And yours is? If you actually think Rondo is a top 50 player you should never log on this site again.
Like I said ima let him speak for himself

Go Cubs!!!
All we can do is wait.I'd be very happy if Rondo was a top 50 player this upcoming season, but I'm not expecting it.
CP3 has to work too hard to get his shot off and has some issues throughout his career when matched up against larger guards. We've seen him get to the playoffs over and over again with teams built around him and he can't be the lead guy. The Clippers have obviously had depth issues lately but Blake has to be the man and CP3 has to be the facilitator. Neither have really been impressive in alpha dog roles so far but I don't think the story has been written yet on Blake. He seems to get better ever year.Chris Paul is still the heart and soul of the Clippers. Where he goes, the team goes. When he chokes, the team chokes. He's the most irreplaceable on the team.
Honorable Mention: Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Danilo Gallinari, Andrew Wiggins, Mason Plumlee, Kobe Bryant, Brandon Knight, Markieff Morris, Tyson Chandler, Isaiah Thomas, Nerlens Noel, Kemba Walker, Al Jefferson, Marcin Gortat.

Top 5 I would have in a slightly different order, but the difference between them is negligible, imo. AD would be my #2. Then healthy KD #3, Steph #4.
Boogie is too low, he should be at that #10 spot over Dame.
Draymond is too high. No way he should be ranked above Jimmy Butler. I think #30 is more around his range.
Oladipo is too high. I think he'll have a good year, but he should be flipped with Conley. Conley is way too low.
-MCW has done nothing to value him as a top 50 player in the NBA, DeMar DeRozan would not go near the top 35 if the NBA GMs could draft out of the entire league.
I think your list devalues the defensive ability that big men bring to the table.
Too Low:
- KI - obviously

The story has been written on Z-bo, though. Conley is a much better player than Z-bo at this point. Id even wager that there could be a 10+ player separation between the two.
We'd have to come up with someone to put there. You certainly got the top 5 right although Lebron is going to have to shoot better than he did down the stretch last year to retain the top spot (I think he will)I'm surprised no one has bitched about Harden at #6...
Lots of love for Conley in this thread. Maybe he wasn't healthy last year and maybe it deflated his numbers a little bit, but to me he's a game-manager-type. Very solid, but doesn't posess any "wow" skill. Mediocre assist numbers. Just very ordinary at the PG position when stacked up against the guys he competes with in the west.
Jimmy Butler - Maybe I have him too low, but I'd like to see him prove that last year wasn't a contract-year effort - On the court. To this point it's just been lip service. For now, I had Draymond ranked over him for his one ring.
Cousins...Let's see him win some meaningful games at any point in his career.
Oladipo has that all-around game that isn't matched by many. Maybe his ranking is based on how high I am on Orlando this season. I truly believe they can make the Playoffs in this conference.
Just plz b part of this forum when he shows out this year
