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

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
