2626131, And you got that from 30 games in 3 seasons? Got it.

2626146, 30 games last season, yeah

How many do you need to see to have an opinion on which player has more ability? That’s all I’m looking at here in ranking them.

I’d rather have Cousins because he’s proven he can stay healthy and produce for entire seasons, even though I think he’s not quite as good overall.

Is Kevin Love a center?
2626176, No, he's not.
Posted by Frank Longo, Tue Oct-17-17 04:42 PM
2626183, Nope
Posted by DJR, Tue Oct-17-17 05:09 PM
2626182, I forgot Gasol, slot him in after Cousins
Posted by DJR, Tue Oct-17-17 05:08 PM
2626446, Gobert or M Gasol at 9. I had Whiteside down twice.
Posted by TRENDone, Wed Oct-18-17 06:02 PM
2626048, no okafor? emeka or Jahlil
Posted by Cenario, Mon Oct-16-17 04:41 PM
2626049, add em when you make your top 10.
Posted by TRENDone, Mon Oct-16-17 05:04 PM
I wasn't sure about putting KLove in my list either.
2626127, I'm really high on Jokic. He has amazing passing ability
Posted by TRENDone, Tue Oct-17-17 01:22 PM
Not really athletic, but great footwork, big body, soft hands, always makes the right play.

AD
Him & Boogie are gonna do well together, but don't think Brow's gonna reach his max on that kind of team. I'd love to see him in a situation with shooters around him.

KAT
The kid's nice & I think another year under Thibs + Gibson/Butler there, his defense is gonna take big steps up. His long ball is a threat but once he gets that % closer to 37/38 he's gonna be unstoppable.

Gasol
His combo of defense/offense is just too high to go lower. he's lost a little on defense since he's focused more on scoring, but i like what him/conley can do especially if JaMychal Green is an above average starter.

Boogie
His talent is top 3 & his production is gonna be solid with AD next to him. Can easily see him going for like 26/13/4/2/1 on 55/37/80 shooting. I think he's learning to max out his defensive talent. Moving his feet/quick hands/strong base like Gasol.

Jokic
His passing is another level, he can score at all three levels, & he's a good rebounder. Love when they run him out of the high post with guys like harris/barton/chandler feasting on back cuts. unlike other great passing bigs (divac/bogut come to mind) he can get buckets down low & has a solid three ball. he just needs to get in better shape for the full year (seems like he actually gained weight last season) to take on the extra workload. He could learn a lot from studying with the Gasol brothers.

His post game isn't as athletic as young Pau, but those lakers years are within reach, plus how he uses his length to defend the rim. he can learn from marc's high post play on offense & how he moves his feet so well on defense.


Gobert
fantastic defender, better than i thought as a facilitator, just needs the right team around him

Embiid - the truth. i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt on the foot, cuz fuck it, why not just support the guy. offensively he's not Hakeem like they had originally tagged him, but he's top 3 scorer down low. good vision, can hit the 3, protect the rim? MVP in his future

DJ - knows what he does well & focuses on that. if only his FT wasn't so horrendous

Porzingis - should be getting heavy run at the 5. needs to develop his wing game on offense (KD/Dirk would work for him), & just continue to get stronger

Myles Turner - think he's gonna make a big jump this year.
2626444, thank you.

2626175, Drummond behind Javale McGee? Is this a joke?
Posted by cgonz00cc, Tue Oct-17-17 04:35 PM
The best reboundebin the NBA is not ranked behind Javale or either Lopez in any sensible list
2626181, I think that's just the list of players to choose from.
Posted by Cenario, Tue Oct-17-17 05:04 PM
