These are all too high:

12) Tim Duncan, PF, San Antonio Spurs (10)
14) John Wall, PG, Washington Wizards (40)
16) Dwight Howard, C, Houston Rockets (17)
17) Carmelo Anthony, SF, New York Knicks (5)
18) Tony Parker, PG, San Antonio Spurs (9)

Love should be 3rd or 4th

Duncan way lower.

Wade above westbrook.

Move up lillard

Move up lillard

Also, these two puzzle me:

38) Roy Hibbert, C, Indiana Pacers (47)
39) Derrick Rose, PG, Chicago Bulls (12)

Hibbert barely more valuable than D-Rose? Dude just might carry the Pacers to the Championship.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Overrated: Monta Ellis, Blake Griffin
Underrated: Chris Bosh, Andre Drummond

 

[#1BostonFan]

LeBron should be #1.

 

[#1BostonFan]

Duncan at 12 is too high.

Hibbert is overrated. He sucks on offense unless he is playing a PF acting as C

 

[bksballer89]

He is 7'2 and he struggles to avg 8 RPG.

You're clearly just a hater. Roy Hibbert will probably win DPOY. lol.

 

[bksballer89]

You are just a hater. Roy Hibbert will probably win DPOY. lol.

Where did I say anything about his defense? Can you read? He's a great defensive center but he is terrible on offense unless he's playing some PF playing the 5 position and he is a god awful rebounder for his height. Dwight and Love would avg about 15 RPG if they were 7'2

 

[uncfan103]

I don't watch much NBA, but I'm surprised Lawson is above Kyrie. I guess Lawson just doesn't get respect from the media that he deserves.

 

[bksballer89]

Kyrie hasn't been good this year really

I don't have to read past "Can you read?" It doesn't matter if anything you said is true, fact is that if you had to make one post about it, let alone two, says you are a hater and not too informed about what you disagreed with. Hibbert should be higher than where he is and right now shouldn't be so close to Rose at 38th. Leading cadidate for DPOY at 38th? No lol.

Considering love is close to 15 now. I think he would approach 20 lol

 

[bksballer89]

Probably true. It's a damn shame when someone that tall cannot even grab 12 boards per night

 

[Shanemansj13]

LeBron should be #1.

This and Love > Aldridge

 

[bksballer89]

Hurricane what is the reason why you placed KD over Lebron? Just curious

 

[Lone Granger]

Probably true. It's a damn shame when someone that tall cannot even grab 12 boards per night

Hibbert is coming for Miami.
