Top 10 at each position

[G-men]

Who the fuck is Kevin Smith?

Who the fuck is Kevin Smith?

I think he's a hockey player?

 

[Glenbino]

Rose isn't going to even play next season and let's see what he does when he comes back since so much of his game was predicated on his ability to be explosive.

Ray Allen being a top 10 two-guard at this stage of his career is laughable. Avery Bradley was clearly the better player than him last season and he can't even play more than twenty minutes of one dimensional ball anymore.

And that one dimension is no longer what it was either. Ray needs a lot of help from rest of his team to get an open look these days. And those looks aren't automatic like they were 5 or 6 years ago.

I wasn't ready to put Avery Bradley on a top 10 SG in the league list. I could have put Kevin Martin or something, but his game and shot mechanics piss me off.

Oh that's not I was saying at all... Just that Ray is a rotational shooter and nothing more at this point. Certainly not a guy who I would consider an every night starter at the 2-guard.

I had a hard time with 2 guards, the position in general is pretty bleh outside the top 8-9. In hindsight Kevin Martin is probably better overall than Allen, and maybe Wes Matthews too, but I didn't want to put chuckers like Lou Williams or Marcus Thorton over him either. I'm guessing this coming season Klay Thompson and Paul George will both emerge as clear top 10 players at the position as well.

Yeah, I was going to say the sg position is pretty weak. At this point in his career I thought Wade would have surpassed Kobe, but he really hasn't. Beyond those 2 guys the rest if the top 10 are lower second tier guys.....good players, but not elite.

My bold prediction:
If Jeremy Lamb plays the way he is supposed to I could see him cracking the top 10.

This position looks bright with young potential. I think Klay Thompson will be a stud and I believe Terrence Ross will explode for the Raptors. If only Brandon Roy's knees would of held up. :SMH:

Seems like everybody's SG and PF vary greatly

[Agent]

As a Pacer fan I am shocked to see Hibbert rated so high he's in the top 10. IMO if Lopez/Chandler/Horford/Verajao had been healthy then Hibbert wouldn't have even been thought to be an NBA All-Star.

Your sg list is interesting. Harden is really low and I totally forgot about Mayo.

[Point Blank]

Wow at some of these lists. If Dirk isn't on your PF list and or you have Blake Griffin ahead of him

But Blake dunks. jk.

My gut instinct just told me Harden is not better than the 7 listed before. Harden can create his own shot and score the ball but all I see from him is offense.
