesn't hurt when you play opposite Steph but hey, he still can ball

4.DeMar DeRozen- have the Raptors ever won a playoff series with DeRozen?

5.Bradley Beal- see Lillard^^

 

Honorable mention: Kobe & D.Wade are the vets that will go down in the Top 5 SGs of alltime, but not for what they do in 2014-15.

 

SF:

1.LeBron James- GOAT SF???

2.Kevin Durrant- NBA MVP

3.Carmelo Anthony- I couldn't put the next 2 above him. And you couldn't either. Try, I dare you!!!

4.Kahwi Leonard- see Lillard and Beal^^^

5.Paul George- would have been #3 if it wasn't for the 2nd half of the season.. and playoff run..

 

Honorable mention: Gordon Hayward & Loul Deng suffered from down years last year. Look for them both to bounce back this year.

 

PF:

1.LaMarcus Aldridge- The Top 3 at this position change on a nightly basis.

2.Blake Griffin- The Top 3 at this position change on a nightly basis.

3.Kevin Love- The Top 3 at this position change on a nightly basis.

4.Anthony Davis- see Lillard, Beal and Kahwi^^^^

5.Chris Bosh- I wanted to put Dirk/Ibaka in here, but Bosh's all around game kept him in.

 

Honorable mention: Dirk, Duncan & Ibaka don't make it because the first 2 players are in the twilight of their careers and Ibaka's offense couldn't put him over the top.

 

C:

1.Dwight Howard- Don't you wish he didn't Always automatically get the top spot..? Me too..

2.Al Jefferson- CODE RED 'HOMER' ALERT - but is it..?? ...IS IT!?!

3.Joakim Noah- playing along Pau Gasol might make his game even better.. possible?

4.Marc Gasol- no one wants to bang with this pear-shaped bruiser.

5.DeMacus Cousins- see Lillard, Beal, Kahwi and Davis^^^^^^

 

Honorable mention: Brook Lopez & Drummond are both great, but Lopez has been hurt and Drummond needs another year of work to make the Top 5 cut.

 

Dishonorable mention: Roy Hibbert

So the hornets have two of the premier players at their respective positions in the league?

Yeah, offseason optimism is still alive and well.

[Its The Milk]

Al Jefferson definitely is top 5. No homerism in that.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

I mean, they do. Maybe not where he has them ranked but Al is a top 3 center and Lance is near the top among SGs

I certainly cannot think of five better at either position.

SG position is probably the weakest in the league. 

 

Lance is def a top 5 SG when you talk about a complete game. I think after this season as a main option this wont even me a question. 

 

 

[YoungPanthers89]

I think Center is 

 

Noah

Al

Cousins

Howard

Gasol

[Omega Atrocity]

We definitely have 2 of the top 5 players at their position, it's hard to argue against it. It just happens to be at the 2 weakest positions in the league.

[Moose87Banks]

Lance isn't #2

Good list, BP.

 

If you expanded it to a  top 10 at each position, Kemba would surely be in there.

Whats your top 5?

[cbarrier90]

Bosh is a natural 4 but he has been playing the 5. Drop Gasol for him in that top 5 then replace Bosh's vacated spot with Timmay.

[MichaelNewtonII]

Paul George > Kawhi. Kawhi had a good finals let's see what he does from now on, he's got a lot to prove other than have a good series

Bosh will be considered the top PF maybe 2nd after this year he's going to put up some big # in Miami this year without lebron
